Verify ASTM/UPC listings, non-slip surfaces, and controlled overflow systems. Install a 2-inch trap, reachable shutoff valves, and anti-scald measures via temperature-regulating valves with 120°F maximum.
Maintain adequate floor clearance (30x48 inches minimum) for side transfer, including a seat-height rim (17-19 inches), and stabilizing bar backing at 33 to 36 inches AFF. Install a reduced-height or transfer deck, slip-resistant flooring, and secure anchoring. Specify quiet insulation materials, three-quarter inch supply for faster delivery, and independent GFCI when heated surfaces are installed. End with anti-fungal caulk and adequate ventilation.
Steam Showers and Saunas
Developing steam showers and saunas that unite comfort with compliance, you'll need to ensure both therapeutic benefits and regulatory standards are met.
