Video Transcript for Review of Empire Faucets RV Showers and Tubs - Biscuit Colored Handheld Shower Valve - EM42FR

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at this Empire Faucets RV Shower Valve with Vacuum Breaker. This is going to allow you to upgrade your shower valve in your RV or camper. It does have a non-metallic abs plastic construction. You can see it does have this biscuit finish, which is not quite white.

It's a little bit more on the yellow or tan side. So hopefully that will match with your current setup and fixtures. This does have the single handle teacup style handle that will allow us to turn on our water. And as we turn it counter-clockwise, it will get hotter and hotter. So we have a nice, fine tune handle on how hot or cold our water is gonna be.

This does have a washerless ball valve that's going to provide smooth turning action and prevent unwanted dripping. It does have a 3-quarter turn single mixing valve that provides that easy temperature control to ensure that your shower is just the right temperature and the diamond ceramic disc cartridge is going to be maintenance free, creates a nice watertight seal when the faucet is turned off. Our vacuum breaker is going to allow you to attach a handheld shower set. That shower set is not included, but you might already have one, should just work with the standard half inch male MPSM here. And that's pretty standard for most of them.

So if you already have one should work there, if not, they are sold separately. That's going to help prevent any backflow contamination of your clean water supply. So it's gonna ensure that the water is only going out to your shower set and not coming back in where it could potentially contaminate your water supply. To get this installed, it's gonna be pretty straightforward, and you've got a 2 hole installation here for your 2 half inch male MPSM connections. This is going to be a wall mount.

So it's going to mount pretty flush up against your wall. The distance between our inlet shanks here, center to center is right at 4 inches. You can see this does have a deck plate and these mounting nuts included. So you can get that snug up against your wall. They do recommend having some tile and tub caulk, to kind of seal that finish, make sure that the installation is gonna be nice and watertight. So water's not gonna get back behind there and cause problems in your wall. Again, that is sold separately, but it should be very easy to pick up some caulk to finish off that installation. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty. So if you we're to ever have any issues with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. We're always happy to work with our customers, make sure that you're getting good quality products and having a good experience. So overall, I think this is gonna be a really nice option. If you have that biscuit color for some of your other bathroom fixtures, this should blend in for you and provide that handheld shower attachments so that you can get that temperature just right. So that's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
