Enquire about this product
For the arrangement of the shower controls and adjustable head heights, 3 current regulatory documents advise slightly different configurations. Below is a summary of the requirements for each document (note, in particular, the inclusion/omission and mounting height of the secondary fixed shower head).
Please also read our section on Regulations for further detailed information.
| Document / Feature | Building Regulations Doc M | BS:8300 | Sport England Accessible Guidelines |
| Lever Control | see BS 8300 | yes | yes |
| Control Markings | logical & clear | logical & clear | not mentioned |
| Control Height (mm) | 750-1000 | 750-1000 | 1000 |
| Adjustable showerhead height (mm) | 1200 - 1400 | 1050 - 1850 | 1400 |
| secondary showerhead height (mm) | not specified | not required | 1800 (fixed) |
Our current fully Accessible shower panel package complies with Doc M and Sport England guidelines, thus includes a dual-mode, via a manual flow diverter valve, healthcare-rated shower valve, with a 1000mm* range wall-mounted riser rail.
Please note that the guidelines for Changing Places facilities are a hybrid of the DOC M and BS 8300 requirements:
There is no requirement for a secondary shower head (as BS 8300) and the adjustment range of the shower handset should be between 1200-1400 above finished floor level (as Doc M). A 2 metre hose may also be specified for assisted showering.
In Changing Places and other public accessible installations, where self-service showering may also be required, our T108A2L and related designs are recommended. These include the shower riser rail mounted directly onto the shower panel. Our T1Y8A2L and related models include the riser rail in deep orange to enhance colour and tonal contrast perception for the visually impaired, including by neurological decline (e.g. dementia). These shower ranges are also suitable for residential and acute care settings.
Where additional compliance* (BS 8300, HBN 00-02 etc) is desired to achieve the recommended riser adjustment range, an additional 600mm range riser rail may be wall mounted adjacent to the T108A2L shower panel (lower fixing at approximately 900mm AFFL).
Matching 600mm supportive grab rails are also available (these omit the handset carriage mechanism) and are suitable for vertical, horizontal or diagonal wall-mounting adjacent to accessible baths, basins and WCs.
* compliant with BS 8300, Wheelchair Housing Design Guide, NI Toolkit (OT Adaptations) and HBN 00-02 accessible guidance.
