American Standard Gelcoat Premium Series 32 x 52 -Inch Walk-in Tub With Air Spa System - Right-Hand Drain With Faucet - AMS-3252OD.109.AR

Right hand. The door, the drain, and the faucet deck mount are all on the right side of the bath as you face it. American Standard also builds this 32 x 52 gelcoat walk-in tub in a left hand door/drain configuration, so if your plumbing rough-in is on the left you need that version instead, not this one.

Plan the alcove around the actual outside dimensions, not the nominal 32 x 52: this tub measures 54 inches long, 34 inches wide, and 45 inches high. The door swings outward, so you also need clear floor space in front of the tub for the door to open fully before anyone steps in.

No extra plumbing for the drain. The patented Quick Drain is built in and pumps the water out of the tub in under 2 minutes once it is activated, so the door can be opened safely. You still need a supply and waste connection plus power for the heated blower that runs the air system.

A premium fast-fill faucet is included on this model, along with a handheld showering wand, a neck rest, and a polished chrome drain, overflow and safety grab bar. Nothing additional to source for the deck. Note that American Standard sells gelcoat walk-in tubs both with and without the faucet, so confirm you are ordering the faucet version if you do not want to supply your own.

The door is a full-sized, watertight full-transfer door with a low threshold, and the seat is at chair height, contoured for easier sitting and standing. A built-in safety grab bar and a textured bath floor reduce slip risk. That combination is what makes side transfer practical, but the door swings outward, so the bathroom needs clear floor in front of it.

Usually yes, with a filler. At 54 inches long by 34 inches wide, this tub is shorter than a standard 60 inch alcove tub, so you will have roughly six inches of wall to close in at one end, and it is wider than a typical 30 or 32 inch tub, which can pull the apron out past the old framing. Confirm the drain is on the right, since this configuration puts the drain, door, and faucet deck on the right hand side.

This is an air system, not a whirlpool. 26 air jets fed by a variable speed heated blower push thousands of small bubbles through the water for an effervescent, full-body massage that encourages circulation, rather than the concentrated pressure stream a water jet delivers. An automatic purge cycle clears the air channels after use to keep the system clean. If a buyer wants targeted high-pressure massage, an air-only tub is the wrong choice.

Two: White (MPN 3252OD.109.ARW-PC) and Linen (MPN 3252OD.109.ARL-PC). Both are hi-gloss gelcoat with polished chrome trim. For a multi-unit senior living or apartment rehab, order all units in one color since the gelcoat shade is fixed at the factory.

American Standard classifies this gelcoat walk-in tub as a residential product. It suits single-family homes and individual apartment or condo units. For licensed care facilities, check your local code and accessibility requirements against a product specified for commercial use before you standardize on it.
