American Standard Princeton Americast 60 x 30-Inch Integral Apron Bathtub Left-Hand Outlet With Integral Drain - AMS-2390202ICH

The Princeton Americast apron tub measures 61 inches long by 31.5 inches wide by 16 inches high, so it is built to drop into a standard 5-foot alcove with the extra length taken up by the integral tile flange sitting inside the studs. Check your rough opening stud-to-stud before demo: you need the full 61 inches of framed opening, not 60. The 3-sided integral tile and water retention flange means the surround or tile laps over the flange rather than butting a separate one on.

This one is the left-hand outlet version, MPN 2390202ICH.020. Stand at the open side of the alcove looking at the tub: if the drain end is on your left, you want the left-hand model. Get it backwards and the waste and overflow will not line up with your existing rough-in, which on a remodel means opening the floor. Confirm where the trap and stub-out sit before ordering, since the drain end is fixed on an integral apron tub.

The overflow comes factory-installed and the drain stopper and escutcheon are in the box, so you are not sourcing a separate trip lever or overflow plate. What you still supply is the trap and the drain arm connection below the floor, plus the tub filler and valve, which are never part of a tub. That factory overflow is the main labor saving here compared with a tub you have to assemble a waste and overflow onto on site.

An integral apron tub like the Princeton has the finished front skirt molded as part of the tub, so it recesses into a three-wall alcove and needs no framed deck or separate skirt panel. A drop-in needs a built deck and a tiled or panelled surround, which is more carpentry and more cost. A freestanding tub needs floor-mounted or wall-mounted filler plumbing and finished floor all the way around. For a standard 5-foot alcove replacement, the apron tub is the direct swap and the least framing work.

The tub bottom comes pre-leveled from the factory, so it seats on a properly flat, level subfloor without building up a bed to correct it. That takes out the step where a steel or acrylic tub gets shimmed and mudded to stop flex and rocking. Do still confirm the subfloor itself is level and sound, and follow the manufacturer's setting instructions for your floor condition, because a pre-leveled bottom only helps if what is under it is flat.

The Princeton is built as a residential tub, and the Americast construction (engineered steel with a bonded glossy porcelain surface) gives you a hard porcelain wearing surface rather than a gelcoat that scratches and dulls. For apartments, single-family rentals and hospitality guest baths it is the usual spec. The floor carries a full Stansure slip-resistant surface across the whole bottom, not just a textured patch, which matters when the same unit turns over repeatedly.

White is the only finish on the Princeton 2390202ICH, ordered as 2390202ICH.020, with the .020 suffix being American Standard's white code. If you are standardizing fixtures across a building, that means the tub matches a white toilet and lavatory from the same line without a color-match question.

There is an integral lumbar support with a beveled headrest molded into the back of the tub, so the bathing well is contoured rather than a flat slab. It is a recessed alcove bathing tub, not a deep soaker: overall height is 16 inches, so water depth is what you would expect from a standard alcove tub rather than a soaking depth.
