American Standard Princeton PRO Steel 60 x 30-inch Integral Apron Bathtub with Left-Hand Outlet - AMS-1390202

Left-hand outlet. Stand at the front of the tub facing the apron: the drain and overflow are at your left end. If your rough-in waste is on the right, this is the wrong tub and you need the right-hand version instead. The alcove has to match the outlet, there's no reversing it once the tub is set.

It's a 60 x 30 inch integral apron tub, so it drops into the standard three-wall alcove that most bathrooms are framed for. The apron is part of the tub, so no separate skirt or front panel to buy. Frame the opening to 60 inches wall to wall and the tub sets in with the flange against the studs.

No mortar. The Princeton PRO comes with leveling support built in, so it sets and levels without a bed poured underneath. That's the main install difference from older enameled steel tubs, which usually got a mortar or sand bed to stop flex and drum sound. Saves a step on a multi-unit turnover.

Built in on three sides. The integral tile and water retention flange runs the two ends and the back wall, which is what you want in an alcove: tile or surround laps over the flange and water that gets past the grout drains back into the tub instead of into the wall cavity. Installation hardware is included with the tub.

Installation hardware for the tub itself comes in the box. What does not come with it is the drain and overflow waste assembly, the tub filler and shower valve, and the wall surround or tile. Order the waste to suit a left-hand outlet and confirm the trim finish matches the rest of the bath before the plumber shows up.

Enamel-over-steel, like the Princeton PRO, gives you a hard scratch and stain resistant surface that holds up to tenant abuse and abrasive cleaning better than acrylic, and it won't flex underfoot. Acrylic is lighter to carry up a stairwell and warmer to the touch. For property managers standardizing across units, steel is the usual pick for durability; for a single upscale bath where feel matters, acrylic wins.

The floor is textured for slip resistance as cast, so no separate mat or applied strips are needed. For institutional and multi-family work where slip complaints turn into claims, that's part of the tub rather than something maintenance has to add later.

White, ordered as American Standard part 1390202.02. White is the only finish it's built in, which is what makes it easy to standardize across a building.
