persons who use wheelchairs. Ensure that at least 50% of the drinking fountains
have a spout height no higher than 36 inches, measured from the finished floor or
ground surface to the spout outlet; and a spout located at the front of the unit that
directs the water flow in a trajectory that is nearly parallel to the front of the unit

with one hand, require 5 lbf or less to operate without tight grasping, pinching, or
twisting of the wrist; and are front mounted or side mounted near the front edge.
