Does this tub need a mortar bed?

Yes. Kingston Brass requires the tub to be set in mortar to keep the warranty valid. Buyers say the instructions do not make this clear, so plan for it before installation.

Will it fit a standard 60-inch alcove?

It is made for a 60-inch three-wall alcove and measures about 30.7 inches wide and 22 inches high. Measure your opening and check the right-hand drain location against your rough-in.

Does it come with a faucet or drain?

No. The tub has no pre-drilled faucet holes and the drain and faucet are sold separately. You can use a wall-mount or deck-mount faucet.

How much water does it hold?

About 58 gallons to the overflow, with a maximum capacity near 64 gallons. Water depth to the overflow is 14 inches.

Is acrylic durable enough for daily use?

The acrylic is reinforced with fiberglass and resin, which resists dulling and is easy to repair. It is lighter and more prone to scratching than cast iron or enameled steel.

Is it good for soaking?

Yes. The 14-inch water depth and 51-3/4-inch basin length give a deep soak for one person, and owners single out the basin as comfortable.
