Hello guys, I’m not sure what is supposed to be the minimum distance between the toilet flange and a sink drain (see picture) by the IPC code. Is it 30″? Thank you for your eventual help.

Not sure what the code says, but physically given 15" from center of toilet flange to edge of area required for toilet spacing and sink diameter of 9" for smallest sink; it couldn't be less than 20" and for most sinks your probably looking at 28-30".
Thank you very much. I appreciated it.
Your closet bend and sink drain are probably going to connect to the same stack anyway. Just make sure the space for the toilet is 30" wide.
Thank you so much! I always get good suggestions on here.
Not sure about distance from center to center. But what I do know is that the center of your toilet drain needs to be a min. of 15" from any obstruction (vanity, tub, etc.). Thats code min. We try to go for more.
