In response to the answer to hot (tempered) water being required in
restrooms, can you please substantiate the "yes" answer with a code
reference? We have not been able to find this. Unless it is required by the
Florida Dept. of Hotels and Restaurants. 

FBC Plumbing 2007 

SECTION 607 HOT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

 

 

607.1 Where required. In occupied structures, hot water shall be supplied to
all plumbing fixtures and equipment utilized for bathing, washing, culinary
purposes, cleansing, laundry or building maintenance. 

Exception: In nonresidential occupancies, hot water or tempered water shall
be supplied for bathing and washing purposes. The delivery of cold water
only shall be permitted to be delivered from all hand-washing facilities
except where hot water is required by law. 

So where is the hot water required by law

If these are the lavatories that are used by the employees to wash their
hands, then yes.

Good day all.........just a quickie for the day.... If a business ( food )
is leasing space and the COMMON AREA restrooms are to be used by all in the
same building.....is there anything in the code that states that the
restrooms MUST have hot water.... The food business portion has 3 handsinks
that do supply hot water for the employees of said food business.

 

Thanks Bunches
