American Standard Studio 66 x 36-Inch Drop-In Bathtub With Zero Edge - AMS-2938002-D0

The Studio tub is a 66 x 36 inch nominal drop-in, so the framed deck opening has to be built to suit those nominal dimensions. Note the carton figures run larger than nominal: 68.6 long, 40.9 wide, 23.8 high. Frame the rough opening from the tub's nominal size, not the packaged measurements, and plan for deck support on all four sides since this is a drop-in rather than a self-supporting alcove tub with an apron.

Both installs work. The Studio 66 x 36 is built to be set as a conventional drop-in with the rim resting on the deck, or undermounted beneath a finished deck for the zero edge look. Undermounting means the deck material carries the finished edge, so the substrate and support framing need to be sized for the tub plus water and bather load.

It is high-gloss acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement. Acrylic surfaces hold color through the sheet rather than sitting as a gel coat, which is why property managers pick them for repeat turns. American Standard lists the Studio as a residential tub, so for hospitality or multi-family it suits guest and unit baths rather than institutional heavy-duty applications.

It ships with a pre-leveled bottom, so the tub sets flat on a properly framed platform without shimming or a mortar bed to get it plumb. You still need a solid, level subfloor under the full footprint; the pre-leveled base removes the shimming step, not the need for continuous support.

A drop-in tub is the shell only. The Studio 66 x 36 is a soaking tub body, so the waste and overflow assembly, the trim, and the filler all get specified separately. Deck-mount or wall-mount filler is your choice since the tub has no faucet ledge drillings called out, and the deck build decides where the valve lands.

The Studio 66 x 36 is a plain soaking tub with a deep bathing well, no whirlpool or air system. If the spec calls for jets, you need a different model in the line; there is no motor, blower, or electrical rough-in required for this one, which simplifies the install to supply, waste and framing.

White only, ordered as part number 2938002-D0.020. If you are matching a suite of fixtures across a bathroom or a set of units, the white finish pairs with standard white American Standard lavatories and toilets.

Yes, the bathing well has a textured floor to reduce slips. That matters on rental and hospitality installs where a smooth acrylic base would otherwise be a liability, and it means you don't need to add an aftermarket mat to get traction underfoot.
