For commercial projects, ANSI 117.1 requires three grab bars:
- a 36" horizontal grab bar behind the toilet, starting 12" from the corner. The bar should be mounted at 33-36" above the floor.
- a 42" horizontal grab bar on the side wall, starting 12" from the corner
- an 18" vertical grab bar 39 to 40" from the corner, starting 39 to 41" above the floor.
Up until recently, most jurisdictions only required the two horizontal grab bars, but now many are requiring all three.

What is an ADA modified apartment?
Any apartment which has been modified to accommodate a disabled person would be considered an ADA modified apartment. The Americans with Disability Act, or ADA is a law which mandates that apartments must be modified to accommodate a disabled tenant. Any apartment that is subsidized by the federal government in any way, such as an LIHTC, requires that its owner pays for this. Conventional apartments, on the other hand, have the option of paying for it or allowing the tenant to pay for it, depending on the cost. Most ADA modified apartments are modified for wheelchair access, though many can be just as simple as having a raised toilet and grab bars.
