One of the biggest problems with installing walk-in bathtubs is their large size and swing diameter.  This is the dimension from corner to corner of a walk-in bathub.

In the photo you will see that the tub CANNOT be installed in this size bathroom because there is not enough room to swing the tub into place.

One of the biggest problems with installing walk-in bathtubs is their large size and swing diameter.  This is the dimension from corner to corner of a walk-in bathub.

Many bathrooms are 59" from wall to wall limiting the size of a walk-in bathtub that can be installed.

Getting the walk-in bathtub into the bathroom can also be an issue depending on the bathroom door width.  For example, a 28" door can be removed from the hinges leaving a 27" opening due to the door stop moldings.  If a 28" door and the door frame are both removed, the resulting opening should be 30" minimum.  This is adequate for most of our walk-in bathtubs.  If you have a bathroom door less than 28" which is common on older homes, you will probably have to order a 26" wide walk-in bathtub (Model #: 2652).

Minimum recomended water heater is a 40 gallon to fufill the needs of a walk-in bathtub.

For jetted walk-in bathtubs, the electrical required is a dedicate 20 amp GFI circuit.
