Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Phoenix Faucets Catalina RV Bathroom Faucet w/ D-Spud

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Phoenix Faucets 4-inch dual handle RV bathroom diverter faucet. This unit adds or replaces the diverter faucet in your RV. It's a lead-free design. It's going to feature the dual white acrylic lever handles that gives the unit a really nice look. It's going to feature the quarter turn design. Then they have the H and C indicators on there to indicate hot and cold. We're also going to have the D Spud outlet on top for attaching the hand-held shower.

Now the handheld shower is not included. Those are sold separately and can be found here at etrailer.com. When you're read to use the shower, all you have to do is lift up on the spout lift rod, which is located right here. This is going to divert water flow from the spout to the showerhead. You just lift that up, very small movement on that piece right there, but you lift it up and then that's going to divert the water. The unit is designed to prevent water backflow, which is going to help prevent contamination of your fresh water supply. It's made from a durable plastic construction that's white in color.

It does have a low-flow aerator on it, that's already installed. That's going to have a flow rate of 2.2 gallons per minute. The mounting area does require two holes for your installation, these are going to be the connection points for the hot and cold water lines. These are separated on center by four inches. They're going to give us a length measurement of two inches.

These connection points are going to have an outer diameter, measuring outside thread, the outside thread, that looks to be 13/16 of an inch with an inner diameter right around half an inch. The shower head's connector right here, the D Spud outlet, that's going to have an outer diameter of 13/16 of an inch. Taking a few measurements of the base, front to back we're looking at about 2-1/8 of an inch. Side to side, we're looking at a measurement of just over six inches, maybe 6-1/8 to 6-1/4. I also took a measurement from the bottom of the base, measuring the overall height, I can turn it this way so you can get a better look at that. This would be the overall height from the mounting surface.

It's going to be pretty close to 3 inches, maybe 3-1/8 to 3-1/4, right in that area. The overall depth from the back of the mounting area, or the base to the furthest out front of the unit we're looking at about 5-1/4 inches. I also took a measurement from the mounting surface to the low flow aerator right here, and that gave a height measurement from the mounting surface of about 1-1/8 of an inch. Pretty simple installation, it does come with the backing plate, now that's a one-piece design, and it's going to come with the threaded mounting nuts. It's also going to come with your detailed installation instructions. That two holes are required for installation, those are going to need to be separated on center by four inches. Going to have a diameter of one inch. Just going to walk you through that installation process. On this side it's going to have some operating instructions and some helpful tips, and on the backside it's going to have a detailed breakdown of the parts list. That's going to do it for today's look at the Phoenix Faucets four inch dual handle RV bathroom diverter faucet.
