Bathroom Thermostatic Shower Mixer Wall Mount Hot Cold Water Showering Faucet Temperature Control Valve

My wife and I love this shower faucet. I lived in an RV fulltime for over 25 years and now live part time in one. I do this for business. I have had over 15 RVs. Motorhomes from an older Newell, 2 Country Coaches, a Safari and a Newmar. I have also had 5th wheels such as a Mobile Suites and a Montana (absolute garbage). I say this to show I have had a few RV experiences. The reason why I like this faucet so much is because it does exactly what they say it should, it keeps a consistent temperature even if you shut the shower head off for a couple of minutes. Another thing that's wonderful with it that was totally unexpected is that the faucet totally does away with the pulsating of the fresh water pump. Now all that's left is to see how long it lasts. My only complaint isn't with the faucet, but with the difficulty I had installing it in my Country Coach Intrigue motorhome. There were 2 adapters from the 3/4 on the faucet to the 1/2 inch female. I then needed threaded pipe to use the old faucet nuts to tighten it up to the wall and then attach the supply lines. The fittings that come with it were useless for my application. Because the faucet supply is wider than the old RV cheapo faucet I had to use some beauty rings that worked very well and looks good. I will give two Amazon links for what I used. The item below that I used was 3 inches long instead of 2.5 inches. I needed the longer length. https://www.amazon.com/Plumbing-Male-NPT-Seamless-Leakproof/dp/B0BZCWB3MB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1QSDC5WS8ZEO&keywords=%282+pcs%29+Brass+Pipe+Adapter+Plumbing%2C+G+Thread+1%2F2%22+Male+to+NPT+Thread+1%2F2%22+Male+Pipe+Fitting+Adapter%2C+3+inch+Length%2C+Seamless+and+Leakproof+%283%22+Length%29&qid=1705536507&s=hi&sprefix=2+pcs+brass+pipe+adapter+plumbing%2C+g+thread+1%2F2+male+to+npt+thread+1%2F2+male+pipe+fitting+adapter%2C+3+inch+length%2C+seamless+and+leakproof+3+length+%2Ctools%2C243&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Bathroom-Faucet-Remodeling-Gasket/dp/B0C4PW46DD/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2SWK5IDXYUV2I&keywords=Metal%2BTub%2BSpout%2BCover%2BRing%2C%2BChrome%2BBathroom%2BFaucet%2BRemodeling%2BWall%2BPlate%2Bwith%2BFoam%2BGasket%2C%2B1-1%2F2%2BInch%2BID%2Band%2B3-5%2F8%2BInch%2BOD%2B(2%2BPack)&qid=1705536381&s=industrial&sprefix=metal%2Btub%2Bspout%2Bcover%2Bring%2C%2Bchrome%2Bbathroom%2Bfaucet%2Bremodeling%2Bwall%2Bplate%2Bwith%2Bfoam%2Bgasket%2C%2B1-1%2F2%2Binch%2Bid%2Band%2B3-5%2F8%2Binch%2Bod%2B2%2Bpack%2B%2Cindustrial%2C446&sr=1-1-catcorr&th=1

I love this faucet- the 5th of this style. This 6 inch model has controls that are easier to read than some similar 4 inch models, and the knobs are easier to turn with wet or soapy hands. I like that the hose connection is on the bottom, where the hose naturally falls. The hose connection threads are pretty short though, so you may need extra washers to seal your hose. These faucets allow us to reduce the volume of water without changing the temperature and also they compensate for changing temperature of incoming water. The unit was packaged well and delivered in perfect condition. Caveat- the installer needs to be ready to do some freelance plumbing if you are doing a swap over. I find these are pretty easy to convert by using a plastic cutting board to fab a new faceplate for mounting over the old cutouts. I normally need to make new longer nipples to go through the mount and still leave adequate threads for a sharkbite or pex adapter. The 90 degree pex adapter works well in tight spaces. Refer to "The Kuhl Odyssey" on You tube.

Installed one in 2022 and was very happy with it. I had to make the 4” holes in the shower wall wider to accommodate it then manufacture some big washers for the back side. So I can’t go back to standard. It worked perfectly for just over a year and quit mixing hot and cold properly. Running vinegar through it was only a temporary fix so I replaced in July 2023. The replacement has the same issue. I disassembled it to get to the screens where it mixes and cleaned out some calcium then submerged everything in vinegar for two hours. Back together without a problem and hot water is back.

Bought this for my RV due to having issues getting a nice solid temp without changing the temp. The install was easy as can be. No leaks no issues. The unit is very solid heavy and well made. I have used it for more then a dozen showers so far and no issues in temp or control. Only thing to say is that the hot side of the metal gets warm as can be.

Works great . Replacement for my boat. I recommend it.

Easy to install. No faults at all. Beautifull Perfect performance

SHORT LIFE AND NO WARRANTY!!! This is the third time I am replacing this faucet. First one lasted three years, second one lasted one year, and this one? after 3 months of very moderate use is malfunctioning. The seller is giving me the runaround, pretending he can't find my order. It was a mistake to buy this. for the cost of three of these, I could have bought a brand name plumbing fixture which usually have a lifetime warranty.

I use this for my dog grooming tub. So, it's getting used all day every day. With that in mind, they typically last about a year for me. I have had 3 now and this most recent 1 I got 1 year ago came with issues. The threading in the temperature control knob was not deep enough so when I turned the knob it wouldn't catch the threading on the cartridge. I did what I had to rig it up because I was in a pinch. The faucet is now giving out and I don't think I will be buying from here again unfortunately.
