STATE BUILDING CODE INTERPRETATION NO. 00-05

CODE:

State Regulations for Barrier-Free Facilities

SECTION:

1106.11.10, 1106.27 Shower Stalls

QUESTION:

The American National Standard ICC/ANSI A117.1-1998 specifies a 36 inches by 36 inches transfer shower stall for Type A dwelling units. For Type B dwelling units, however, it specifies 36 inches by 36 inches as minimum dimensions. This appears to differ from the state code requirement which gives only a specific size for transfer shower stalls in Section 1106.11.10. Does the 36 inches by 36 inches transfer shower stall requirement of Section 1106.11.10 apply to Type B dwelling units?

ANSWER:

Yes.

SUPERSEDES:

None
