Chicago Faucets 1-022BL100JKABNF
The Chicago Faucets 1-022BL100JKABNF is a contractor-grade bulk pack containing 100 genuine OEM nut retainers. This specialized brass component is a core internal element of the Quaturn™ and XT compression cartridges. The retainer serves as the housing that secures the rubber seat washer to the bottom of the stem assembly. By holding the washer firmly in place, it ensures consistent vertical compression against the faucet seat, providing a positive, drip-free shut-off. As an ECAST® certified product, these retainers are manufactured from high-quality, lead-free brass, ensuring full compliance with federal and state safe drinking water standards (NSF/ANSI 372).
Expert Insight:
The 1-022 retainer is the "anchor" of your faucet's sealing mechanism. In high-use environments, the threads on the retainer or the metal itself can become corroded or mineral-encrusted, making it difficult to replace just the rubber washer. The 1-022BL100JKABNF bulk pack is essential for facilities that prefer to rebuild their cartridges rather than replace the entire brass unit. Maintenance Tip: When rebuilding a cartridge, always inspect the retainer for sharp edges or "wire-drawing" that could slice into a new washer. Replacing the retainer along with the washer ensures a factory-level seal every time. Need the matching washers to go with these? Call ProDryers at 888-503-7937!
