so how much clearance on the SIDE of the tub is needed for the bar?

The side only needs enough clearance for the bars to not rub the tub. The back needs about 18 inches for the cover to swing out and then down. Very happy with my Rock it. Mike

Agree with S.W. Just went out and measured it and its a little less than 8 inches. Installation of this device was very difficult and the instructions are worthless. We had to adjust it for the size of the spa (we have a large DimensionOne spa, and actually had to design a trench where the "feet" of the two rocker arms can go below our patio brickwork to totally lift off cover. It's the best device out there but you will have to spend some time installing it and adjusting the company's installation measurements to fit your spa's make, model and size. Good luick. gary

Only about 3"....or about the same width as the bar. The bar is attached to two plates on either side of the hot tub that slide underneath (you just tap them under with a mallet or hammer). This is the same bar as the one that originally came with my tub. It works great. Once you flip it over in half, be careful that you don't just flip the whole thing over hard on the second flip or you'll bend the rocker arms. Just be gentle on the final removal flip.

On the sides, I would say approximately 4 inches of clearance is needed AT MOST. The tubing is approx. 1.5 inches and you would probably want an inch or so of space between the tubing and the hot tub.

You will need minimum of 4 inches on each side. For my cover about 18 inch minimum on back. One of the best investments I have made. Works awesome.

We have had our cover rock-it for a few months now, and use it regularly. There is maybe 2 or three inches clearance on either side. Makes things SOOO much easier.

No, the tub wall has to be a minimum of 3" thick for the grab bar to clamp onto a straight surface.

I would assume less than half an inch (very small space between bars). At most, possibly 1/2 an inch.

While our setup is not like yours, I'm sure the device would work well. If you have a jacuzzi, you'd better measure the side of the tub to make sure it's not too wide for the bar to clamp on. If the side of your tub where the bar will be clamped is fiberglass, you really have to be careful tightening so as not to crack the fiberglass.

The rod can be bent and straighted as you lower it into the water heater. Therefore you don't need much clearance. I had 24", but you could get by with much less.

Only the top bar, the side bars only stick a little, or a lot depending on your tub. I love it!

The height of clearance from attachment surface to underside of handle is according to the vendor, where they state: Product Dimensions: 12 x 3 x 4 inches which I would interpret as length, width and height of the unit. (Fits any tub/shower. 12 inches long. Each suction foot is 3 inches in diameter. Handle is 1 inch wide for easy gripping.) This means you should have between 2-1/2" to 3" of clearance.

Each side is a little over 1"... So it will need a little over 1" in clearance inside the tank.

Don't understand what you mean by "height" from where. Bottom of tub or shower?

The width of the legs from side to side is 27" so, unless you have a huge bathtub, one side of the Booster Bath will have to remain outside. I would recommend putting the back end in your tub since that's the side with the drain hole.

3 feet for smooth clearance, but you can squeeze it into 2 feet. Two people on each side, or one from inside the spa. Closing would pose the same problem. It is easiest to have 5 feet and pull the spa open and Push it closed from outside by One person.

I'm not certain what you mean by how wide. Do you mean the length or the thickness or the height of thee bar? the height is about one inch, the thickness about 1/4 inch and the length is variable according to the curvature but the length of the average bathtub when installed. Hope that helps.

It is a very sturdy bar about one inch. I have three of them in the shower. Just make sure it is installed in a sturdy manner use a Molly if possible.

Requires only 6"-8" clearance behind your Hot Tub (depends on your spa covers center thickness when folded) and about 2 inches on the sides.

Assuming that you want to know if it will fit in your tub(?), I measured from the outside edge of the leg to outside edge of leg Front: 15 1/2 " back 16"

Well, there is enough clearance for the top bar, but when we assembled the cabinet, we left off the bottom bar, then put the unit behind the toilet, and then we attached the bottom bar. You had to be rather 'agile' to install the last bar, but we did it.

For my tub the rod was 1.5 inches short for the dry wall opening above the tub/shower. For me installing the unit with a 1"x4" piece of hard wood on each side as a spacer will work. The wood is actually 0.75" thick so it makes up for the rod being short and gives a firmer surface to attach to.
