My tub is 70" long. Do you think this is too small of a shield?

Pamela, with the widest dimension of this unit being only 35", it may look small in comparison to your 70" tub. We do offer other Aqua style doors with a stationary panel that would provide more coverage and look more proportional to your opening. Try putting SHDR-3148586 in Amazon's search field. That door has an overall width of 48". If you have any other questions about the Aqua doors or other options for your 70" tub, please give DreamLine Technical Support a call at 866-731-2244. We have a helpful staff ready to answer all of your questions.

the reason we chose this door is because our tub/shower is built into the eaves of what used to be our attic in a 2nd story addition. the ceiling slants, so this door was the best fit for us. we are totally satisfied with it given our space limit, but need to kewp the shower head pointed down so that water doesn't spray out.

It is a very nice shower door, but there is some splash that comes out of the tub.not a lot but some. On a scale of 1-10' I'll give it a 7

It works fine on our 5 foot tub. I have a rain shower head and it does point down. It doesn't leak at all for us and its easy to keep clean.

The width of this shower door is 34". I installed this on our standard 5' tub, and it looks great. Some water do spash out if one isn't careful about where the shower head is pointing, but overall, it's been functionally sound for us.

It might be. For a 70" inch tub, you might want to look for a door with an additional glass panel like this one: AquaLux 48 in. Frameless Hinged Tub Door, Chrome Finish

Installed two of these on 60" tubs and my adult children have complained that too much water splashes out. We had to hang a show curtain up over one of the doors to stop the mess. If your home is on the market, young buyers are thrilled with the look of these doors, however, their practicality is another question.

It is adequate size ..my problem was the suction cups slipped off off the tub surface.Hope you have better luck...

Probably not. It's just a regular size shower curtain. My tub is 5 feet across and it fits with very little extra.

If your tub is 17 inches wide you should not have much of a problem. With a flange around the soft rubber caps on the legs it is 18 inches wide but if you need to you could cut the flange off to fit the tub .BTW the only assembly I had to do was to slide the seat back into place and boy is this thing sturdy.

I don't know anything about that tub. The stems are 4 " center, if the holes in the tub are in that neighborhood you should be ok.

It was for my daughter. I think her tub is approx. that size. However, there was still room for expansion. I found it to be most helpful.

My shield is similar in size. It does sit a little to deep in the pocket for a rapid deployment. I sewed mine to make the pocket more shallow. No complaints.

There would have to be some sort of a ledge (of greater than 2") in order for this to stay over the tub. It definitely needs support on both sides.

yes to all questions. Make sure you have someone set it up to fit your tub.Have someone that has used one to give you instruction on how to use it safely.you wll love it Norma

My tub was actually up against the wall. You may have to put some type of spacer in between the mounts and the wall.

I agree with both Beth and Laura. The better fit for this is in a shower with a flat drain and floor. Unless you have a large tub this wouldn't work. Try using searching for the smaller drain protector for tubs, which they have on Amazon.

It is 72" x 72" you would have to measure how much area you have to cover and how full you want it to be, is it one side of the tub or all the way around? If it is one side one would be sufficient.

If your tub has a very flat surface, it should be fine. If the inner edge is beveled, I don't think it would be as supportive due to shere the support bars to the handle would be positioned. My tub is 4.5 and the base of the support bars is off center and very close to the beveled edge. I wouldn't want it any closer. it's a wonderful devise and very reliable. Hope you can find a way to use it safely.

I'm guessing your shower supply pipe must be a little higher than most. I installed two of these and the main shower head and the wand are 74 inches from the bottom of the tub. It works fine for my wife who is 5'6." It is a great shower head so I'd still consider it, even if you need to add a bath-friendly stem of some kind.

I assume the claw foot tub is metal so the main question is whether the device will fit over the edge of the tub. You have about 41/2" in total width. If the top edge curves over you should be able to put a wooden block underneath the curved edge on the outside to act as a shim so that you can tighten the safety bar. Hope this will work for you.

I respectfully disagree with all of the previous responses. I had the same exact question/concern when I purchased this unit and I found that it works fine with only 1" of clearance between the edge of the tub and the wall. My response is based on an actual measurement and usage.

The shield is slotted for 7-7/8 to 8-7/8 inch diameter bowls. A quick measurement of your bowl's diameter will tell if it will work for you.
