Bob visits a Roxbury, Massachusetts home where a Kohler shower stall in being installed. The unit is called a free will shower. It is meant for someone who is bound to a wheelchair. It has grab bars and seats already built into the unit. It is not the everyday average shower stall. Gerry Folan, a plumber contractor, is installing a shower valve on the shower that has an anti-scald feature. The valve also has a handle on the front instead of a knob. Both of these features will assist a wheelchair bound person. Gerry also installs an air chamber adjacent to the shower valve which will stop the pipes from vibrating when shutting the water off.
