Abstract
A combination tub and shower for installation in a home as a unit, an enclosure formed of a generally horizontal bottom wall and a substantially vertical sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom wall to a height which is greater than that of an adult human being so that the enclosure can serve as a shower stall. The sidewall has an opening formed therein which is spaced a substantial distance above the bottom wall so that the lower portion of the enclosure can serve as a tub for an adult human being. The opening serves to permit ingress and egress of a human being with respect to the shower stall and the tub. A vertically extending wall member is secured to the enclosure and extends outwardly from one side of the enclosure and has a frontal surface which faces in generally the same direction as the opening in the enclosure. The wall member is provided with access openings therein to permit access to the space behind the wall member so that plumbing connections for the tub and the shower stall can be made through the access openings. A removable panel is secured to the wall member and serves to close the access openings.
