ADA 5 percent cluster rule

The ADA cluster rule is the provision in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design that, where multiple single-user portable toilets are clustered at one location, at least 5 percent of the units in each cluster must comply with the accessible toilet requirements and be identified with the International Symbol of Accessibility.

Hand sanitizer dispenser

A hand sanitizer dispenser is a wall-mounted pump inside a portable toilet or a freestanding post next to a cluster, filled with alcohol-based sanitizer and refilled at each service. It is the low-cost alternative to a handwash station when water is not required.

Service frequency

Service frequency is how often a portable toilet is pumped and cleaned, from once a week for a lightly used construction unit to daily for a festival cluster. The right frequency depends on users per day, hours of use, heat and whether the unit has a flushing water tank.

Cluster

A cluster is a group of portable toilets placed together at one location, often with a handwash station and a light. Events use several clusters spread across the site rather than one large bank, and the ADA percentage rule applies to each cluster.
