American Standard Princeton Americast 60 x 34-Inch Integral Apron Bathtub Above Floor Rough Right-Hand Outlet Luxury Ledge with Integral Drain - AMS-2397202ICH

That's the point of the above-floor rough design on the Princeton. The waste and overflow run in the space directly under the tub instead of below the subfloor, so on a remodel you can usually tie into the existing drain location rather than cutting the floor and relocating it. The drain assembly is factory installed, so there's no separate waste and overflow kit to order or set on site.

Right-hand outlet. Stand facing the tub from the room side: the drain end is on your right. Get this wrong and the waste line lands on the opposite wall, which is the single most common return on an alcove tub. American Standard builds the Princeton in both hands, so if your rough-in is on the left you need the left-hand outlet version, not this one.

The tub measures 60.5 inches long, 35.5 inches wide and 19.75 inches high, so frame the alcove to take the 60.5 inch length wall to wall, not a tight 60. The apron front is integral and the unit has a tiling flange on the wall sides, so the flange sits behind the backer board and the finished apron faces the room. There's a built-in leveling base underneath, so it sets on the subfloor without a mortar bed.

American Standard states the Princeton meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. It also carries their StanSure slip-resistant textured bottom, which is the surface treatment that matters on an accessible bathing fixture. If you're specifying for a facility, note that grab bars are a separate wall-mounted assembly and are not part of the tub.

In most cases yes, but measure before you demo. The tub is 60.5 inches long and 35.5 inches wide, so a nominal 60 inch alcove framed stud to stud will take it, while a tight opening built to exactly 60 inches of finished wall will not. Height to the ledge is 19.75 inches. Confirm the drain is on the right when facing the tub, since this is the right-hand outlet version.

American Standard classifies the Princeton as a residential fixture. It's widely used in multi-family and hospitality unit bathrooms because it's a standard 60 inch alcove size with a factory drain, but if you're writing a spec that calls for a commercial-duty bathing fixture, this classification is what your submittal will show.

The waste and overflow assembly is factory installed on this Princeton, which is what the ICH designation covers. That saves the separate rough-in kit most alcove tubs need. What it does not include is the tub filler and shower valve trim, or the grab bars if the job calls for them. Order those on their own.

White only, MPN 2397202ICH.020. The surface is a non-porous glossy porcelain enamel, so it cleans with ordinary non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and doesn't stain or absorb the way an acrylic surface can. Skip abrasive pads on the StanSure textured bottom; the texture is meant to be easy to clean without them.

It's the extra-wide flat deck along the back rim, wide enough to set shampoo and soap on without a caddy hanging off the showerhead. On a rental or hotel unit that's one less accessory to maintain. It does not change the tub's footprint: overall width still runs 35.5 inches.
