Will a Walk-In Tub Fit?
Measure the space where the tub will go and the narrowest doorway on the way in.
- Compact (40 to 48 long, 26 to 32 wide): the smallest of these fits
- Standard (52 to 60 long, 28 to 32 wide): the smallest of these fits
- Wide (bariatric) (53 to 60 long, 32 to 36 wide): too big for the space
- Two-person (60 to 80 long, 32 to 36 wide): too big for the space
