American Standard Evolution 72 x 36-Inch Deep Soak Drop-In Bathtub - AMS-7236V002

Nominal dimensions are 72 x 36 x 21-1/2 inches (1879 x 914 x 546 mm). Plan the deck opening around that 72 by 36 footprint, and note the 21-1/2 inch height when you are checking finished deck elevation and step-over.

Yes. The drain is not included, and American Standard specifies the Deep Soak Max Drain for this tub. Add it to the order with the tub so the rough-in and the deeper overflow height match, otherwise you lose the deep soak water level the tub is built for.

Both installs are supported. It is a drop-in tub by design, so the rim sits on a finished deck, but an undermount option is called out for the Evolution 72 x 36, meaning it can also be set below a stone or solid surface deck with the rim concealed. Undermount work needs the deck material cut and supported to carry the tub rim, so confirm the fabricator is building for that before you tile or template.

Not freestanding. The Evolution 72 x 36 is a drop-in, so it requires a framed and finished deck or surround to support and conceal the tub body. The bottom is pre-leveled, which saves you shimming and mortar-bed fussing, but you still have to build the enclosure and set the deck opening to the 72 x 36 footprint.

Acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement. Acrylic keeps the shell warm to the touch and repairable, and the fiberglass backing adds the stiffness that keeps a 72 inch tub from flexing underfoot. For a multi-family or hospitality refresh it also means a lighter set than cast iron, which matters when you are carrying units up a stairwell.

No jets. It is a soaking tub, acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement, with molded armrests and no pump, blower, or electrical requirement. That means no dedicated circuit, no access panel for a motor, and no GFCI to coordinate with the electrician.

Two armrests are molded into the shell, so there is nothing to bolt on and nothing to fail later. Combined with the deep soak depth, that is what makes this a bathing tub rather than a shower-over-tub, worth knowing before you spec it for a unit where the tub also serves as the shower.

White only. The orderable part number is 7236V002.020, the .020 suffix being American Standard's white. If you are standardizing tubs across a building, that keeps the match simple, but it also means there is no biscuit or linen option on this model.
