In what section would you specify tubs specially designed for washing bicycles and similar large recreational equipment?

Wouldn’t “tubs” be a plumbing fixture…specified by plumbing engineer, in narrow-scope (sub) section of 22 42 19? Say 22 42 19.13?

I run into this for a number of items. My rule is that if it gets “plumbed” (connecting to either water supply or waste water systems), it should properly be specified by the Mech consultant. It will probably be required to be installed by a licensed plumber in many jurisdictions.

The only exception I would make to this is that I’ve had a couple of instances where I’ve specified a lot of bicycle stuff for a project – from bike lockers, to a maintenance stand, to an air pump and a tool kit. In many cases, all of these “bike things” are provided by the same vendor/manufacturer and we want them to come from the same location. So I might create a section called “Bicycle storage and maintenance” or something like that I would coordinate the tub with the plumbing section, but otherwise keep all the bike stuff together.
