Access
When deciding on the positioning of the bath there are a number of points that should
be taken into consideration:
1. Hoist/wheelchair access
.
2. Service/cleaning access
.
3. Positions of any existing under floor pipe work or cabling
.
4. Conflict between doorways
5. Distance from walls/other objects
.
IMPORTANT - The bath must be sited at least 25mm away from any wall to ensure there
are no finger trap areas. It is usual to give around 100mm clearance to allow for easier
servicing if possible.
Flooring
Prepare the floor area and ensure it is flat, level and structurally sound & there are NO
SERVICES BURIED within the floor fixing area. For clarity there should be no services within
the space detailed on “Location of Bath End Feet Assembly” diagram.
