Darren Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Does anyone know if it's required to have an operable 'window' on top of a shower door when a steam unit is present in the shower. I've usually seen them present except for yesterday's inspection. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am in WA State and have a steam shower. No openable window above the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm pretty sure there's no requirement for an operable transom. Are you saying the door went all the way to the ceiling or there was a space above the door without a transom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another interesting geographical variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Hockstein Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Not a requirement. Often an option for those that want to ventilate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 The door went all the way to the ceiling. Thank you gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 A little off topic, but I saw a basement fitted with a glass-blocked in steam room (inoperable at the time). In the same big basement room was one of those boxes I only saw once on I Love Lucy, that is made of plywood with a hinged top. You sit inside with your head sticking through a round hole in the top. Inside are a whole lot of light bulbs that are supposed to melt off the pounds, I guess? Muy retro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried one of those once at the Steam n Cream - what we called the oriental bath/massage concession - on Camp Red Cloud back in the 1970s. She filled a coffee can up half full of water, dropped in one of those old fashioned cup warmers that looks like a question mark, wrapped my neck with a towel and shut that door. In about five minutes I learned what it was like to be some vegetables getting steamed on top of the stove. The next part was much better.....[:I] ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!
