White 27″ x 54″ American Bath ABS Mobile Home Bathtub

Description

Constructed from standard-gauge ABS plastic, this bathtub offers an excellent balance of durability and ease of installation. ABS material resists cracking, staining, and moisture damage, making it a practical long-term solution for high-use bathrooms. At approximately 30 lbs, it is significantly lighter than fiberglass alternatives, reducing installation strain while still providing solid structural support.

This tub features an integral skirt (apron) and a built-in tiling flange on three sides, helping protect surrounding walls from water intrusion when paired with a wall surround. The textured, slip-resistant bottom enhances safety during daily use, making it suitable for households of all ages.

27″ x 54″ American Bath ABS Design

Designed with flexibility in mind, the tub is available in left, right, or center drain configurations, allowing you to match your existing plumbing layout. Drain placement is determined by standing in front of the finished apron side of the tub. The faucet location can be customized during installation, giving installers greater control over final placement.

For added stability, this bathtub includes foam support underneath, helping distribute weight evenly when filled with water and in use. Bathing depth measures approximately 10–11 inches, comparable to most factory-installed tubs found in mobile homes. Please note that this model does not include an overflow, which aligns with many standard manufactured home installations.

This bathtub is proudly made in the USA and backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty, offering peace of mind along with practical performance. Optional installation components such as drains, P-traps, flange locks, or molding kits may be required depending on your setup and whether a wall surround is used.

If you’re looking for a straightforward, reliable bathtub replacement that fits standard mobile home dimensions, this White 27×54 ABS tub delivers proven functionality at an accessible price point.

Mobile Home Bathtub Installation Guide (27″ x 54″ ABS Tub)

Important: This guide is for general reference only. Always follow local plumbing codes and consult a licensed installer if required.

1. Verify Measurements & Drain Location

Before removing your old tub, confirm the following:

• Measure the existing opening to ensure 27″ x 54″ compatibility
• Identify your drain location (left, right, or center)
  Drain position is determined by standing in front of the finished apron side
• Confirm existing drain size (most mobile homes use 1½″ drain assemblies)

Installing the wrong drain orientation is the most common mistake double-check before placing the tub.

2. Prepare the Subfloor & Framing

• Remove the old bathtub and inspect the subfloor
• Repair any water-damaged or soft flooring
• Ensure the floor is level and structurally sound
• Dry-fit the tub to confirm wall and floor clearance

Tip: ABS tubs are lightweight but still require a solid, level base for long-term performance.

3. Install the Drain Assembly (Before Setting the Tub)

• Attach the drain and waste assembly before lowering the tub into position
• Use plumber’s putty or gasket material per drain manufacturer instructions
• Do not overtighten ABS fittings

Overflow assemblies are not included with this tub and are typically not required for mobile home installations.

4. Set & Secure the Bathtub

• Lower the tub carefully into place
• Ensure the foam support underside sits flat against the subfloor
• Confirm the tub is level from side to side and front to back
• Secure the tiling flange to wall studs using corrosion-resistant fasteners
  (Do not fasten through the tub basin)

Optional: A front-bottom F-channel or flange lock may be used for additional apron stability.

5. Connect Plumbing & Test for Leaks

• Connect the drain to the P-trap
• Run water and check all connections for leaks
• Verify proper drainage before enclosing the walls

Always test with water before installing wall surrounds or finishing materials.

6. Install Wall Surround or Finish Walls

• Install a compatible 27 x 54 wall surround kit if applicable
• Seal all joints with 100% silicone caulk
• Allow sealant to cure fully before use
