Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Phoenix Faucets Hybrid RV Bathroom Faucet

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Phoenix faucet single handle RV bathroom faucet. This unit adds or replaces a bathroom faucet in your RV. The single lever handle gives the unit a very nice look, very easy to use, very functional. This faucet's going to be what's known as a hybrid faucet meaning it's constructed of plastic and metal. The shanks here are going to be constructed of a brass construction. They're going to feature a polymer lining. Basically the unit like the base, the stem, the handle, the main portion of the spout, that's all metal.

This piece right here, it's going to be a plastic piece. That's just this internal piece here. Internal components is going to be a combination of plastic and metal. The backing plate, the threaded mounting nuts, that's plastic. Again, hybrid construction means both plastic and metal construction.

It feels like a really nice, well-built heavy-duty faucet. I really like the metal construction on the outside. It makes it feel like it's all metal but again, it is hybrid. The unit's going to feature a low-flow aerator that has a flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute. A really nice design. This unit can be used with a pop-up drain.

Here on the back it's got the area for the drain pin to come through. That's where that would install. Drain assemblies are sold separately. They are available at etrailer.com. The unit's going to feature a nice chrome finish, gives it a really nice clean look. When it comes to the mounting area, that's going to require two holes for your installation.

Your holes need to have a diameter of 1 inch and they're going to need to be separated on center by right on 4 inches. These connection points are going to measure about 2 inches long. These are going to be the connection points for the hot and cold water lines. I also want to point out that right here it has a blue and red indicator. That's going to indicate hot and cold. These are going to have an outer diameter of 13/16 of an inch with an inner diameter of 1/2 inch. If we take a look at just the base of the unit front to back, we're looking at about 2-3/8, 2-5/16 of an inch, right in that area. Going this direction the base is going to give us a measurement of right around 6-1/4 inches. I also took an overall height so what I did was I put this on a countertop. I measured from the countertop and from the bottom of the base to the tallest point of the faucet which on this one is going to be the handle. I got a measurement of around 6-5/8. I also took a straight line measurement up and down from where the water would come out to the countertop height and that gave me a measurement of around 3 inches. The overall depth of the unit from very front to very back measured around 6-1/4 inches and then I also measured from the center of the base or the center of where it mounts to the center of where water comes out and got a measurement of around 4-5/8 of an inch. A very simple installation. Again, it does come with the backing plate and it's going to come with rubber washers. The unit would go through the mounting surface and on the underside of the mounting surface is when you would install the plastic mounting nuts. That's going to secure everything for a nice and tight installation. Again, the hybrid construction is very nice. Completely lead-free design and it has the feel and functionality of a fully metal faucet but it's also light weight and perfect for use in your RV or camper. That's going to do it for today's look at the Phoenix faucet single handle RV bathroom faucet.
