Compact oval bathtub with deck-mounted mixer and seat ledge
Free CAD block from the Bathtubs library (54 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Compact oval bathtub with deck-mounted mixer and seat ledge, drawn in plan, front and side elevation. It measures 3' 9" wide, 2' 11" deep and 2' 2" high (1.15 m × 90 cm × 67 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Bathtubs library: 54 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Sitz-type tubs like this compact oval, with its seat ledge and deck faucet, go into small city apartments, boat and RV layouts and some assisted-living units where a full-length tub will not fit. Draw it on the floor plan across the end of a narrow bathroom, faucet on the deck away from the seat.
Clearances to leave
The 3 ft 9 in (115 cm) length is well under the 59 in (150 cm) compact bay, so it fits across a 48 in (120 cm) room end; the 2 ft 11 in (90 cm) width still needs 24 in (60 cm) clear beside it for getting over the rim. Keep the faucet 8 in (20 cm) from a wall.
Pairs with
Goes with the Short rectangular bathtub with rounded bowl as the other small option and the Compact one-piece toilet with D-shaped trap opening on the same tight plan. A folding shower screen over the ledge turns it into a tub-shower.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 3' 9" | 1.15 m wide by 2' 11" | 90 cm deep. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 3' 9" wide, 2' 11" deep and 2' 2" high, is free to download in STEP, DXF 3D, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. It is a closed part, so it also prints at 1:50 or 1:100 for a scale model.
