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
Really the faucet was installed last May. The RV has not had water to it. So have never tested the faucet. It was part of on going refurbishing of a 22 year old Class B+ RV that I bought a year ago. Also part of this work we've ordered and installed from e-trailer your Dometic 310 toilet, a MaxAir Fan, & other items all installed but some untested. The fan works great. The toilet seems to as we made sure the black and grey tanks were cleaned out well by pouring water down the drains and toilet. We will repeat this spring when it comes out of winter storage. The fresh water tank was removed to repair water damage below it and in the wall it blocked both. We also had to sanitize the tank due to mold entering it where previous owners allowed the air intake hose to flap about un-attached causing the leaks and water damage to the floor. We know the Ford Engine is in decent condition but due to so much unexpected work we are behind a good year getting Miss Mini Mo on the road and fully activated. She's come a long ways & with your help with parts like this. Which btw was almost identical to the one removed. We'll treat her with far more respect than the previous owners have. Thanks e-trailer no doubt we'll be back for more STUFF once we bring her out of winter storage.
I replaced the faucet in my 2014 Skyline SkyCat with this faucet. Two great features here: 1) The best feature is the attachment point for the shower hose. This one is on top of the faucet instead of underneath it. When you shut off the water it all drains down and out of the hose, making winterization a breeze. I don't have to detach the hose to drain it. 2) Since the shower hose attaches at the top, it will effectively be a little bit longer which is nice for taller people.
Lauren (customer service agent) was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to my questions to include my special request for expedited shipping (something not specifically listed on the web site). In addition, the details of the product were great; such that the specifications listed ensured that the product would be a applicable replacement for the defective item in our RV (unlike another, similar product that I ordered from an alternate source that didn't fit and will now have to be returned). Thanks Lauren.
Used it in my boat shower and it worked perfectly. Good quality and reasonable price. Easy to install and looks great
Couldn't find it anywhere else. trailer will be my go to place.
Good replacement. I would recommend this to all who need a new faucet.
Because etrailer orders are late and I’m not getting anything else there. They should ship their stuff with another shipper they will ship with UPS and that sucks.
It was just like old one looks great and fits right in holes that were there.Alex was very helpful and oder came the day he said it would.It looks good in shower.Would buy again.
Faucet works great. Looks nice. Good order time
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.
i contacted etrailer and Bobbie answer the phone she heip me place the order and it fit perfect and the shipping was fast thank you Bobbie and others for putting my order together for your helpand understanding. John M.
Very poor construction ,it was fine at first but later, it would not shut off completely causing a lot of water loss.
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.
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!
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!
Works great! We used it to create a handwashing place for our travel that does not have a sink We plan to buy another for our new to us motorhome.
well made for the price. brass water inlets not plastic
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!
The faucet is much better quality than the one in my new LQ trailer. I liked that it has brass fittings instead of plastic. However...the connectors to the water lines are only 1.5" instead of 1.75" long. Connecting them with the (12B) plastic lock nut would not allow the faucet to be flush with the wall and the wall plate now has an opening that will allow water to get inside the wall. So I have to decide if caulking will work to seal the opening, get smaller lock nuts, or return this.
Really like that the valve body is all brass. Bought it to replace the plastic factory valve. Received good service from etrailer ordering the valve
My camper has a tankless hot water heater, and this faucet is what I needed to control the temp.
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 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.
