This is the measuring checklist to fill in before your walk-in tub is ordered: the bather, the path in, the alcove, the door side and the utilities, one line per measurement. Print it, walk the house with a tape, and bring the list to your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.

How to Use This Page

Write every figure in inches at the tightest point, with door stops and trim in place. Two sizes matter: the actual size on the spec sheet, which sits in the alcove, and the shipping size, which travels through the house. Never rely on the rounded name: the Elite's actual size is 30 x 52 x 35 inches, so its passage must be wider than 30 inches, and the Petite is 27.5 inches wide.

The Bather

• ☐ Hip width, seated, at the widest point: ______ in (the seat must be wider than this)
• ☐ Shoulder width, seated: ______ in
• ☐ Seated length, head to feet, relaxed: ______ in
• ☐ Compare with the drawings in seat sizes and soaking depth
