Video Transcript for Review of Empire Faucets RV Showers and Tubs - Brushed Nickel Handheld Shower Valve - EM62FR

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Empire Faucets RV shower valve with vacuum breaker. This is going to allow you to upgrade the bathroom shower valve in your RV or camper. This is a non-metallic ABS plastic construction, so it is gonna be very lightweight. You're not gonna have to worry about rust and corrosion.

It's gonna hold up well for you in that way. And it does have this brushed nickel finish, so it is gonna look very nice for you as well. You can see, we do have this single handle with the teacup style and that's going to allow us to control that water temperature. So we, when we have it in the down position, it's gonna be off. And then as we turn it counterclockwise, it'll get hotter and hotter for us.

This does have a washerless ball valve that's designed to provide nice, smooth turning action and prevent unwanted dripping. It's got a 3/4 turn single mixing valve that provides easy temperature control, so you can be sure to get just the right temperature that you need. And it does have a diamond ceramic disc cartridge that is gonna be maintenance-free. Creates a watertight seal when the faucet is turned off. We do also have the vacuum breaker that's going to allow you to attach a handheld shower set that is not included.

It is sold separately. That's going to make sure that the water is only going out to the handheld shower. It's gonna prevent any backflow contamination to your clean water supply. So, really nice option there. This is gonna be a wall mount installation.

So, you are gonna need two holes for your two inlet shanks here. Both inlet shanks are your standard half inch, male NPSM connections, so it should work out to fit right into what you already have. The distance between the shanks here, center to center is four inches. And you can see this does include the deck plate and the two mounting nuts to get this mounted snugly to your wall. They do recommend adding some tile and tub caulk around the edges there just to make sure everything is properly sealed off, so you're not gonna have to worry about water getting back behind and causing mold and that sort of thing. So that, that is not included either. You will have to pick that up separately, but a good idea to put some caulk around here to finish up your installation. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty, so you can trust that if you we're to have any problems with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us.
