Freestanding Tubs with End Drain

A freestanding tub with end drain has the drain hole positioned at either the left or right end of the tub floor. Because this type of tub has the drain positioned at one end, it easier to align with existing plumbing—especially when replacing a left end drain or right end drain alcove tub. Because a freestanding tub is finished on all sides, you can usually rotate the tub to switch the drain orientation (left-to-right or vice versa), making the drain placement flexible. Therefore, most freestanding tubs with end drains are considered reversible end drain tubs.

While some tubs with end drain placement do not include a drain (drain is sold separately), all of the models included in our collection of freestanding tubs with end drain include a drain assembly kit (with or without overflow). Our collection of freestanding tubs with end drain included features several easy-to-install standalone tub styles:

Freestanding Tub with Reversible End Drain

Some freestanding tubs are classified as having a reversible end drain, meaning the drain orientation can often be changed during installation simply by rotating/reversing the direction of the tub. This is possible because freestanding tubs are finished on all sides. This flexibility allows for either left- or right-hand drain placement. A freestanding tub with reversible drain can often be easiest to install in place of an existing alcove tub that has an end drain because you can adjust the drain orientation to align with the existing plumbing. This flexibility helps reduce the need for extensive plumbing modifications.

Freestanding Tub with Integrated End Drain

A freestanding tub with integrated end drain is a standalone bathtub where the drain and overflow system is built into one end of the tub shell. A built-in push pop-up drain and overflow system can help simplify installation. A freestanding tub with integral end drain has a clean, contemporary design that conceals the drain plumbing for a seamless appearance.
