American Standard 4836SM-COL.218 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Standard Townsend 48 x 36 shower base come with a drain?
No drain is included with the Townsend 48 x 36 base. You order the drain assembly separately and match it to your waste line. What does come in the box is the color-matched trench drain cover, which is removable for cleaning the channel out.
2) What are the actual outside dimensions of the Townsend 4836SM shower base for framing my alcove?
The base measures 53.312 x 41.5 x 5 inches overall, against a nominal 48 x 36 footprint. The extra width and length come from the integral tiling flange, so frame to the actual numbers, not the nominal size, or the flange will not land on your studs.
3) Is the Townsend single threshold base a corner unit or does it go in a three-wall alcove?
It is built for a three-wall alcove. The integral tiling and water retention flange runs on three sides at 1 inch tall, and the single threshold is the open, fourth side where the door or curtain goes. For a corner installation with two finished sides, this is the wrong base.
4) Where does the drain fall on the 4836SM-COL base?
Center drain, so the rough waste needs to be set on the centerline of the 48 x 36 footprint. It runs to a trench-style channel with a removable cover rather than a round point drain, so confirm your rough-in location before the slab or subfloor is closed up.
5) Can the surface on this Townsend base be repaired if it gets chipped during construction?
Yes. The Townsend base has a repairable and renewable surface, so job-site chips and scratches can be worked out rather than requiring a full replacement. It is also stain and impact resistant, which matters in a unit turn where the base goes in before tile and paint.
6) What color and finish does the Townsend 4836SM base come in?
One finish: Soft White, MPN 4836SM-COL.218. It is a smooth matte surface rather than a high gloss, and the included trench drain cover is color matched to it.
7) Is this Townsend shower base suitable for an apartment building or hotel bathroom?
American Standard classifies the Townsend 48 x 36 base as a residential product in its luxury line. It is a fit for single-family, condo, and multi-family unit bathrooms. For high-traffic commercial washrooms, look at a base specified for commercial duty instead.
8) Will the tile go over the flange on this shower base, and how high does the flange sit?
The flange is integral to the base, runs 1 inch high, and covers three sides. The wall board and tile lap over it so water running down the wall is shed back into the pan. Because it is molded in, there is no separate flange kit to buy or fasten.
9) How does this base hold up to mildew in a bathroom with poor ventilation?
The Townsend base surface is fungi and bacterial resistant, and it cleans with routine maintenance. It is also UV resistant and self-extinguishing. That combination is aimed at units where the exhaust fan is undersized and the base sits damp between uses.
