Can I use a household Faucet in RV?
Need to replace a leaky faucet in Kitchen sink of Class A. Can I use a Faucet from Home Depot that is Residential grade instead of buying from an RV specific dealer like Camping World? Just not sure...

You seem to be talking about two different things:
1. the amount of "stagnant" water that sits in the pipes and must be emptied before the hot water can reach the faucet;
2. having the hot water pre-mixed to create the preferred temperature when it finally comes out of the faucet.
I can see your fancy faucet working for #2, but that stagnant water STILL has to come out of the pipes regardless of the temperature of the hot water.
For me, I see no need to have a pre-determined temperature. I choose my water temperature based on a multitude of choices - outside temp; what I'm cleaning; etc. And I don't waste endless time adjusting. I know how far to pull/turn the handle to get the basic temp I want. It takes half a second to do a fine adjustment of that. And I'm using the water that's coming out - too hot, too cold, or just right.
