Gang Showers
Where gang showers are provided, a fully compliant shower is required. Either a transfer com-
partment or a roll-in compartment can be integrated with a gang shower.
Transfer Compartment at Gang Shower
Note: the seat wall must be high enough to provide sufficient back support at the seat. (Back support at
dressing room benches must extend 18” above the seat surface.)
Gang Shower Incorporating Roll-In Compartment
Note: A folding seat can be included in this solution as specified for roll-in compartments.
