NKBA Bathroom Planning Guidelines
GHI stocks replacement parts for Delta® faucets, which are considered standard plumbing items.
Simple improvements such as replacing cabinets, resurfacing the floor, and replacing the toilet and/or sink do not need a GHI permit. Other improvements such as replacing the existing tub, installing a shower stall are considered minor improvements by GHI rules §X.B/55, and do not require a GHI permit, provided that no change to the hard piping (water supply and waste drain) or electrical is involved. However, since a report of work performed under the blanket approval be submitted to the Technical Services Office for permanent record and for member protection in the event of fire loss, and since it would be a benefit to both the member and the cooperative to have GHI maintenance staff inspect and/or repair as necessary the explosed plumbing and electrical utilities within the wall while it is accessible, GHI encourages the filing of a Type II permit for these instances.
