Dual-handle, plastic and brass 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.
Features:
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.

Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and today we're taking a look at the Phoenix Faucets RV Shower Valve with Vacuum Breaker. This is going to be a dual knob handle with a Chrome base. And the really nice thing about this is that it actually has brass compression valve stems. So these are going to be able to fully turn on and off, and be a lot nicer than your typical OEM parts that are just made of plastic. So we don't have to worry about our threads getting stripped out, just by installing this in place. It's going to be a lot more durable and long lasting.
I'm just going to take the mounting nuts off and that backing plate, or the deck plate, so you can get a better look at those. So it really is made a metal, definitely a big improvement there.As far as the front of our system here, we'll have our two handles. They are labeled hot and cold, got a little red ring around the hot, blue ring around the cold. And Phoenix does recommend that you install the vacuum breaker in the down position, like I have it here. That's to make sure that that vacuum breaker does its job in preventing any kind of contamination from your shower head, from sucking up your dirty water and getting that into your clean water supply.
That's what that vacuum breaker is designed to do. It prevents any siphoning of that dirty water. So to make, most effective, you want to have it in the down position. You can install it like this, but chances are that vacuum breaker won't be as effective.It does, however, make it a little cleaner install as far as if you're going to just have your shower head coming up. And if you're never going to have a situation where that shower head is going to be submerged in water, it's probably fine.
But the whole point of that vacuum breaker is to prevent that. So just something to keep in mind there. If you do decide to switch this over and you want to keep the hot handle on the left side and the cold and the other, you can just pop these little caps off to switch them around. So just a couple of notes on how to do that.Now, as far as our measurements, we will have our two stems to install. The distance between those senators center is four inches.
The outer diameter for each one is going to be 13 sixteenths, so just over three quarters of an inch. The inner diameter is a half inch, and that's the same for both. The distance that this goes back, or the length of our threads, is an inch and a half. The total length for the unit is going to be four and a half inches. And from the top of our handles to the bottom of the base is going to be three inches, so that's how far it's going to stick out from our wall. Our base measures six and a quarter inches long, from end to end. It kind of bows out a little bit on either sides, that's how we get that six and a quarter measurement.The base is about two inches wide all on its own. With that vacuum breaker, it's about two and three quarter inches wide. So the vacuum breaker sticks up about three quarters inches, or about five eighths inches from the top of our unit there. The outer diameter of that vacuum breaker is 13 sixteenths. So that should fit with a lot of handheld showers out there. They are sold separately. You can find a lot of options here at etrailer.com, different finishes, different styles. So definitely check those out here. While you're looking, you can also find some silicone sealant to complete your install, to make sure that you don't get any water seepage into your shower unit. We do have black and white silicone sealant available, because this does call for using tub and tile caulk, and typically that's going to be something that's silicone or latex. So you can just pick up that silicone sealant here from us at etrailer, and not have to make another stop for getting your whole setup made. Comes with a one-year warranty, certified and compliant with CSA and also the International Plumbers Association. So it should be a great addition or upgrade for any RV, fifth wheel trailer, or anything else out there. That's going to do it for our look at the Phoenix Faucets RV Shower Valve with Vacuum Breaker..

Alex helped me and answered questions. Great customer service!
Great follow up with purchase. I will start my searches on etrailer.com first when needing something!
Quality built. Much more substantial than your standard RV handrail. Easy install
Replaces original shower valve perfectly. Installation was easy as no cutting or adjustment was required. Original installer used silicone to seal edges against shower and we decided to do the same.
Only time will tell. I installed the shower faucet yesterday after numerous trips to the hardware store. The problem was not the faucet but the PEX water lines in the 5th wheel. Successful installation (I think). Thanks etrailer for getting the faucet to me in a timely manner. I wanted a brass innards faucet and you were able to supply it!
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
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.
Tough time these days, but the staff at etrailer keeps going. This was easy to order and communications was very good. My order selected was quality plus. I am a return customer and hope to return again!
I was hoping it was more like my RV vanity sink faucet it is not it’s exactly like my existing shower faucet. So therefor I will not install it at this time!!!! etrailers service has been very good as usual !!
Very good quality. Very easy to install. When installing you’re able to put the valve up or down. My valve is facing upwards because hot water was on the right side in Coldwater on the left side. I made it very convenient. Highly recommend this product.Fittings are all brass no plastic.
Very nice quality and fast delivery. Much better quality shower valve than what was originally installed in my Riverside Whitewater Retro Trailer.
Exactly what we were looking for in a high end replacement part that installed easily and is of much higher quality than the typical bottom of the barrel rv parts you’re seeing so much of
Purchased a Phoenix shower valve from E Trailer about a year ago. Easy install and works perfect after about 5 trips.
Impressed with the quality of this faucet - Would definitely recommend to anyone replacing an RV shower faucet
I installed this shower faucet about 1 year ago and it is still working good.
Faucet works great and was easy to install, after 1 year of service still no problems at all, No leaks and still looks new. very good value for the money and I would purchase one again if needed.
Very solid. Worth the money.
Easy to install, and no more squeaking every time I turn the water on in the shower. High quality still looks new.
Very good quality with brass valve assembly. Much better than stock unit.
Very pleased with the product. Very quick delivery. Excellent service and great salesperson that I talked with when ordering.
heavy duty and so much better than any other faucet i have seen for RVs
Can't say much until use
