Sterling Hvac 71311100-0 Drop-in Bathtub 72x42 Inches White

Product Description

The STERLING HVAC 71311100-0 is a rectangle drop-in bathtub built from solid Vikrell, a reinforced composite material engineered for structural rigidity and long-term surface durability. The tub measures 72 inches in length and 42 inches in width, with an overall deck height of 20.3125 inches and a water depth of 15.25 inches. Total water capacity is 80 gallons, providing a full-depth bathing well suited for residential and light commercial installations. The unit ships in white with a high-gloss finish designed to resist staining and simplify routine cleaning. A contoured backrest with lumbar support and arched armrests are molded into the shell. Licensed plumbers and finish carpenters typically handle drop-in tub installations under applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.

This tub is designed for drop-in installation into a field-built deck or surround, making it a common specification for custom bathroom remodels in both residential and commercial settings. The drain location is reversible, giving installers flexibility in drain rough-in positioning. The drain connection accepts a 2-inch drain fitting. An optional flange kit is available separately for conversion to alcove-style installation, providing continuous rim support and improved water containment compared to a non-flanged alcove setup. The large bathing well interior measures 50 inches x 25.625 inches at the bottom and 59 inches x 33 inches at the top, maximizing usable soaking area within the 72-inch footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and confirm drain rough-in location before setting the tub. Verify deck framing is level and capable of supporting the tub weight plus the filled water capacity before securing the unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools on the high-gloss Vikrell surface during or after installation, as surface damage may void the warranty.
