These supply pipes 34 and 3,6 extend downwardly through the sub-floor where they are end of the base-structure as viewed in Figs. 1. the rizht end of the platform or base structure a transverse structural member, preferably of channel section as sho is provided with an opening 48 through which access may be had the removable plug n for cleaning. Th1 3 opening is closed by'a removable panel or cover plate I! which may be secured to by attaching elements such as screws 48.
' In the main compartment 23 a water closet is mounted on the sub-floor, preferably above the reinforcing members is and 2|, andconnected to a seal 52. In order to reduce the special. requirements for this fixture, a-flush tank 53 is mounted on the end wall l4 nearthe ceiling and equipped with a hand chain 54 and a-discharge pipe 56 which extends along the wall M and is connected to the-water closet. A wash-stand or 'bowl 51 is mounted on the adjacent the shower compartment, and has its drain connected through a suitable seal 58 to the discharge pipe 59 which extends downwardly through the sub-floor whereit is connected by an elbow 6| to the pipe 62 which extends to the left end of the base structure as viewed in Fig. 1. Hot and cold water for the wash-stand is supplied through the pipes 63 and 64 connected to T connections 65 and 65' in the water supply pipes 34 and 35' and to the faucets 65 and 61 of the wash-stand or bowl.
At the left end of the platform or base structure, as viewed in Fig. 1,a transverse structural member 68, similar to the member 44, extends beneath the floor and to the end wall H, and is provided with an opening through which the water supply pipes and the various drain and waste pipes may pass. Outside the member 68 a fitting 69 has connections 1| and 12 respectively and 3; 'and this fitting also to the waste pipes 62 has a connection 13 to the seal 52 of the water closet. This fitting 69 is adapted to be connected to the soil pipe ll of the building and also to the vent pipe 16. Any suitable connection (not shown) may be passed through the same opening in the member 68 for replenishing the water; supconnections thereto.

It will be observed that the platform or base structure provides in effect a housing for external pipes and fittings, and thereby affords protection to these members during handling and transportation of the unit. It will also be seen that once this unitary structure is set in its intended location in a building, the only plumbing work required is that of connecting the. fitting 69 to the soil pipe and to the vent pipe of the building and also connecting the water supply pipes 34' and 36 to the proper pipes in the: building.
