ANSWER:

With no obstructions, it is 48” max and 15” min.

Per the 2010 ADA Standards 404.3.5 Controls, manually operated controls shall comply with section 309. Section 309.3 Height, operable parts shall be placed within one or more of the reach ranges specified in 308. Section 308 Reach Ranges, unobstructed forward and side reach shall be 48” maximum and 15” minimum.
