A 1/2 Bath consists of which fixtures?

A 1/2 Bath consists of which fixtures?

• A. Lavatory and WC
• B. Shower and tub
• C. Toilet only
• D. Bidet and urinal

Answer: (A)

A half bath is defined by having just two fixtures: a toilet and a sink. The sink is called a lavatory and the toilet is often referred to as a water closet (WC). So, a lavatory plus a WC matches a 1/2 bath. Bathing fixtures like a shower or tub would add bathing space, turning it into a full bath (or at least not a half bath). A toilet alone lacks the sink, and a bidet with a urinal isn’t a standard residential configuration and also wouldn’t include a sink.
