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

The Princeton Americast recessed tub measures 60 x 30 inches, which is the standard alcove footprint on most residential and multi-family bathrooms. It is a recessed bath with an integral apron, so it is built for a three-wall alcove with the finished apron facing out. Framing an opening for it means a 60 inch clear alcove between studs, front to back depth of 30 inches.

Left-hand outlet only. Standing in front of the tub facing the apron, the drain and overflow are at the left end, so the waste rough-in has to be on that side. If your existing rough-in puts the trap at the right end, this is the wrong drain hand and you need the right-hand outlet version of the Princeton instead. Getting this backwards is the single most common reason a tub comes back off a job.

ADA compliant, and it carries a full Stansure slip-resistant floor surface plus integral lumbar support with a beveled headrest. For institutional and multi-family specs where the bathing fixture has to satisfy accessibility requirements, the Princeton Americast is written to comply.

An integral tile and water retention flange runs on three sides, the two ends and the back wall, which is exactly the three walls of an alcove. Backer board and tile lap over the flange so water running down the wall drains back into the tub rather than behind it. No separate flange kit to order.

Americast is American Standard's engineered steel construction with a glossy porcelain finish bonded to it. Compared with a plain enameled steel tub, the porcelain surface is the same hard, cleanable face you get on cast iron, but the tub is not solid iron. Compared with acrylic or fiberglass, you get a porcelain wear surface instead of a plastic one. For a property manager replacing tubs across a building where the units see heavy turnover, the porcelain face is what holds up to cleaning chemicals.

The tub bottom comes pre-leveled from the factory, so it sets down on a level subfloor without the shimming and leveling a bare steel tub usually needs. That is time off the install for a contractor setting multiple units.

The tub is the fixture only. The waste and overflow assembly, the trap, and the tub filler or shower valve are all ordered separately. Spec the waste and overflow for a left-hand outlet so it lands on the correct end, and pick the trim finish to match the rest of the bath.

Two: White, ordered as 2390202.02, and Linen, ordered as 2390202.222. Linen is the warmer off-white. If you are matching other American Standard fixtures already in the building, the suffix after the model number is the color code, so specify it on the order.
