What does this toilet partitions and accessories rough-in checklist cover?

14 items across 4 sections, covering layout and approvals, partition blocking, grab-bar and accessory blocking, close-in release. Each item spells out what the person walking the job is actually looking for, not just a box to tick.

Who should run this inspection?

The carpenter or the accessories installer marking blocking, with the GC's superintendent releasing each restroom before drywall or tile covers the wall.

When in the schedule should this walk happen?

After framing and before drywall or tile, once the accessory and partition layout is set so blocking lands where each item will actually mount.

Why do these items ask for a photo?

9 of the 14 items call for photo evidence, 12 photos in all. A checklist answer without the photo is a claim; the photo is what makes the record worth something in a dispute and lets a reviewer approve work without re-walking the job.

What most often fails a toilet partitions and accessories rough-in inspection?

Grab-bar blocking centered on a generic height instead of the fixture layout, so the bar lands off the accessible mounting zone. Blocking installed for the partitions but forgotten for dispensers and the folding seat, found only when an anchor hits hollow wall. Blocking marked on the framing but never confirmed against the accessory schedule before the wall is closed.

Can I use this checklist in RTI?

Yes. Start a free RTI workspace, build this list as a checklist, and the Photo Gate holds the submit button until every mandatory item is answered and its photos are attached. Approved inspections roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper evident audit trail.

Toilet partitions and accessories rough-in inspection checklist

Toilet partitions and accessories rough-in is the last time the work is fully visible. Once the cover inspection passes and the walls, ceilings and slabs close, every defect left behind becomes a demolition bill. This checklist walks the rough-in in the order the work goes in, with the photo each item needs before it gets buried. Work is commonly verified against the applicable building code, manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

The checklist

Every item, and the photo evidence it needs

The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Work the list here and watch the gate hold, or load it into RTI and let it enforce the real thing.

Layout and approvals

Blocking laid out from the approved restroom drawings
Heights and locations marked from the enlarged plans, interior elevations and accessibility plan for this room, not from a typical detail or a previous job.
No photo
Partition and accessory submittals approved before blocking
Approved partition shop drawings and accessory product data on hand, so bracket spacing and anchor patterns match the units actually ordered.
No photo
Fixture centerlines checked as the blocking reference
Water closet and lavatory rough-in located on the wall and matched to the layout, since the bars, dispensers and partitions all dimension from them.

Partition blocking

Backing set for panel and pilaster anchor points
Solid blocking at wall-mount panel brackets and pilaster wall attachments, located to the partition layout for this room.
Backing material and attachment match the framing detail
Treated wood, metal strap or backing plate as the drawings call for, fastened to the studs at each end rather than toe-nailed or friction-fit.
Blocking set in plane with the stud face
Backing flush with the studs so board or tile backer lies flat and flanges seat tight; nothing proud of the framing or recessed behind it.
Overhead support for ceiling-hung partitions in place
Where the drawings show ceiling-hung units, the structural support above the ceiling is installed and located to the pilaster layout before the ceiling closes.
No photo

Grab-bar and accessory blocking

Grab-bar backing verified against mounting heights
Continuous backing behind the rear and side grab-bar runs, checked against the required mounting heights and the fixture centerline.
Backing present for each mounted accessory
Blocking confirmed for dispensers, the seat cover holder, mirrors, the folding seat and any other wall-mounted accessory before close-in.
Backing width spans each accessory's full anchor pattern
Blocking wide and tall enough to catch every anchor hole shown in the product data for mirrors, combination units and changing stations, not a single narrow strip.
Blocking clear of supply and waste piping in the wall
No blocking notched around or forced against piping, and no pipe running where an anchor will be drilled behind a bar, seat or dispenser.
Rough openings framed for recessed accessories
Where recessed or semi-recessed units are scheduled, opening width, height and wall depth framed to the approved product data so the unit fits the finished wall.
No photo

Close-in release

Blocking locations recorded with a tape in the photo
Tape run from the floor reference to the blocking edges on each wall, so the as-built location can be found after the wall is closed.
Each restroom released to drywall or tile after the walk
Release logged room by room once blocking is verified, and the drywall or tile foreman told which walls are clear to close.
No photo

What usually sends this back

The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work

Grab-bar blocking centered on a generic height instead of the fixture layout, so the bar lands off the accessible mounting zone.
Blocking installed for the partitions but forgotten for dispensers and the folding seat, found only when an anchor hits hollow wall.
Blocking marked on the framing but never confirmed against the accessory schedule before the wall is closed.
