Ella Monaco 32x52: Wide Seat Outward-Swing Tub

Updated September 2026

The Ella Monaco 32x52 is the wide-seat walk-in tub in our U-shape outward-swing door family, with a 22.5 to 23 inch seat, a 26 inch shoulder width, and about 42 inches of usable interior. Its technical drawings show an overall length of 51 3/4 inches, a width of 31 3/4 inches, and a height of 39 1/4 inches, with a 3 5/8 inch threshold and a door that swings outward 165 degrees. It is the roomy middle-ground tub for larger bathers who are not tall, and its frame is large enough to carry three therapy systems.

Dimensions

  • Length 51 3/4 in; width 31 3/4 in; height 39 1/4 in; seat-back height 35 3/8 in; backrest 101 degrees.
  • Door 19 1/2 in wide with a 19 1/4 in opening; allow about 21 in of floor in front for the swing.
  • Seat 22.5 in (manual) to 23 in (video), 16 in long, 26 in shoulder width, about 42 in of usable interior.
  • The team asks for at least a 32 in doorway; with 30 in doors, the Capri is the same design one size down.

The capacity and weight lines on the Monaco spec sheet are printed as images, so use the product page for those figures. Staff estimate roughly 50 to 85 gallons occupied depending on bather size. For seat and soaking figures across the line, see seat sizes and soaking depth.

Therapy Packages

Soaking, Hydro, Air + Hydro, Hydro + Independent Foot, Hydro + Microbubble, and on this wider frame Air + Hydro + Microbubble. Our team confirms the triple package on the Royal, Monaco, and Transfer32; anything beyond that is a special build, so describe your alcove and wishes before ordering. The full menu by model is in therapy combinations by model.

  • Three-speed air with Auto Purge; hydro with intensity dial, ozone, and in-line heater; LED chromatherapy with dual packages; optional heated seat.
  • Digital controller: not always listed online, so ask your Ella dealer or the team to process the add-on for your package by phone.

Included Features

  • White PVC composite and tempered glass door, 3-latch lock, deck and sidewall grab bars, textured floor.
  • 5-piece fast-fill faucet with 5 ft supply lines; a 2-piece brushed nickel set can be substituted.
  • Dual 2 in drains; one reversible end panel (an extra end panel is available, no back panel); extension panel available for 60 in alcoves.

The Monaco on Video

The video shows the 23 inch seat, 16 inch seat length, 26 inch shoulder width, 42 inch interior, 21 inch outswing clearance, 5-piece faucet, air with Auto Purge, hydro with heater, foot jets, chromatherapy, the optional heated seat, ozone, and dual drains.

Door and Installation Notes

The Monaco shares its door with the Capri, Front Entry, Mobile, Lounger, ShaK, and Big4One: a plastic-composite and tempered glass door that swings outward 165 degrees and locks with a 3-latch gear-and-shaft mechanism. How to close and lock it is covered in outward-swing U-shape door operation. Because there is no back panel, the long back side goes against a wall or a built knee wall; both short ends can be exposed with a second end panel. The Monaco and Capri can both sit with only the back against the wall in a corner layout.

Common Questions

Is the Monaco 42 inches tall?
Older answers say 42 inches; the current technical drawing shows 39 1/4 inches, and the drawing governs.
Is the Monaco built in left and right versions?
Yes, both are built; the product photo shows one side. See choosing left or right hand for how the sides are named.
Can the Monaco have air, hydro, and microbubble together?
Yes. Air + Hydro + Microbubble is offered on the Monaco. Adding independent foot massage on top of that means four pumps, which is a special build; describe your alcove and wishes to your Ella dealer or the team before ordering.
What is the Monaco seat width?
22.5 inches on the manual and 23 inches in the video, with 16 inches of seat length and 26 inches of shoulder width. It is one of the widest seats on a 52 inch tub.
Does the Monaco fit a 60 inch alcove?
Yes. An extension panel is available to bridge the gap between the 52 inch tub and a 60 inch opening; see extension panels and filler kits.
How wide a doorway does the Monaco need?
Our team asks for at least a 32 inch doorway. If your doors are 30 inches, the Capri is the same design one size down.
Can the Monaco be installed with both ends exposed?
Yes, with an extra end panel. There is no cover for the long back side, so the back must sit against a wall or a built knee wall.
Can I order the Monaco with a digital controller?
Yes, though it is not always listed online. Ask your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 to add it to your package.
Is the Monaco available as a soaker?
Yes. Soaking is on the package menu, with no jets and no jet holes; see soaking-only walk-in tubs.
Do I need tile around the Monaco?
No. Many owners use wall surrounds or acrylic panels instead of tile; tile is a design choice rather than a requirement.
