(ו) טפח - ולא יותר משום צניעות ומלפניו טפחיים דמתוך שהוא דוחק א"ע לגדולים הוא בא לידי קטנים וצריך טפחיים משום קלוח מי רגלים הנתזין למרחוק והב"ח כתב דנכון להחמיר שיהיה גם מלפניו רק טפח ולא הסכימו עמו הרבה מהאחרונים. ויזהר שלא ילכלך שם בגדיו וגופו ומנעליו

English Translation

A tefach - And not anymore because of modesty, but there should be two tefachim in front of him in case he ends up urinating while he is pushing himself to defecate, and one needs two tefachim because of the flow of urine which sprays far. The Ba''ch wrote that it is proper to be stringent ― that there should also only be one tefach in front of himself ― but many Acharonim do not agree with him. One should be careful there that he does not soil his clothes, his body, or his shoes.
