American Standard Evolution 60 x 32-Inch Deep Soak Drop-In Bathtub - AMS-2422V002

Careful here. The Evolution Deep Soak is nominally 60 x 32 inches, but the actual tub measures 62.75 inches long and 34.75 inches wide, because a drop-in has a finished rim that overhangs the deck cutout. Frame the deck opening to the tub body, not to the 60 x 32 nominal, and plan for the rim to land on the deck. A 60-inch alcove with finished walls on three sides will not take it as a drop-in.

Yes, it is built for both. The Evolution Deep Soak is a drop-in tub with an undermount option, so it can sit under a stone or solid-surface deck with the slab overhanging the tub rim rather than resting on top of it. Either way you are building a deck or platform for it, since there is no apron or finished skirt on this tub.

The Deep Soak Max drain is required and it is a separate order. The Evolution Deep Soak tub does not ship with a drain or an overflow trim, and a standard-height bath waste will not give you the soaking depth the tub is built around, which is why American Standard specifies the Deep Soak Max for it. Get it on the same purchase order as the tub so the rough plumbing is set before the deck closes up.

It has a pre-leveled tub bottom, so it seats flat on a level subfloor or platform without a mortar bed or shim pack to find level. That is the install time you save with this tub. Still check the platform for level before you set it, since a pre-leveled bottom only helps on a flat surface.

American Standard classifies the Evolution Deep Soak as a residential product and puts it in its luxury tier. For a single-family remodel or an owner's unit it is the right fit. For a high-turnover apartment or hospitality spec where you are standardizing dozens of openings, a residential-classified acrylic drop-in is not what that program normally calls for, and a drop-in also needs a deck built at every opening, which adds labor per unit compared to an apron tub.

Dual armrests are molded into the shell, one on each side, formed as part of the acrylic rather than bolted on. They narrow the usable bathing well relative to the 34.75 inch outside width, which matters if you are comparing interior space against a flat-wall soaker of the same footprint.

White only, ordered as American Standard part number 2422V002.020. The .020 suffix is the white finish code. Since a drop-in is trimmed out with a separately ordered drain and filler, match those to white or to whatever metal finish the rest of the room uses, rather than expecting them in the box.
