Dual-handle, plastic RV shower valve lets you add a handheld shower set (sold separately) to complete your shower setup. It also has a vacuum breaker that prevents contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply.

Specs:
The vacuum breaker lets you attach a handheld shower set (sold separately) to make cleaning mud and sand off the kids, pets, and shower walls even easier. The vacuum breaker also has an anti-siphon device - a small air hole that drains water back out of the hose to prevent your dirty shower water from contaminating your clean water supply.
Using the standard NPSM inlet shanks, slide the new valve and deck plate in place through the already existing mounting holes. 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.

Dual-handle, plastic RV shower valve lets you add a handheld shower set (sold separately) to complete your shower setup. It also has a vacuum breaker that prevents contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply.Product was as described. Easy install if you have basic skills. Product was a nice upgrade to the old faucet due to no tub/shower diverter which will save me water when dry camping (water always runs through the faucet even when using the shower wand).
Looks awesome and feels well made as far as rv faucets go. Have not used it yet so i cant attest for funtion
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
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.

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!

We had changed our shower head to chrome and needed to change out the the dual handle faucet to chrome and this worked well.

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.

An outstanding brass compression valve product to replace the plastic exterior shower on my 2004 Motorhome. Outstanding value , ease of website, and delivery was expedient.
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.

Used this to replace our handheld shower in our truck camper. This is a much better option
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
Excellent faucet! Really well made & extremely easy to install. We had ignored the leaks from the old faucet for months thinking it would be a major installation hassle, but should have used etrailer right away. This faucet is also much better looking, too! Highly recommended.
Vicki - 05/19/2022Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
It is not what I wanted because the fitting it is too long and made of brass from back that cannot be cut or flared to fix, I am going to need a refund on this one
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.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
Quality (brass) is there for the long haul, old school tech used (replaceable rubber washers) Much better than plastic faucets that last a few years and then become brittle and hard to turn handles. Very pleased!
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
This faucet for seamlessly in my RV shower without leakage. Easy install and this faucet is made well. It will last many years to come
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
I like the look of this faucet but not the feel or function. It is all plastic and extremely light. The handles feel like they could snap off if the grandchild gets hold and pulls while in the tub. Also there is something not right with the way the valves mix the water. The hot side seems ok but the cold can be all the way on and just a trickle of water. turn it on and off and it seems to correct. Because of this its very tricky to get the water temp right when using the diverter to the shower. I would return it but its already installed.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
Product is fine, shipping took way to long.
This was the only place I found this particular model.
Great quality looking part, I'm sure it'll go for 20 years.
It looks like you might be able to actually replace seals whenyouneed too.....maybe?
I'll get back on that.

I have a leak, not sure if it is faucet or a connection. Will report back when I get a chance to check it out. Nice looking Faucet.

Much improved replacement for out trailer shower controls. Installed easily and perfectly matched all connections and fittings. Nice to have metal connections instead of plastic. Good product.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
I bought this faucet for my camper because the faucet that was installed from the manufacturer was leaking and we just couldn't get it to stop dripping no matter what we tried. First off, it was difficult to find a faucet with the D-spud needed for the shower diverter. I would have thought they would be available at the local Camping World or other local RV dealer but they all said they would have to order one and it was going to cost about 3 times what this one cost. It does not look exactly like the original but the finish is close and the knobs are fine since they are clear.
Once it was installed it did have now sold that camper and bought a new one but the new owner says it is still going strong.

Very easy to install. Only had one lever on the original faucet, loving the dual lever handle.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
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
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
Great service as always with etrailer. The faucet fit and works nice the only issue it is not white like the pic and description shows, it is more of an off white but it still looks ok in my shower.
Review from a similar Shower Diverter Valve in RV Showers and Tubs
It's beautiful and is a good quality plastic. It's hard to tell it's not "real" chrome! I love Phoenix brand a lot. Nice sink & shower upgrades to my rv so far!
