Function Description

The Dura Faucet DF-SA150 is a single-lever shower faucet designed for recreational vehicles (RVs). Its primary function is to control the flow and temperature of water for showering. The single-lever design allows for easy adjustment of both water temperature and volume with one hand. The faucet is equipped with inlet tubes that connect to the RV's hot and cold water supply lines, mixing them to deliver water at the desired temperature. It also features a diverter mechanism to direct water to a connected sprayer, enabling a complete showering experience. The product is designed to provide a leak- and drip-free operation during normal use, ensuring efficient water management within the RV. Its components are engineered for durability, with a focus on material and manufacturing workmanship to ensure long-term performance. The faucet's design prioritizes ease of installation and user-friendly operation, making it a practical choice for RV owners.

Usage Features

The Dura Faucet DF-SA150 is designed for straightforward installation and operation. Before installation, it is crucial to turn off the main water supply to the RV and remove any existing fixture. The installation process involves placing a sealing gasket against the wall, inserting the faucet inlet tubes through the gasket into the wall, and then positioning the faucet. Accessing the faucet mounting nuts from behind the wall is often necessary. Once the mounting nuts are tightened, the RV's water supply lines (hot on the left, cold on the right) are connected to the faucet's inlet tubes. It is important to hand-tighten these nuts over the washer and then tighten them an additional 1/4 turn with a wrench to prevent leaks, being careful not to overtighten.

After connecting the water supply lines, the next step is to attach the sprayer to the faucet top. Before using the faucet, it is recommended to turn on both hot and cold water for 30 to 60 seconds to flush out any potential debris from the lines. This ensures clean water delivery and helps prevent blockages. The single lever allows users to easily adjust the water temperature by moving it left or right, and the water volume by moving it up or down. The diverter function, typically activated by a pull-up or push-down mechanism on the faucet, directs water flow to the attached shower sprayer, providing flexibility in showering. The faucet's design aims to provide a comfortable and convenient showering experience in an RV environment.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the Dura Faucet DF-SA150 is essential to preserve its appearance and functionality. The product's finish is designed to retain its sheen for many years, and proper care is crucial for this. The manufacturer recommends using mild soap and water for cleaning the faucet. This gentle approach helps prevent damage to the finish. It is explicitly stated that abrasive cleaners, ammonia, bleach, acids, waxes, alcohol, solvents, or any other products not recommended for plated metal or plastic finishes should never be used. Using such harsh cleaners will scratch the finish or cause other damage and will void the product's warranty. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water will help remove water spots and grime, keeping the faucet looking new.

In terms of warranty, Dura Faucet offers a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser for as long as they own their RV. This warranty covers the product being leak- and drip-free during normal use, and all parts and finishes being free from defects in material and manufacturing workmanship. Plated metal and plastic finishes specifically have a one-year warranty. If a leak or drip develops during the warranty period, Dura Faucet will provide necessary parts free of charge to restore the product to good working condition. They will also replace any part or finish found defective under normal installation, use, and service. Proof of purchase (original sales receipt) is required for all warranty claims. The warranty does not cover defects or damages caused by product abuse, misuse, installation error, or the use of unapproved cleaners. Dura Faucet is not responsible for labor charges or damages incurred during installation, repair, or replacement, nor for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. To initiate a warranty claim, customers should write to Dura Faucet, explaining the defect and including proof of purchase, name, address, and telephone number. An email address (warranty@durafaucet.com) is also provided for warranty inquiries. This comprehensive warranty and clear maintenance guidelines aim to ensure customer satisfaction and the longevity of the faucet.
