[Peter W. Bennett]

Is there a required shower door size, i.e., minimum 24 inches wide?

Depends on the "width" of the client.

I thought I heard a greased pig could slip in any opening.

Like a sauna, a shower door should open outward for safety reasons.

I guess you got in the shower to test this one...

I am a bean pole, so entry/exit was not a problem. Opens outward.
It's new construction, so I was concerned, and recommended review of the plans, etc, etc, etc.

Richard M was close--there is no door minimum, but the maximum user size is directly proportional to the entry opening.
