American Standard Princeton Americast 60 x 30-Inch Integral Apron Bathtub With Right-Hand Outlet - AMS-2391202

Right hand. Model 2391202 is the right-hand outlet version, meaning the drain and overflow sit at the right end as you face the tub from the room. Stand at the open side of the alcove looking at the apron: if your waste rough-in is on your right, this is the one. If the rough-in is on the left, you need the left-hand outlet Princeton instead, not this model.

The tub is the tub. Americast body, integral apron, integral flange, slip-resistant floor. The drain and overflow waste assembly is not part of it, and neither is the tub filler, the shower valve, or the diverter spout, so budget those on the same order. Match the waste to a right-hand outlet layout and pick a finish that ties to your trim.

Dimensionally yes, if the existing tub is a 60 x 30 right-drain alcove unit, which is the most common configuration in North American apartment baths. The Princeton is the same 60 x 30 footprint with a right-hand outlet and an integral apron, so it fills the same recess and presents the same finished front. Two things to verify on the demo: that your waste rough-in truly lands at the right end, and that the wall finish is coming off far enough to get the new integral flange behind the backer board. A flange tub cannot be slid in behind existing tile.

Americast is an engineered steel core with a porcelain glaze fired to the surface, so it takes a hard glossy porcelain wear face like cast iron but is a good deal lighter to carry and set than a cast iron tub of the same size. Compared with acrylic or fiberglass, the porcelain surface is the difference: it doesn't scratch or dull the way a plastic surface does under abrasive cleaners, which is what matters in turn-over units and heavy traffic baths. Compared with cast iron, the practical win is handling it up a stairwell with two people instead of four.

ADA compliant, yes, per American Standard's own listing for the Princeton. That matters if you are specifying for multi-family accessible units, senior housing, or a healthcare or hospitality bath where the fixture schedule calls it out. Note that ADA compliance of the finished bathing facility also depends on grab bars, controls, and clear floor space, which are separate items on your order.

No mortar bed. The Princeton ships with a pre-leveled tub bottom, so it sits on the subfloor and beds itself once the framing is square. That is a real time saver on a multi-unit job where you are setting several tubs in a day. Get the subfloor flat and clean first; a pre-leveled bottom still telegraphs a high spot.

It has one built in. The Princeton carries an integral three sided tile and water retention flange, so the back wall and both end walls tie into the tub rim directly. Your tile backer goes over the flange and the tile laps down onto the tub deck. Nothing extra to buy for the flange itself, though you still need to seal the tile to tub joint.

Three: White (2391202.02), Linen (2391202.222), and Arctic (2391202.011). White is the one to standardize on across a building because it matches most stock toilets and lavs; Linen is the warmer off-white for older units where the existing fixtures are not a true white. Order all the fixtures in a bathroom from the same color family, since off-whites from different eras rarely read as a match side by side.

The full floor surface is textured slip resistant, American Standard's Stansure, and it covers the whole bathing well rather than a small patch under the middle. For assisted living, hospitality, and multi-family turns that removes the loose mat, which is itself a trip and mildew problem.

There is shaping in the shell: an integral lumbar support with a beveled headrest at the back end, formed into the Americast body rather than added as a pad. So the backrest slopes instead of standing vertical. Worth knowing when you are replacing a flat wall builder tub in a unit you are repositioning, because it is a noticeable upgrade a tenant actually feels.
