American Standard Townsend 68 x 36-Inch Freestanding Bathtub Center Drain With Integrated Overflow - AMS-2691004

The Townsend freestanding tub has a straight back wall so it installs flush to the finished wall. That's the point of the design: no gap behind the tub to collect dust or debris, unlike a true center-of-room freestanding tub that needs clearance on all four sides. If your plan calls for the tub to float in the middle of the room, this shape isn't the one you want.

No. The Townsend 68 x 36 freestanding tub comes with an integral overflow and an integrated tub drain, so the waste side is built in rather than ordered as a separate trip lever and overflow kit. You still need to bring the drain and trap up at the center drain location and connect to the building waste.

Drain is center, not at one end. Your waste rough-in has to land under the middle of the 68-inch length rather than at a head or foot wall like an alcove tub. That's the single most common mistake when swapping a standard alcove tub for this one, because alcove tubs are normally end-drain.

Yes. The Townsend has a wide ledge intended for a deck mounted filler, and it will take a personal shower alongside it. The filler and handshower are separate purchases and are not supplied with the tub. If you'd rather keep the ledge clear for toiletries, a floor mounted or wall mounted filler works too, since the tub itself carries no faucet drilling requirement.

Adjustable leveling feet are fitted underneath the tub, so you set it in place and dial each foot until the rim is level and the drain pitches correctly. No mortar bed or shimming frame is required to get it sitting true.

There's an access panel on the back wall of the tub. Since the back wall goes flush to the finished wall, plan your framing and finish so that panel stays reachable, and coordinate it with wherever your trap and waste arm land under the center drain.

Seamless acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement behind it. Acrylic is warm to the touch, lighter to carry in than cast iron, and repairable if it gets scratched or chipped, which is why it's the common choice in multi-family and hospitality work. Cleaning is a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth; abrasive pads will dull an acrylic surface.

White only, ordered as part number 2691004.02. If you're matching a lavatory, toilet, or shower base in the same room, the Townsend tub is built to coordinate with the rest of the Townsend suite of fixtures.
