The 2747 is 47 inches long and 27 inches wide. Measure the alcove length, width and the narrowest doorway on the path to the bathroom, then send us the numbers. Extension panels close the gap in a standard 60-inch alcove, and we confirm fit before you order.
The tub stands 37 inches high, so water reaches the chest of a seated bather rather than the waist. If you have a 40-gallon water heater, ask us about fill times.
No. Hydro and air systems are plumbed into the shell at the factory, so choose your therapy package when you order. Heated seat, chromatherapy and aromatherapy are chosen at the same time.
No. We ship supply-only anywhere in the U.S. and Canada (free shipping to the lower 48 on many models, freight quoted for Canada) and you keep the factory warranty when the tub is installed to specification, and Meditub is a strong choice for contractors who want a proven acrylic tub at a sharp price. Or our factory-certified installers handle everything, usually in one day.
Choosing between door styles can feel confusing at first. However, once you understand the tradeoffs, the right option becomes clearer.
This guide explains side & front entry walk in tubs in plain language. It also shows when side entry models may be a better fit.
In many cases, the bathrooms configuration will be one of the greatest determining factors. Besides for the bathroom layout, what do you prefer? Modifications can almost always be made to a bathroom. We encourage you to choose a walk in bath based on your mobility needs, safety and personal preference above all. A front entry walk in bath isn’t always a great fit for everyone. They typically will have an outward swinging door so you must make certain there is enough space in the bathroom to accommodate this. Side entry tubs can possibly help save on space and are going to have a footprint more similar to a traditional 30” x 60” bathtub. Which style is right for you?
Absolutely yes, all of Aging Safely’s walk in tubs can be equipped with air hydrotherapy or whirlpool water hydrotherapy. Many of our customers choose to do both styles of jetting. They can be ran simultaneously or at separate times. Get the hydrotherapy that is just right for you without spending too much money.

Handicapped tubs with side entry or front entry can be a good fit for commercial and residential applications.
Door direction is not just a design detail. It changes how you move in the bathroom. For example, an outward swinging door can be easier to open. At the same time, it needs open floor space in front of the tub. Therefore, measuring clearance is a must. Even a few inches can change your best option.
Before you purchase front entry walk in tubs, it helps to check a few things.
First, look at the toilet location and the vanity. Then, consider where you stand when you open the door.
Finally, think about where a caregiver might need to stand.
If you are planning an accessible bathroom, also think about the floor outside the tub. A non-slip surface, proper lighting, and a reachable towel hook can reduce slips. For general fall-prevention guidance, you can review the CDC’s information on older adult falls here: CDC fall prevention resources.
People often ask, “Which is safer?” In reality, both can be safe when installed correctly.
However, the better question is, “Which will be easier for me to use every day?”
That is where the differences matter most.
| Feature | Front Entry Walk In Tubs | Side Entry Walk In Tubs |
|---|---|---|
| Door clearance needs | Often needs more open space in front | May fit tighter layouts more easily |
| Typical footprint feel | Can vary by model | Often closer to a traditional tub layout |
| Best for | Bathrooms with clear floor space and straightforward entry path | Bathrooms with tighter door swing areas |
| Hydrotherapy option | Yes (air and/or water jetting) | Yes (air and/or water jetting) |
This is a simple way to think about clearance. It is not medical advice. It is just a fast planning tool.
In general, more open space in front of the door makes front entry walk in tubs easier to use.
Hydrotherapy can feel like a luxury, yet it is also a practical comfort upgrade.
For example, warm water jets may help you relax after a long day. Air bubbles can feel gentle and soothing.
Additionally, many people like the option to run each system at different times.
