bath tub / habitability - Plumbing Zone

Tankless · 08-03-2010, 07:21 PM

1.5 bath SFD full shower / tub / WC / Lav and the other is just a WC and lav. If they remove the tub, does it need to be replaced? If it does, can a roman tub with 15" or 16" curb be considered a tub? This is more for code allowance (UPC) and resale implications...

can't speak for everywhere, but i've seen a few sfd with only a shower and nobody seemed to have a problem with it. I don't think it would be a plumbing code issue. sounds more like housing code or maybe zoning

I think FHA loans require a bathtub.....maybe not. I know for resale purpose it needs to have 1 bathtub.

UPC code requires any sfd to have at least one bathtub
