Shower compartments and walls above bathtubs must have a smooth, nonabsorbent surface finished to what height above the drain inlet?

  1. 48 inches

  2. 60 inches

  3. 72 inches

  4. 84 inches

The correct answer is: 72 inches

Shower compartments and walls above bathtubs must have a finished surface that is smooth and nonabsorbent to a height of 72 inches above the drain inlet. This requirement is in place to ensure that the surfaces can be easily cleaned and maintained, as these areas are frequently exposed to water and moisture. Ensuring a nonabsorbent surface helps to prevent mold and mildew growth, which can compromise hygiene and the structural integrity of the building over time. The specified height is designed to accommodate standard shower heights and typical water spray patterns, providing adequate protection against water damage.
