| | WITH CORRESPONDING DRAWINGS AND DETAILS- SECTION |
| | 107.2.1 WPB: |

| | BEING REPLACED, OR IF AN EXISTING TUB AND SHOWER IS |
| | BEING CONVERTED TO A SHOWER. |

| | SHOWER VALVES. |
| | INDIVIDUAL SHOWER AND TUB-SHOWER COMBINATION VALVES |
| | SHALL BE BALANCED-PRESSURE, THERMOSTATIC OR COMBINATION |
| | BALANCED-PRESSURE/THERMOSTATIC VALVES THAT CONFORM TO |
| | THE REQUIREMENTS OF ASSE 1016/ASME A112.1016/CSA |
| | B125.16 OR ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 AND SHALL BE |
| | INSTALLED AT THE POINT OF USE. SHOWER AND TUB-SHOWER |
| | COMBINATION VALVES REQUIRED BY THIS SECTION SHALL BE |
| | EQUIPPED WITH A MEANS TO LIMIT THE MAXIMUM SETTING OF |
| | THE VALVE TO 120 DEGREESF (49 DEGREES C), WHICH SHALL |
| | BE FIELD ADJUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S |
| | INSTRUCTIONS. IN-LINE THERMOSTATIC VALVES SHALL NOT BE |
| | UTILIZED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION. |
| | |
| | 5) FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES: BECAUSE THE |
| | BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AND |
| | THE DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR USABLE BATHROOMS IN DWELLING |
| | UNITS, THE ALTERATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THE |
| | BATHROOMS SHALL ALSO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING ACT. THE FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES |
| | ARE INCLUDED IN THE FLORIDA ACCESSIBILITY CODE- 2017 |
| | SIXTH EDITION. COMPLIANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES REQUIRES |
| | THAT CLEAR FLOOR SPACES FOR WHEELCHAIR APPROACHES TO |
| | BATH FIXTURES SHALL EITHER BE MAINTAINED AS ORIGINALLY |
| | DESIGNED OR PROVIDED WHERE NEW FIXTURES ARE BEING |
| | INSTALLED. THE PLAN IS INDICATING AN ALTERATION TO THE |
| | EXITING BATHING FIXTURE. PROVIDE AN ENLARGED |
| | DIMENSIONED DRAWING OF THE BATHROOM SHOWING DIMENSIONS |
| | OF THE NEW BATHING FIXTURE. AND THE REQUIRED CLEAR |
| | FLOOR SPACE DIAGRAM FOR THE NEW TUB AND SHOWER, OR |
| | SHOWER- SEE REQUIREMENT 7 CONTAINED IN THE GUIDELINES |
| | AND FIGURES 4, 5, AND FIGURES 7A, 7C, & 7D FOR |
| | GUIDANCE. CONCERNING THE SHOWER GRAB BAR AND WALL HUNG |
| | BENCH SEAT REINFORCEMENTS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN THE |
| | SHOWER WALLS TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE INSTALLATIONS. |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE DIMENSIONED ELEVATION VIEWS SHOWING THE |
| | LOCATIONS OF THE WALL REINFORCEMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1A) AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MEETING THE GUIDELINES FOR THE |
| | BATH ALTERATIONS, THE OWNER AND DESIGNER OF RECORD FOR |
| | THE PROPOSED PROJECT MAY PROVIDE A SIGNED AND NOTARIZED |
| | AFFIDAVIT WHICH WOULD INDICATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE |
| | PROPOSED DESIGN DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES, BUT WILL ALSO |
| | REQUIRE THE OWNER TO AGREE TO REVERT THE UNIT BACK TO |
| | COMPLIANCE AT TIME OF SALE IF SO REQUESTED BY THE |
| | BUYER. IF THIS OPTION IS CHOSEN, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL |
| | TO [email protected] AND I WILL SEND A COPY OF THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING AFFIDAVIT. IF CHOOSING THIS OPTION IT WOULD BE |
| | ADVISABLE AT A MINIMUM TO INSTALL THE SHOWER WALL |
| | REINFORCEMENTS. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
