American Standard Princeton Americast 60 x 34-Inch Integral Apron Bathtub Left-Hand Outlet With Luxury Ledge - AMS-2394202

The drain outlet is on the left-hand end as you face the tub from the front (the apron side). Rough the waste and overflow in on that end. If your plumbing comes up on the opposite end, you need the right-hand outlet version instead, not this one.

It's an alcove tub. The Princeton has an integral apron front and a tiling flange, so it's built to sit in a three-wall recess with the finished apron facing out and the flange tucked behind the wall board on the three enclosed sides. It isn't meant for a drop-in deck or a freestanding install.

American Standard states the Princeton Americast apron tub meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, and it has the StanSure slip-resistant textured bathing surface. That covers the fixture itself; the grab bars, clearances, and control locations around it are still on the installer to meet the code your inspector is working from.

Americast is American Standard's patented material: a steel center layer bonded to a composite backing, with porcelain enamel on the bathing surface. Against cast iron, it's easier to set and the backing insulates so bath water stays warm longer instead of the tub pulling heat out of it. Against an enameled steel tub, that same backing cuts the drumming noise when the shower is running. You still get the non-porous glossy enamel surface, which resists scratches and wipes clean.

No separate frame is required. The Princeton has a built-in leveling base molded into the tub, so it sets on the subfloor and levels without shimming up a cradle. Standard practice still applies for blocking the ledger and fastening through the tiling flange.

The tub ships as the fixture only, in white. You'll order the waste and overflow trim, the tub filler or shower valve, and any grab bars separately. Plan the drain assembly for a left-hand outlet.

White only, MPN 2394202.02. If you're standardizing units across a property, that keeps it matching the usual white china and surrounds without a special order.

It has the Luxury Ledge, an extra-wide rim that gives room to set bathing essentials without a separate caddy. In a rental or hotel setting that's the difference between tenants hanging things off the valve and having somewhere to put them.
