American Standard Studio 60 x 32-Inch Integral Apron Bathtub With Right-Hand Outlet - AMS-2946102

Right-hand outlet. Stand at the front of the tub looking at the apron: the drain and overflow are at the right end, so your rough-in waste has to land on that side. If your plumbing is roughed in on the left, this is the wrong version and you want the left-hand outlet Studio instead.

That is what it's built for. It has an integral apron front plus a three-sided integral tiling flange with a 1 inch water-retention lip, so three sides tuck behind the wall board and tile while the finished apron faces the room. The tub bottom comes pre-leveled for recessed install. It is not meant for a drop-in or freestanding application, since the apron and flange are molded in.

The tub is 60 x 32 inches, which is the standard alcove footprint most bathrooms are framed for, so it drops into a typical 60 inch tub bay. Frame the studs so the tiling flange lands flat against them on all three sides.

No. The waste and overflow are ordered separately. If you want a deeper bathing depth, American Standard's Deep Soak drain, model 1640305, is the companion piece for this tub and raises the water line. Budget for a drain assembly on every unit when you're pricing a multi-bathroom job.

Two: Arctic (part 2946102.011) and White (part 2946102.02). Both are the same tub, same right-hand outlet, same 60 x 32 footprint. Arctic and White read slightly differently against fixtures, so if you're matching an existing toilet or lavatory in a unit, order by the exact suffix.

The bathing well has a textured floor surface molded in to reduce slipping, and the rest of the tub is a high-gloss surface that wipes clean, which matters when housekeeping or a turn crew is cleaning dozens of units. The texture is part of the tub, not an applied strip that peels.

The Studio tub bottom is pre-leveled from the factory for recessed installation, so it sits flat on a level subfloor without building up a bed. Check the subfloor itself is level and solid first; the pre-leveled bottom saves you setting the tub, not preparing the floor.

The flange is an integral three-sided, 1 inch water-retention flange, so it lifts water back into the tub rather than letting it run down the back of the wall board. Lap your waterproofing and backer over the flange, not behind it, and the detail works as intended.
