Dometic™ AC542 Fold-Down RV Kitchen Sink Faucet - Hot/Cold Mixer Tap

After searching possible stores in my home state of Wyoming I contacted Panther RV Products and they had exactly what I needed. You can order online but they suggested I order it over the phone, which I did. They told me it would reach me in 5-7 business days, but it only took 3 days. Very friendly people and great customer service. Will definitely will order from them again when the need arises.

it worked like it should

I recently purchased the AC542 faucet to replace the original faucet that we got with our Dometic UK MO9722RUS cooktop /sink. The original was all plastic and cracked after getting frozen. This faucet is very well made; all brass and beautifully chromed. It was easy to install except for the o-rings and foam spacers that came with it are useless (but not really necessary). The connection hoses have 1/2" female NPT fittings and are rather short, so plan on a trip to the plumbing store to get some adapter fittings. Other than that, I'm really happy with it. The mixer valve works fine, it looks great, and you can tighten the folding spigot so it's maintainable. Panther RV was great as always and pointed out that there are links to what faucets are compatible with the sinks they sell. Thanks for the great service!

This is an ok product. The construction is good, but the hoses are very short. Installation instructions are virtually non-existent describe the hose fitting diameters, which proved frustrating to find a workable solution to lengthen them without trial and error in the store. There is nothing that describes which line supplies hot and which cold, and no explanation on how the variety of orings are to be installed; one is too small to belong to this faucet. The backflow valves in the end of the hose need to be removed to fit on a standard female fitting. The contol handle is unnecessarily tiny. There are no dimensions of the faucet provided on the website prior to purchase and the projection of the spout is further into our sink front to back than I prefer. Had I had that dimensional information, I would not have purchased this faucet as my sink depth is somewhat narrow. I also find it odd that this part cannot be found on Dometic's website. You're on your own when buying it. Construction is good and heavy. Lacking dimensions, instructions, short hoses, small handle, deep reach, very expensive at $250 - I'd say 2 out of 5 for overall value.

I did need to buy an adapter to make the connections. A regular kitchen countertop extension kit did the trick.

The faucet was relatively easy to install. The hoses were substantially shorter than original equipment and barely reached the fittings. The control mechanism was very tight. This caused the the user to apply substantial pressure on the valve. Over the course of one weeks use the valve loosened from the tightening stem and the faucet became loose in the hole. I would not recommend this faucet due to this particular design or quality control flaw. This faucet is quite expensive and I would expect a superior product.

It would be nice if the risers were longer and if the risers and threaded connections were marked with hot and cold. Install instructions in user comments were more helpful than those included with product.

This is a really nice faucet. Fits nicely into the sink bowl when traveling, handle is big enough to work with and the mixing valve does a nice job.

You know when you order from unfamiliar websites, the shipping can take FOREVER! Not the case with Panther RV, order was received and I got my parts within days. Great communication on the shipping and I appreciate them having quality Dometic products for sale.
