American Standard Gelcoat Tub Extender- For model 3052 - AMS-9EXT-52G

It is a gelcoat extension panel made specifically for the American Standard 3052 walk-in tub. Walk-in tubs are shorter than a standard alcove tub, so when one goes into an opening framed for a longer tub, the extender fills the leftover gap at the end of the alcove with a matching gelcoat panel instead of leaving a void to be trimmed out in drywall or tile.

Just the extension panel. The 3052 walk-in tub is a separate purchase, and features like the watertight door system, built-in chair height seat, color matched grab bar, textured floor, color matched waste and overflow, and the free standing metal support frame belong to the tub itself, not to the extender.

Two: white (9EXT-52GW) and linen (9EXT-52GL). Order the one that matches the 3052 tub shell you are installing, since the panel sits directly against the tub and any mismatch shows at the joint.

Usually yes. A walk-in tub is shorter front to back along the alcove than the 60 inch tub most bathrooms were framed for, so there is a gap at one end. The gelcoat extender for the 3052 closes that gap in matching material rather than forcing a framing and tile rebuild.

Gelcoat with fiberglass reinforcement, the same construction as the walk-in tub shell it pairs with. That means the same surface, same cleaning routine, and the same color across the tub and the filler panel, which is what you want when standardizing bathrooms across a property.
