Can the PF223404 Phoenix Faucets Catalina RV Shower Valve Handles be pointed down in off position or do they have to point out when off and down when on?

Hello Daniel.

Yes, there is a way to change the off position on the Phoenix Faucets Catalina # PF223404. First you will need to remove the handle, you can do so by loosening the set screw. Then you will need to locate the lift stop washer. Then carefully remove the lift stop washer (usually just a simple lift, and turn) and turn it to the opposite direction. When you have the handle off, you will see that the washer can only move a quarter turn, you just move it all the way over. Changing the handle can be a little technical, and we do not recommend modification on any product without reaching out to the manufacturer first as it might void the warranty.
