Rane walk-in tubs
Rane Bathing Systems builds walk-in tubs in Sparta, Tennessee, where it has manufactured since 1997, and calls its tubs 100% made in the USA. Rane makes residential tubs and professional healthcare tubs, and its healthcare engineering (thermostatic mixing valves, disinfection systems, high weight ratings) carries into the home models.
Two Rane models we can tell you about in detail
- RK12 Winnipeg: an outward-swinging-door transfer tub rated for a 600 lb occupant, 48 gallons at overflow, with a built-in disinfectant system and factory-installed air spa. Full RK12 specs.
- RR7 Atlantic: a transition/transfer tub with an upward-swinging door, a contoured reclining seat, a recline feature to cut the chill while it fills, battery backup and a built-in disinfectant system. Designed for transfers from a wheelchair, walker or lift.
Who should look at Rane
Rane is worth a look when the bather is a larger adult, uses a wheelchair or lift, or shares the tub with others in the home (the disinfecting cycle is a real plus there). Rane's residential range also includes inward and outward door styles, compact sizes and bariatric options.
Built to healthcare codes
Rane's spec sheets list compliance with CSA B45.5 / ANSI Z124 for plastic plumbing fixtures, ASME A112.19.7M for whirlpool bathtub appliances, ASME A112.19.8M for suction fittings and UL 1795 for hydromassage bathtubs.

Two ways to buy a Rane tub
Rane tubs are heavy, engineered pieces (the RK12 weighs about 905 lb with a bather and water), so White Glove makes sense for most homes. Contractors who have set transfer tubs before can buy Supply Only and lean on our tech line for the rough-in and electrical.
