Sterling Hvac 72171110-96 Shower Receptor 60x30 Left Drain Biscuit

Product Description

The STERLING HVAC 72171110-96 is a solid Vikrell shower receptor from the Ensemble series, designed for tile-down and direct-to-stud shower installations. Measuring 60 inches in length by 30 inches in width with a 4-inch depth, this receptor provides the structural footprint needed to replace a standard five-foot bathtub enclosure. The left-drain configuration accommodates standard plumbing rough-in locations. Built from Vikrell, a solid composite material, this receptor resists flexing and cracking under load while providing a smooth surface that installs cleanly without the waterproofing concerns associated with traditional tile receptors.

This receptor is suited for residential bath and powder room remodels where a tub is being converted to a walk-in shower. The 60-inch by 30-inch footprint matches standard five-foot tub alcoves, making it a practical drop-in replacement for remodel contractors and plumbers. The tile-down design allows the installer to set tile directly over the receptor flange for a custom finished look while maintaining the structural integrity and leak resistance of a one-piece base unit. The single threshold design supports standard shower door and enclosure installations.

Key Features

• Solid Vikrell construction resists flexing, cracking, and surface wear
• 60 inches x 30 inches footprint designed to replace standard five-foot tub alcoves
• Left drain location with 3-5/16 inch drain hole diameter for standard drain fitting compatibility
• Tile-down design allows finished tile to be set over the receptor flange for a custom appearance
• Single threshold configuration supports most standard shower door and enclosure systems
• Biscuit color finish for coordinated bathroom installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement receptor for residential shower and bath remodel applications where a standard five-foot tub alcove is being converted to a shower configuration with a left-drain rough-in.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and verify drain rough-in location before setting the receptor. The receptor must be set in a full mortar bed or manufacturer-approved substrate to prevent flexing and ensure proper support across the entire base. Do not overtighten drain fittings or use solvent-based adhesives not approved for Vikrell material.
