SHOWER HOSE VACUUM BREAKER
After using the shower, you may notice water
dripping from the shower faucet assembly. The
dripping results when vacuum in the shower hose
(after closing the shower faucet) slowly releases
and allows water remaining in the hose to drain
down. This is a normal function of the shower
valve assembly and is not a leak or defect.
The International Association of Plumbing
and Mechanical Officials Standard TSC 21-85
(PAR. 4.3) states:
“Shower heads which incorporate shutoff
valves, shall have a minimum “drip rate” of one
(1) quart in thirty (30) minutes.”
NOTE: If items are placed into the shower tub
before shower valve vacuum release is
complete, they may become wet.
The label shown below is attached on or near
the faucet to explain the operation of the vacuum
breaker assembly.
EXTERIOR SHOWER
The exterior auxiliary shower feature allows
you to do things such as rinse off sand or salt after
a swim, rinse off muddy boots, or bathe your pet
outside the coach.
It is located in the water center compartment.
For your convenience, there is also a soap dis-
penser and paper towel dispenser.
WASTE WATER SYSTEM
(HOLDING TANKS)
The drainage system is self-contained and
uses two separate holding tanks to contain the
waste water until it can be dumped at an appro-
priate waste water disposal site. This means you
can use the toilet, sinks and shower even in areas
where utility hookups are not available.
For your protection, this faucet is equipped
with a vacuum breaker (back flow preventer)
to prevent contamination of your potable wa-
ter supply. The water in the hand held shower
hose will drain through this vacuum breaker
when the faucet is turned off. This is not a
leak. This drainage is inherent in the design of
the vacuum breaker, and is evidence that it is
functioning properly.
