Fixture Clearances and Clear Floor Space Beyond Door Swing
Since this bathtub has a permanent seat, the required clearance extends at least 12” beyond
the head end wall. Similarly, the clearance at the transfer shower must extend the same
distance beyond the seat wall. The shower and bathtub clearances partially overlap. The door
swings into these clearances, and the required unobstructed wheelchair space beyond the
door swing is easily accommodated in this design.
