Chicago Faucets 1-006JKABNF
The Chicago Faucets 1-006JKABNF is a genuine OEM replacement spout packing (washer seal) designed to create a watertight seal at the pivot point of a swing spout. This internal component is installed between the faucet body and the spout nut, ensuring that water remains contained within the spout assembly even as it rotates. Manufactured from high-quality, durable rubber, this packing is engineered to withstand the constant friction of swivel motion and the thermal stress of hot water. As an ECAST® certified part, it contains less than 0.25% lead by weighted average, meeting all federal and state requirements for potable water safety (NSF/ANSI 61 and 372).
Expert Insight:
The 1-006JKABNF is the primary defense against water leaking from the base of your spout when the faucet is turned on. Because swing spouts are moved constantly in commercial kitchens, this rubber packing eventually thins or develops 'flat spots,' leading to a puddle on your deck. Maintenance Tip: When you replace this packing, always inspect the 1-104 Spout Gland as well. While the packing provides the seal, the gland provides the structural support; if the gland is worn, the spout will wobble and ruin your new 1-006 seal in no time. A small amount of waterproof plumber's grease on this washer during installation will significantly extend its life and make the spout swing much more smoothly. Need help with a bulk order?
