Cahaba CA401004 Violet 69 in. Freestanding Acrylic Tub

Plan on a 69 inch by 31-1/2 inch footprint, with the rim sitting 26-3/4 inches off the floor. It's an oval freestanding tub, so it needs clearance all the way around rather than a three-wall alcove. Check your doorway and turn path too, since the shell is one piece.

No. The Violet 69 in. tub has a reversible drain placement, so the shell can be set with the drain end at either side of the space. That is useful on a remodel where the existing waste line is fixed. The tub ships with a preinstalled pop-up drain and waste overflow, and a flexible P-trap is sold separately as model CA401FLEX.

No. The tub is drilled with no faucet holes, so it takes either a wall-mounted faucet or a floor-mounted freestanding tub filler. Budget for the faucet separately, it isn't included with the tub.

Water depth to the overflow is 15-3/4 inches, with roughly 76-5/7 gallons of capacity. The interior basin measures 50-1/2 inches long, 22 inches wide and 19 inches deep, so it's a full-length soaker rather than a shallow bathing tub.

The tub itself weighs 103.6 lbs empty because the shell is fiberglass-reinforced acrylic rather than cast iron or stone. Add about 76-5/7 gallons of water plus the bather for your loading calculation. Concealed adjustable leveling legs carry the tub, so the load lands on the legs rather than a continuous rim.

It rides on hidden adjustable leveling legs built into the base, so you dial the tub level without shimming and without any visible feet. The foot style is concealed, there are no claw or exposed feet to finish or match.

Two choices, both on a glossy white tub: a chrome pop-up drain and overflow, or a white one. Pick the chrome if the rest of the room's trim is polished chrome, the white if you want the drain to disappear into the shell. The drain and overflow arrive preinstalled either way.

No. The drain and overflow on the Violet 69 in. tub come preinstalled and are not interchangeable, so order the matching flexible P-trap, model CA401FLEX, rather than trying to adapt a generic tub waste kit.

For a renovation where you're carrying the tub up stairs and setting it on an existing floor, the acrylic shell is the practical choice: 103.6 lbs empty, fiberglass reinforced, and it holds heat well for soaking. Cast iron gives you more mass and a harder surface but needs structural allowance and a crew to place. If you want a freestanding oval look without reinforcing the floor, acrylic is the one.
