The walk in tub shell of the Elite is constructed with premium acrylic in a white glossy finish, supported by a stainless-steel frame with adjustable leveling legs, and reinforced with fiberglass gel coat layers. The nonporous acrylic surface is easy to clean and impermeable to mold and mildew. A textured floor, low step-in threshold, one deck and one wall mounted U-shape stainless steel grabs in a chrome finish, enhance your safety and allow quick and safe entry and exit in and out of the tub.
This standard size walk-in tub measures at 30”W x 52”L and has a spacious 22” wide seat. The Elite’s main feature is the door which is made from beautiful, custom brushed stainless steel with a frosted tempered glass window to give it a sleek, contemporary look. The door is 16 ½” wide, and swings into the tub to allow the bathers to easily enter and exit the tub without being in the way of other bathroom fixtures such as a toilet or vanity. These inward swing doors are also easier to close once inside the walk-in tub. The extended stainless steel door lever was uniquely designed to bypass the bathers’ leg when locking and unlocking the door in a seated position. The lever lock, along with the door gasket, creates a secure and watertight door seal, providing you with a safe, leak-free bathing experience. Another key feature available on all Ella inward-swing door models, is our patented detachable 360° swivel tray.
The Elite comes with one of the best and exclusive features: Dual Drain Technology, consisting of two independent 2” gravity driven drains with four 2” outlets, 2 overflows and 2 drain openers, allowing for a fast and reliable drainage. 2 caps are also included to cover up to 2 of 4 ports if needed. The 2” drain outlets can be connected to the standard 1 ½” house drain with a T or Y fitting and piping provided by a professional plumber. It is suggested to connect all 4 outlets to the house drain for the fastest drainage possible. Typical drainage time is approximately +/- 80 seconds for this standard size tub within ideal in-home plumbing conditions. Ella gravity driven dual drains are fast and reliable because they do not require an electric pump, whereas electrical driven drains may fail due to electrical shorts or power outages.
This model also includes one reversible end panel for left or right corner installation options. The reversible end panel is used to cover the end of the tub that is exposing the walk-in tub shell. An additional end panel can be ordered if your tub will be installed against the wall with both ends exposed.
