Planning Department Curbless Guidelines Question
I bought a Tile Redi barrier free pan, not yet installed. The city’s building inspector is saying there is an issue with the pan meeting code. The main issues are that the top of the drain inlet must be 2” minimum below the “top of the dam” meaning the floor level. And that the pan has to hold 9.6 gallons of water- "The finished shower receptor shall be capable of containing a minimum of 9.6 gallons above the top of the drain inlet without spilling over the finished shower threshold.” I did a test and the pan only holds about 6 gallons and the drain is not 2" deep.
Tile Redi told me the pan is up to all codes and there is no problem. I am confused.

Nothing like some 15-year-old handwritten guidelines to stop you in your tracks. Have never heard of that code. I've made dozens of pans. Not really sure how to help you. Maybe a corresponding section in the TCNA book could help
