American Standard Gelcoat Premium Series 32 x 52 -Inch Walk-in Tub With Combination Air Spa and Whirlpool Systems - Left-Hand Drain With Faucet - AMS-3252OD.109.CL

The bath is a 32 x 52 inch nominal footprint, and the published overall dimensions are 54 inches long, 34 inches wide and 45 inches high. Frame and finish to the 54 x 34 numbers rather than the nominal 32 x 52, and confirm you have 45 inches of vertical clearance under any window sill, valve, or soffit. That height is also what determines whether the unit will make the turn through the bathroom door on the way in.

No extra plumbing. The patented Quick Drain is built in and works off the standard drain connection, pumping the tub empty in under two minutes so the bather isn't sitting in cooling water waiting for the door to be safe to open. You will need power at the tub for it, along with the whirlpool pump, the heated air blower, the in-line heater, and the chromatherapy lighting, so plan the electrical with your electrician before the walls close.

The faucet is included on this model. It ships with a premium fast-fill faucet and a handheld showering wand, plus a polished chrome drain, overflow, and safety grab bar, and a neck rest. The faucet deck mount is on the left side with the door and drain. American Standard also builds a version of this tub without the faucet, so if you already have a deck set specified, check that you are looking at the right model.

The door opens outward on the left side, which is what makes it a full-transfer entry: a wheelchair or transfer bench can come right up to the opening without the door swinging into the seat area. The tradeoff is you need clear floor space outside the tub on the left for the swing, so a vanity, toilet, or partition wall tight to that end will block it. Measure that clearance before you commit to the left-hand model.

You get both systems on this model. The whirlpool side runs 12 water jets with an in-line heater and a Legs-Only Massage mode, which is the deeper, targeted pressure massage. The air spa side runs 26 air jets off a variable speed heated blower, producing a softer full-body bubble action that encourages circulation. Whirlpool jets move water; air jets move air. Buyers who want one or the other only should look at a single-system model, since this one carries the cost and the service points of both.

It is classified as a residential fixture. The safety features (built-in grab bar, textured floor, contoured chair-height seat, low-threshold full-transfer door) are aimed at aging-in-place in a private home. For senior living, healthcare, or multi-family common bathing rooms, your facility's code officer will typically want a fixture specified for institutional use, so verify against your project spec before committing to it on a commercial job.

Two shell colors: white and linen. Both carry the same polished chrome drain, overflow, and grab bar trim, so the chrome accessories look the same either way. Linen is the warmer off-white if you're matching an existing linen lav or toilet in the room; white is the safer choice when the rest of the fixtures are standard white.

Both systems self-clean on this model. The whirlpool side uses an Ozone Self-Cleaning Sanitation System, and the air spa side runs an auto-purge cycle that clears residual water out of the air channels after use. That matters more on a walk-in than a standard tub, because the bather fills and drains with the door closed and standing water in the lines is what causes odor complaints.

Easy-touch push button controls, not knobs or levers, so operating the jets, blower, and lighting doesn't require grip or twisting. The shell itself is hi-gloss Gelcoat, and the seat is contoured at chair height to make sitting down and standing back up easier. A built-in grab bar and textured floor are part of the tub, so there's nothing additional to order for basic in-tub safety.
