American Standard 2774018WC.020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What rough opening do I need to frame for the American Standard Cadet 72 x 42 drop-in whirlpool tub?
The Cadet drop-in measures 75.75 inches long by 46.25 inches wide by 28.25 inches high overall, so frame the deck cutout and surround off those outside dimensions rather than the nominal 72 x 42 bathing well. The extra length and width over the nominal size is the flange and rim that sits on the deck framing.
2) Does this American Standard Cadet whirlpool need a hardwired electrical connection?
No hardwiring. The pump comes with a factory installed power cord and plug, so the electrician provides a GFCI protected receptacle in an accessible location under the deck instead of a junction box and whip. Plan an access panel so the receptacle and the single speed pump/motor can be reached later.
3) Is this Cadet tub a drop-in or an alcove tub with a finished apron?
It is a drop-in. The Cadet 72 x 42 has no finished skirt or apron, so it has to be set into a deck or platform that you build and finish. If the bathroom has a three-wall alcove and you do not want to build a surround, a skirted alcove tub is the right product instead.
4) Where does the tub filler and valve mount on the Cadet 72 x 42 drop-in?
Not on the tub body. This is a drop-in with a dual accessory deck area, meaning the flat deck surfaces at the ends are intended for the filler, handles and any air control, so the valve and spout get deck mounted and drilled to your trim's spread. Choose a deck mount filler set, not a wall or freestanding floor filler.
5) How many jets does the Cadet EverClean hydromassage system have and is the pump variable speed?
Eight jets, driven by a single speed pump and motor. There is no variable speed control, so the massage intensity is set by the jet adjustment rather than at the pump. The EverClean surface treatment is on the system to inhibit growth inside the circulation path.
6) Does this tub need to be set in mortar or on a leveled bed?
The Cadet drop-in has a pre-leveled tub bottom, so the shell is made to sit flat on a level, supported deck base without a mortar bed being required to establish level. Support the bottom fully and shim the deck framing, not the tub.
7) What color and model number do I order for the Cadet 72 x 42 drop-in whirlpool?
It is built in white only, and the manufacturer part number to quote is 2774018WC.020, the .020 suffix being the white finish code. There is no other color offered on this configuration.
8) Is the American Standard Cadet hydromassage tub suitable for a hotel or multi-family project?
It is classified as a residential product in the Cadet family, so it is specified for homes and residential units rather than commercial washroom duty. For hospitality guest baths in a residential-style unit it is a common choice, but institutional and heavy commercial specs usually call for a commercially rated bathing fixture.
9) Is this Cadet tub comfortable for a long soak, or is it a plain shell?
The shell is contoured: a form-fitted back rest plus molded-in armrests with elbow supports are part of the acrylic body, so the bather is supported without a separate pillow accessory. That contouring also means the tub has a defined head end, so orient it to put the backrest away from the drain end you plumb.
