Hello,
I'm planning a bath room remodel and I'm trying to determine which tub I can use. I'd like to install a Kohler cast iron whirlpool (Mendota model) in a three wall alcove. Due to the layout of the room I can only have one access panel. The motor is located at the the end opposite the drain. Do I need an access panel for the plumbing? Do I need (by code, I'm in Los Angeles) an access panel for the motor? The wall that abuts the area where the bath tub will be contains a built in linen closet with a set of drawers on the bottom half. Theoretically you'd be able to remove the drawers and ,if I remove the existing wall, access the motor if needed. It'd be a tight squeeze, but possible. Does any one have any thoughts?
My other option would be to use an acrylic tub with a removable front panel, though if possible I'd rather use cast iron.
Thanks for your help,
Matt
