Aquor Mixing Valve, Compact G1/2 inch Thermostatic Mixing Valve with Hot/Cold Temperature Control, Hydrant Pairing for Boat, Marine, and RV Outdoor Shower, Stainless Steel

The media could not be loaded. I'm currently in the process of building a custom travel trailer, and one of the essential components is a reliable shower valve. After researching various options, I chose the Aquor Mixing Valve, and while I haven't plumbed it into my system yet, I wanted to share my initial impressions after a thorough inspection.First ImpressionsRight out of the box, this valve exudes quality. My video walkthrough shows all the components, and I was immediately struck by the robust construction. This isn't a flimsy plastic valve; it's a solid piece of hardware. The weight of the unit speaks to its durability, and it's clear that Aquor hasn't cut any corners.Operation and DesignThe handle operates with a satisfyingly smooth action. There's no play or wobble, giving me confidence in its long-term performance. I particularly appreciate the slight, intentional stop when turning the handle to the hot or cold positions. This tactile feedback is a small detail that speaks to the thoughtful design. It prevents accidentally overshooting your desired temperature and adds to the overall premium feel.Materials and Build QualityThe included supply lines are high-quality stainless steel, a definite plus. I've seen other valves with cheaper, less durable lines, so this was a welcome sight. The valve body itself also appears to be made from quality materials, though I'll have a better sense of its long-term durability after it's been in use. Based on what I've seen so far, I have no reason to doubt its reliability.ExpectationsWhile I can't comment on its performance in a live water system yet, my initial impressions are extremely positive. The Aquor Mixing Valve looks and feels like a premium product. The smooth operation, quality materials, and thoughtful design make me confident that it will be a reliable part of my travel trailer for many years to come. I'm anticipating at least a decade of use, and likely more. I'll update this review after I've completed the installation and had a chance to use the valve in my travel trailer shower.ProsHeavy-duty constructionSmooth, precise handle operation with intentional stopsHigh-quality stainless steel supply linesVisibly well-marked hot/cold indicatorsPremium fit and finishI hope my video and comments help!

I really like the quality of this RV valve. It easily bolted to a piece of aluminum a simple 1 5/8 inch hole drilled through.Control the water flow like we needed and is a lot cleaner than our old set up
