ANSI or other standard for bathtub size?
-
Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Aug 01, 2012Kevin, if its a soaking tub the standard is 32 inches. If it is a standard tub its 30 inches wide. However that is not always the case. I know of no standard that requires a tub to be a set size. But those are the most common available. And of course you can still get other special sizes depending upon type and manufacture producing it. Also here is a link to check out. Towards the bottom is a list of numbers you can contact perhaps to send you in the direction your looking for. But I think there is no standard on size, only on piping and design criteria. http://www.apsp.org/Public/Standards/ANSIAPSPStandards/index.cfm You may also want to check with the manufacture of a brand. As they may be able to point you in a direction to get the answer. I am sure you can find help lines with all the major manufactures on their web sites. Here is one for Kohler tubs they have a 800 number. I am sure they never had this question before. Should prove interesting. http://www.us.kohler.com/us/static/contact.jspHelpful Reply
