American Standard New Solar 60 x 30-Inch Integral Apron Bathtub Above Floor Rough With Right-Hand Outlet - AMS-263112

That's exactly what the New Solar 263112 is built for. It's an above-floor rough model, meaning the drain connection is made above the finished floor rather than dropping through a joist bay, which is why it gets used in slab construction and second-floor retrofits where you can't open the deck. The tub carries a fully-bonded support pad underneath, so it sets on the subfloor rather than needing a mortar bed poured under it.

Right-hand outlet, end drain. Stand at the open (apron) side of the tub facing it, and the waste and overflow are at the right end. That fixes where your rough waste line has to land, so if the existing drain is at the left end of the alcove this is the wrong hand and you want the left-hand version of the New Solar instead. Getting this backwards is the most common reason a tub goes back on the truck.

Nominal 60 x 30 x 16-5/8 inches (1524 x 762 x 422 mm). That 60 by 30 footprint is the standard alcove opening in most North American apartments and hotels, so it drops into a framed recess built for a five-foot tub. Check the 16-5/8 inch height against your existing unit if you're replacing one, since that number sets where the tiling flange lands and how much wall tile you'll need to cut back or add.

Yes, and it's built for it. The New Solar has a straight tiling flange on the back and both ends, which is the lip you fasten to the studs and lap your backer board and tile over. That's an alcove tub, not a drop-in or freestanding one. If you need a tub that sits in a deck or stands alone in the middle of a bathroom, an integral-apron alcove model like this one is the wrong format.

No. The apron is integral, formed as part of the one-piece bath, so the finished front face comes with the tub and there's no skirt panel to order or build. What you still need to source separately is the waste and overflow assembly and the tub filler trim, since neither is part of the tub itself.

Enameled steel with an acid-resisting porcelain enamel surface. Steel tubs are hard-surfaced and don't flex or scratch the way an acrylic or fiberglass unit does, which is why they turn up in multi-family and hospitality where turnover cleaning is aggressive. The tradeoff is that steel conducts heat, so the water cools faster than in an acrylic tub, and a chipped enamel spot down to the substrate needs attention. For a property manager standardizing across a building, the acid-resisting enamel is the part that matters against routine cleaner exposure.

Full slip-resistant pattern across the bathing surface, not just a small textured island at the drain end. That covers the whole standing area, which is what facility and multi-family buyers usually want when they're specifying tubs for a building with older residents or high turnover.

White only, ordered as 263112.02. If you're matching other fixtures in a building, white is the one finish this model is made in, so a lavatory or toilet in a colored or bone finish won't be matched by the tub.
