The Empava EMPV-67FT1518 is a 67" freestanding soaking tub with a center drain and a 15" soaking depth, rated by Empava for one bather. It measures 67" L x 29.5" W x 26.5" H, holds 58 gallons and gives a 15" soaking depth.
A 15" Deep Soak, 58 Gallons
Empava's size drawing shows it 26.5" tall, and it has a 15" soaking depth. Empava lists it as a freestanding installation with no massage system. The 2" drain sits in the center.
Empava builds it to be lightweight but with good load-bearing capacity. The white acrylic shell weighs 77 lbs empty, and the acrylic is listed as antimicrobial and wear resistant, and Empava says it is easy to clean.
There are no jets, pump or wiring; Empava lists no faucet.
Upkeep follows Empava's manual: rinse the tub right after each bath, clean it with a soft cloth and a neutral detergent or soapy water, and keep solvents such as acetone or paint remover away from the acrylic. Light scratches polish out with car or metal polish, and deeper ones can be wet-sanded with 1000 grit paper and then polished. Empava's manual also asks you to keep electrical appliances such as hair dryers and radios at least 60" from the tub, not to fill it more than two-thirds before you get in, and to supervise children.
Planning Around a 67" x 29.5" Footprint
Plan for an overall size of 67" L x 29.5" W x 26.5" H; empty, it weighs 77 lbs. It holds 58 gallons at a 15" soaking depth. The drain is in the center, with a 2" opening.
Choosing Within Empava's FT Soaking Range
If you are weighing options within Empava's FT soaking tub range, the models closest in nominal size are the EMPV-67FT1516, the EMPV-67FT1518LED and the EMPV-67FT1527. Each is listed with its own photos, specifications and documents, so you can compare size, capacity and drain position against this model.
Empava's manual walks through the installation: unpack the tub onto cardboard or carpet so the acrylic is not scratched, adjust the feet until it sits level, connect the waste outlet, then fill it and check that the water flows to the drain before applying a thick bead of silicone around the base and leaving it 24 hours to set. Empava asks that the waste connection is made by a qualified person. In use, the manual asks you not to fill the tub more than two-thirds before getting in, to keep electrical appliances at least 60" away and to supervise children.
In short, the EMPV-67FT1518 is an Empava 67" freestanding soaking tub with a 15" soaking depth and 58 gallons of water.

Installation & Care
Installation
Freestanding, center 2" drain; overall 67" L x 29.5" W x 26.5" H, 77 lbs empty. Empava lists no faucet with this tub. Set the tub on cardboard or carpet while you work so the acrylic does not scratch, adjust the feet until it sits level (Empava's manual notes that only a level tub drains properly to the waste outlet), connect the drain to your waste outlet, then fill it and check that all the water runs away before sealing. Finish with a bead of silicone around the base and let it set for 24 hours. Empava's manual calls for the waste connection to be made by a qualified person; no electrical supply is needed.
Care
Rinse the tub after each bath so dirt and soapsuds do not build up on the walls. Clean with a soft cloth and a neutral detergent or soapy water; keep sharp or hard tools, open flames, cigarettes and solvents such as acetone or paint remover away from the acrylic, which they can soften or crack. Light scratches polish out with car or metal polish on a soft cloth; deeper ones can be wet-sanded with 1000 grit paper and then polished. Empava's manual also asks you to keep electrical appliances such as hair dryers and radios at least 60" from the tub, not to fill it more than two-thirds before you get in, and to supervise children.
