Ellas Bubbles: Proper Handle Installation-Outswing Doors

Ella walk-in tubs with outward swing doors require proper handle installation for correct door alignment and a waterproof seal. This video demonstrates how to install the door handle for U-shaped and L-shaped outward swing doors.

Ella walk-in tubs feature two types of outward swing doors: the U-shaped outward swing door and the L-shaped outward swing door. Both door types utilize the same door handle. Proper handle installation is vital for correct door alignment and a waterproof seal, preventing potential leaks.

The video details how to line up the tabs and place the handle onto the latch mechanism. It then shows how to insert and hand tighten the locking bolt, securing it firmly with a socket wrench. Finally, the chrome cover is attached and hand tightened. Correct final placement ensures the handle faces the hinges when locked and faces away from the hinges when unlocked.

Incorrect handle installations are also shown, which can lead to improper door closures and potential leaks. The video emphasizes the correct orientation of the handle for both locked and unlocked positions to ensure proper door function.
