Specs:
The vacuum breaker on this shower valve lets you attach a handheld shower set (sold separately). It has an anti-siphon device that will prevent the backflow contamination of your clean water supply. The anti-siphon device consists of an air hole that will drain water back out of the hose. Because of this, the vacuum breaker must be pointing downward.
This valve lets you upgrade the shower valve in your RV or camper. Using the standard NPSM inlet shanks, slide the new valve and deck plate in place through the mounting holes. Then hand-tighten the included mounting nuts against the backside of the wall, and connect the hot and cold water lines. The use of tub and tile caulk (not included) is required.

Today we're going to take a look at the Phoenix Faucets, Catalina, RV Shower Valve with the dual lever handles in rubbed bronze finish. Now this Catalina series value will let you upgrade the bathroom shower valve in you RV or camper. If you notice on the bottom, it has this vacuum breaker. This will allow you to attach a hand-held shower set to this faucet. The shower set we do sell separately on our website. And what this vacuum breaker does, it prevents the backflow contamination of your clean water supply.This is a dual handle design with the lever style handles.
And what's nice, they use a quarter turn cartridge stem which enables the faucet to fully turn on and off with just a quarter of a turn. Has a washer-less design so it reduces friction, daily wear for long lasting durability. The whole faucet is a non-metallic ABS plastic construction.On the back here it's a one piece spin welded palm underbody and inlet shank. It has a nice rubbed bronzed finish to it. It is a wall mount, two hole installation design.
The inlet shanks for the hot and cold water have standard male NPSM connections. Does include the deck plate, the two mounting nuts with the rubber washers for installation.Now they due require a tile and tub caulk for installing this but it is not included. A few specs on this faucet. The flow rate is 2.5 gallons per minute. Give you a few dimensions on this.
The overall width with the handles in this position edge to edge is right at 9.5" wide. We turn them down, the height of it from the edge of the handle to the top of the base is going to right at 3 3/4" tall. The depth from the handle to the back of the base is going to be right at 3 1/4" deep. The base itself, width on that, edge to edge is 6 1/4". The depth on it is 2 1/8" deep.
These inlet shanks for the hot and cold water, the distance between them, center to center is a standard 4" measurement and the length on the shanks is right at 1 1/2" long.But that should do it for the review on the Phoenix Faucets Catalina RV Shower Valve with the dual level handles in a rubbed bronze finish.

Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
We ordered a bronze faucet with a shower diverter. I had a hard time finding an oil rubbed bronze faucet that I liked. We've slowly been updating our fixtures, and this was a great choice! Good price, fast shipping. Very satisfied! Not the first time we've ordered from etrailer, and they'll be our go to for replacement parts.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
I originally bought a cheaper shower faucet from etrailer, but it was so unbelievably cheesy that I sent it back and bought this one. This has a brass valve body instead of plastic like the first one. I reversed the valve caps (hot and cold) so I could point the hose bib down which worked better for my setup. The valves are kind of rubbery feeling instead of a solid shutoff but it works.

I love, love, love the look of this shower faucet. You need to buy a separate shower head and hose kit. It really updates the look of our shower! It did take some work to install and a trip to a local RV store, but looks amazing and works great!

I do like the quarter turn version of the knobs - much easier to set the right shower temperature without wasting a lot of water. I also think the separate diverter control will last longer than one that is combined with the shower hose. Looks nice. etrailer is the best - fantastic communication

We recieved this product yesterday and just installed it. I cannot comment on its longevity due to that, but after using it, I gotta say it is a definite improvement to the factory install in our camper, both in looks AND function. Also, we upgraded our shower head to Oxygenics Body Spa and the brushed nickel of this faucet matches the brushed nickel shower head PERFECTLY! Very happy with this.

This faucet with shower attachment has a dedicated knob to divert water to to shower head. I've tried others where you pull up on the shower hose and it just leaked. This is better choice.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
I just received this faucet, I haven’t installed it yet but I can say the I am very pleased with the build quality, The solid brass valve components and chromed metal valve cover are solid. Clearly this product is worth the small extra cost over the cheep plastic construction you find supplied with the typical factory OEM replacements. This is going to be used to replace a valve for my outside shower / wash down bay and I did not want to worry about temperature extremes that are present in this location. I can tell this valve assembly is going to work just fine. I also want to give 5 stars for the very quick order turnaround and shipping. It has been difficult for many retailers to provide this level of service to considering the logistic and supply issues facing businesses in 2021. Clearly etrailer.com is on their game.

Removed bathroom sink from 2018 R Pod model 171. Replaced original bathroom faucet with Phoenix shower diverter faucet. Plastic cover over hole where sink waste pipe went through wall was made from part of sink plastic surround. 3 pics: Two after pictures (note vent pipe opening covered). Before picture showing original sink.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
I tried a cheaper plastic sink faucet with a D spud. It squirted water every time the spud was moved. So I bought this one which is solid brass. So now the shower has its own separate faucet, works great, no leaks.

Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
I’ve been updating a mobile home for one of my hands to move into. We realized the shower faucet was dripping and I believe I searched mobile home plumbing parts online and your website came up. After just a quick search the exact item by the very same brand came up. After receiving it we probably had it installed in five minutes. The price on this item was very reasonable and we are extremely satisfied. The follow up from your company took us by surprise. It seems there are very few companies that really want to give good customer service these days. Just know should I need future parts for this mobile home that I know where to order.

Perfect replacement for a 60 plus year old faucet in a travel trailer that has been renovated into a cottage/camp in Maine.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
Wanted to share my experience with etrailer.com. My new bike rack arrived damaged. I called Chrissy at etrailer.com immediately. After assessing the damage and viewing pictures with me in real time, she offered options and we came to a solution quickly. Chrissy and her team were able to ship my replacement rack that night as I explained I was in a serious time crunch. The replacement product was double cartoned and arrived in great shape. The customer service was excellent and pricing was competitive. I would recommend Chrissy and etrailer.com

Great quality faucet! This replaced an all plastic faucet that was cheaply made and had cracked.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
This brass faucet assembly was a very nice upgrade for the outdoor shower on our Viking tent trailer. The original cracked with an earlier than expected overnight freeze (17°) in Denver. With brass valves instead of plastic, the coupler assembly is sturdier, and the valves perform very smoothly. We replaced the hose with a longer stainless steel and a Fury showerhead to complete a nice upgrade. I highly recommend this item for inside or outside the trailer.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
FYI, here's what I've learned about Faucet in RV's. Most look great. Many are mad entirely of Plastic. In the winter, when temperatures drop below freezing, that plastic Faucet will fail. But you won't know it's failed until you start hunting for the source of the water leaking from the shower/toilet area coming out under the trailer. When you remove the plastic Faucet from the Shower stall, and examine the hidden part of the fixture you'll see a plastic tube running between the hot and cold faucet. This is the water mixing tube. It's sealed on each end with an O-Ring. However, the plastic tube is now Split due to water freezing inside of the tube. There is the source of your leak. And that's why you might want to change out the Plastic Faucet for the above product. It's all metal and doesn't split when the water freezes.
