What accessibility requirements apply to lavatory faucet controls?
For an accessible lavatory, how do the requirements for faucet controls apply to lever handles versus touchless faucets? A lever takes some reach and force, while a sensor avoids gripping or turning a control but may be less predictable for users with varied reach or dexterity.
Which accessibility requirements apply specifically to the controls, and can local code or project review change what’s required? Water-saving performance seems worth comparing separately; a low-flow faucet isn’t automatically easier to use.
