A conduit housing a water line, a control line, and an electrical line is mounted on the frame's outer surface. The conduit includes means for interfacing water, control, and electricity lines of the conduit with those of equipment panels requiring water, control, or electricity for operation. The frame may further have installed thereon a tub comprising rear, side, front, and door panels, the rear and side panels being mounted to receptacles at the tub region of said frame. In one embodiment, the tub includes a door that is pivotable between a first open position, a first closed position defining a full-sized bathtub, a second open position, and a second closed position defining a half-size bathtub.
