Just remember the tub has to fit thru the door, you can gain 2" by removing door frame.

There currently is no real door frame-- the hallway is about 34.5" but we are going to take down a wall and try to widen it.
The tubs I'm looking at are about 30" wide so they will fit even without taking walls out (back door is 36" wide).
I want a modular kit with a tub plus 3 wall pieces. The Advantage kit is 60" x 30" x 72".
Sterling wants people to use their expensive window kit, but I will probably get something larger and less expensive. Their window kit is $169.86 at lowes and $127.39 at faucet.com and build.com (Lowes will price match allegedly). It's basically some plastic that fits in the window sill (sides & bottom-- not the top). I think they said it's 8" deep. But I wonder if I can find something just as effective that is cheaper.
Hmmm. That turbo-drain thing looks pretty neat. I wonder how it connects to PVC though-- it looks like it is ABS or some other type. And does it just fit on existing overflow kits?
Editing to add: I went to the Youtube link and it looks like they might not be continuing the product? I'm not sure.
Maybe they just aren't available in the US? I don't know. Couldn't find any info about them other than people commenting on Youtube about how the url didn't work but now the url is gone. I'm guessing the company folded. But it looks like the general idea is that they have a 2-inch p-trap directly from the drain instead of having it underneath where the drain and overflow meet. I wonder if that follows code. I also wonder if it is possible to find a PVC tub shoe that goes straight down-- or finding the right sized female threaded PVC piece and a gasket to go under the tub. I wonder if going to a 2-inch p-trap would change the flow much.I see them on walk in tubs American Standard may have locked them up.
LOL. Yeah. And really, the design is simple enough that I could probably jerry-rig my own version of it out of PVC. I wonder if the reason that the P trap is under the overflow normally is because it is closer to the wall or if it is because it makes the overflow drain faster. A slow overflow drain would not stop the overflowing.I found a price so, never mind, forget I brought it up.:rofl:

point-3 Megapixel??????? Don't waste your money.I'm seriously thinking of getting something like this to explore under the house so I don't have to worry about spiders, mosquitoes, snakes, and having my brother's dog lick my nose off.

Yeah, although the footage wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Someone uploaded a video of it in action. It moved around pretty well. Video was pretty jerky.point-3 Megapixel??????? Don't waste your money.
The brick ties would have had to be installed as the bricks were being laid. I don't think they can be effectively retrofitted.
Make sure you have all the rough-in carpentry done before you measure for the new window.
Gotcha. Don't want it peeling off.Zane, remember, to much caulk is as bad as not enough...
