    HI Spark...

    I can probably talk you through this, but I have to first ask you what do you plan to do in the future if the faucet leaks or needs to be replaced?

    Are you absolutley sure you can't reorient the tub?

    Back to you...

    Thanks Mark,
    We will look at re-orienting the tub.
    Thanks for getting back to us.

    That looks like a jetted tub. You must also have access to pump and motor.

    No I should have specified that we are getting the non-jetted version.

    OK,
    This would be a bit unusual, but is it possible to have an access panel from the exterior?
