S-Class 3052, 3060 and 3655: Understanding Ella's Legacy Series

The S-Class is an earlier Ella series sold in three sizes: the 3052 (30 x 52), the 3060 (30 x 60), and the 3655 (36 x 55) for extra tall and large bathers. If you own one, the videos below are the clearest published record of its features, and support can match parts to your serial number.

The Three Models

  • 3052 and 3060: 21 in seat, wall and deck grab bars, built-in towel rack, textured floor, chrome stainless door latch.
  • 3655: 29.5 in seat, dual 2 in drains, the same grab bars and towel rack.
  • All: acrylic surface, rust-proof stainless frame with leveling legs, easy-access service panels.

3 Inch vs 6 Inch Threshold

On the 6 inch standard-threshold version the frame is raised so the drain fits beneath the tub and jets sit on the floor. On the 3 inch low-threshold version the frame is lowered, the jets are raised off the floor, and the drains require subfloor access; the 3655 low-threshold has no floor jets for that reason. Tell support which threshold you have when planning repairs.

Packages and Parts

  • Three-speed air with Auto Purge; hydro with in-line heater and intensity dial. Air came paired with hydro; an air-only 3052 was not sold.
  • Oversized 2 in drain with safety chain (dual drains on the 3655).
  • 5-piece or 2-piece fast-fill faucet with 5 ft supply lines; components plug into a dedicated GFCI outlet, which on the 3655 our team suggests placing near the seat-area rear corner.
  • Options: 4-fold screen, heated seat and backrest, head and neck pillow, seat pillow.

Specs for S-Class part numbers such as AS3655DR5P are available from support by email. For operation, the stainless inward-swing door documents are the closest current match; confirm with your serial number. If a dealer installed the tub and promised a feature that is missing, the dealer resolves that promise, since Ella's warranty covers what Ella built and shipped.

The video covers the 3052 and 3060 in the 6 inch threshold version: 21 inch seat, floor jetting, 2 inch drain with safety chain, air with Auto Purge, hydro with heater, 5 ft supply lines, and the dedicated GFCI connection.
This version shows the 3 inch threshold model, which requires subfloor access to the drains; other features match.

The 3655 video describes the 36 x 55 tub, its 29.5 inch seat, jets positioned higher because the 3 inch threshold has no floor jets, dual drains, and the subfloor access requirement.
