Spacing for gang showers?

Spacing for gang showers?

• A. 750 mm / 30 inches
• B. 600 mm / 24 inches
• C. 900 mm / 36 inches
• D. 500 mm / 20 inches

Answer: (A)

Spacing between adjacent gang showers must allow safe access to each unit and prevent spray from one shower from interfering with the next. The standard spacing is 750 mm (about 30 inches) from center to center. This provides enough room for a person to stand in front of a shower, reach the controls, and move to safety without crowding the neighboring unit, while also reducing the chance of water impacting the adjacent shower area. Spacing smaller than this, like 600 mm (24 inches) or 500 mm (20 inches), tends to be too tight for comfortable and safe operation. A larger gap, such as 900 mm (36 inches), uses more space than typically required for most layouts.
