actual size of shower.

4.21.2
Placement of shower spray unit
4.21.4, p42
needs to be clarified for 30" x
60" shower unit. Figure 35(b)
shows spray unit along back wall
at a minimum of 27" from side
wall. Figure 37(b) shows spray
unit on control side of wall at
18" from entry side (or 12" from
back wall). Are both
configurations acceptable?
Yes, we believe so.

Is there a required height for
4.21.6, p42
mounting of spray unit in "fixed"
position?
It must be within the front reach
range, 48" maximum.

Drawings of shower stalls in
Figure 37 should be revised to
delete high curbs.
We are aware of this
inconsistency. (Thanks for
noticing.)
D.3.23
4.23.3, p44
If there is a shower with no curb
nor any other obstructions such
as shower doors, is it allowable
to have a turning space or clear
space of another fixture in a
single use toilet overlap the
shower area? See example in
Figure D-6.
Figure D-6 does not include the
required 36" x 60" clear floor
space at the shower. If it did,
there would also be sufficient
clear floor space for the lav
without encroaching on the
shower.

4.28.3, p45
A frequency of 5 Hertz for
flashing lights appears too fast.
Is this value correct for the
fast flashing frequency? Also, a
minimum frequency should be
specified.
Current research recommends using
a clear xenon flash tube, high
intensity strobe light with an
intensity of 75 to 120 candela-
seconds and a flash rate of 1 to
