Controls and Enclosures
Controls (excluding drain stoppers) must be located below grab bars toward the front so that
they are within reach from outside the tub. Enclosures cannot obstruct controls, faucets,
shower and spray units, or transfer to tub seats or into bathtubs or have tracks on the rim of
the open tub face.
