Tub/Shower Faucet
Tub/Shower Faucet
- Single Handle vs. Double Handle: Most RV showers feature a single-handle faucet for controlling both water temperature and volume with one lever. Double-handle faucets, with separate knobs for hot and cold water, are less common but may be found in some older RVs.
- Mixer Valve: This valve regulates the water temperature by blending hot and cold water.
- Sprayer vs. Showerhead: The shower faucet may come with a detachable showerhead or a fixed-mount version. Detachable sprayers offer more flexibility for rinsing.
- Material: Shower faucets in RVs are typically constructed from durable plastic or metal to withstand moisture and frequent use. Chrome or nickel finishes are popular choices for their aesthetics and resistance to corrosion.
