American Standard 3838AM-FCOL.218 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the drain assembly included with the American Standard Townsend 38 x 38 shower base?
No drain is supplied. The Townsend 3838AM-FCOL base ships with a removable brushed stainless steel trench drain cover only, so you need to order the drain body separately and match it to your waste line before the plumber sets the pan.
2) Does this 38 x 38 Townsend base actually meet ADA requirements?
It is built as an ADA compliant base, but the compliance depends on the install: American Standard states it is ADA compliant when installed according to ADA guidelines. That means the threshold height, drain placement and surrounding clearances have to be executed per the guidelines on site.
3) Will this shower base work in a tiled alcove, and does it need a separate water stop?
It drops into a three-wall alcove. The Townsend base has an integral 1 inch tiling and water retention flange on three sides, so wall board and tile lap over the flange and no add-on water dam is needed. The fourth side is the single threshold entry.
4) How much space do I need to frame for the Townsend 38 x 38 ADA base?
Frame for the outside footprint, not the nominal size. The base measures 43.5 by 43.5 with a height of 6, so the flanges and threshold add roughly five and a half inches over the 38 by 38 bathing area. Confirm your rough opening against those outer numbers before the studs go up.
5) Is this base suitable for a multi-family or hotel bathroom, or is it a residential product?
American Standard classes the Townsend 3838AM-FCOL as a residential luxury base. It is at home in a home or condo bathroom remodel. For heavy-duty institutional or high-traffic commercial washrooms, look at a base rated for commercial service instead.
6) What does the surface of the Townsend base look like, and can it be repaired if it gets chipped?
The finish is a smooth matte in Soft White, and the surface is repairable and renewable, so a scratch or chip can be dressed out rather than replacing the pan. It also resists stains and impact and is fungi and bacteria resistant, which matters for a unit turn.
7) Is the drain in the center or at the end of this Townsend base?
Center drain, and it uses a trench-style cover rather than a round grate. Set your waste rough-in to the centerline of the 38 by 38 bathing area, and note the cover lifts out for cleaning the channel.
8) Which American Standard Townsend shower base part number do I order?
The orderable number is 3838AM-FCOL.218, the Soft White finish of the Townsend 38 x 38 single threshold ADA base with center drain. The .218 suffix is the color code.
