Install toilets in place of showers

Asked Jul 19, 2006, 08:50 PM — 1 Answer
I am looking at turning an old tanning salon into a preschool center. I need to install at least two additional toilets and get rid of four shower stalls. Can the toilets be installed in place of the showers?

The showers are probably connected to two inch pipe, for a commode you must have at least three inch pipe. So if you can rip out the floors enough to get to the mainline it can be plumbed for commodes.
