American Standard Aspirations 60 x 30-Inch Single Threshold Shower Base With Left-Hand Drain - AMS-A8019T-LHO

The drain is on the left-hand end, which is what the LHO in A8019T-LHO.020 designates. Orientation is called out standing outside the shower looking in, so if your waste rough-in sits to the right as you face the opening you need the right-hand drain version instead. Drain location is not field-changeable on a one-piece acrylic base, so this has to match the rough plumbing before the base goes in.

The Aspirations base has an integral 3-sided tile and water retention flange, so tile or a surround panel laps over the flange on the two end walls and the back wall and drains back into the pan. No add-on flange kit is needed. The open side is the threshold side, which stays exposed for the door or curtain.

Yes, 60 x 30 inches matches the footprint of a standard alcove tub, so the Aspirations base drops into the same three-wall alcove. Two things still have to line up: the waste has to be on the left as you face the opening for the LHO version, and tub drains sit at one end while this base wants its trap under the left drain location, so expect to reposition the trap. Aspirations bases are also made in 60 x 32, 60 x 36 and 48 x 36 if your alcove is deeper.

Leveling feet are built into the base, so you adjust it at each foot rather than shimming or bedding the whole pan. That is the main reason this one goes in faster than a cast base on a remodel where the floor has moved. Set the feet, check level across both directions and confirm the drain outlet still lines up with the trap before fastening the flange to the studs.

The Aspirations pan is high-quality acrylic that American Standard rates stain and chip resistant, and the floor is textured for slip resistance rather than relying on an applied coating that wears off. Acrylic also repairs more easily than porcelain-on-steel if a tenant drops something in it, which is why it is a common turn-over choice in apartments.

The cover is white to match the glossy white pan, so the drain reads as part of the floor instead of a chrome dot. White is the only finish this base is built in, under part number A8019T-LHO.020. If a client wants a metal-finish strainer to pick up the trim in the rest of the bath, that is a separate cover and not what ships with this pan.

It does. The glossy white finish is specified to complement the Aspirations bath collection, so if you are standardizing a unit or a floor of units on Aspirations fixtures the pan reads the same white as the rest. That matters on repeat work where a replacement pan has to look identical to the ones already installed.
