Room family

Laundry Room floor plan templates

A laundry is a plumbing and mechanical problem in a small box. It needs a hot and cold supply, a standpipe drain at the right height, a dryer vent run short enough to work with the fittings in it, and enough clear floor in front of the machines to open both doors. Stacked machines fit in a three-by-five foot closet; side-by-side machines with a folding counter need a room. The templates here cover a laundry closet, a full laundry room, an upstairs laundry closet and a mudroom laundry, each with the standpipe, supply and vent routing drawn.

Stacking only works with front-load machines. The closet templates are drawn on that assumption and say so on the sheet.

A room with a side-by-side washer and dryer, 36 in of floor in front of them, and usually a counter to fold on. About 7 by 9 ft.

The sheet carries the fixture clearances as drawn geometry on their own layer, with the dimension strings and room notes outside the walls.

Codes cited on the sheet

  • verified IRC 2021 M1305.1 — A level working space not less than 30 in deep and 30 in wide shall be provided in front of the control side to service an appliance.
  • verified IRC 2021 P2801.6 and P2801.6.1 — A storage tank water heater in a location where leakage will cause damage shall be installed in a pan, not less than 1.5 in deep, drained by an indirect waste pipe not less than 3/4 in.
  • verified IRC 2021 R305.1 — Ceiling height in bathrooms, toilet rooms and laundry rooms shall be not less than 6 feet 8 inches, rather than the 7 feet required of habitable spaces generally.
  • unverified IRC 2021 G2420.5 gas shutoff valve (unverified) — Where a gas dryer is used, an accessible gas shutoff valve is required at the appliance connection.
  • unverified IRC 2021 M1502 clothes dryer exhaust (unverified) — Clothes dryers shall exhaust to the outdoors. The maximum developed length of the duct, reduced by each elbow and fitting, is what decides where a laundry may be located, far more often than the floor area does.
  • unverified typical practice — 36 in of standing room in front of the machines for the door swing and a basket, and 6 in behind for hoses and the standpipe -- 9 in behind a gas dryer for the connector.

"Verified" means the citation was checked against the source text we hold. "Unverified" means it has not been, and should be read as a pointer to look the section up rather than as a quotation of it.

A single room on its own sheet is not a whole building, so the checks that grade a floor plate — exit counts, circulation share, fixture counts against an occupant load — have no subject here. They are listed rather than counted as passes.

Code sections are cited for drafting context only. A room drawn to a dimension in a model code is not a compliance determination: adoption, amendment and interpretation are local, and the governing edition in your jurisdiction may differ from the one cited. Nothing here is stamped or sealed. Verify against the code your project is permitted under and the actual specified products. See the license and terms.
