Chicago Faucets 1-043JKABNF
The Chicago Faucets 1-043JKABNF is a genuine OEM replacement cap gasket designed to create a watertight seal between the faucet cartridge and the faucet body cap. This gasket is a critical component for any Chicago Faucets manual fixture, as it prevents water from leaking out of the top of the valve assembly when the faucet is in use. As an ECAST® certified part, it is manufactured with high-quality, lead-free materials to ensure compliance with NSF/ANSI 372 and all federal safe drinking water standards. Whether you are performing a routine rebuild or fixing a persistent "top-side" leak, this precision-molded gasket ensures a perfect fit and long-lasting performance.
Pro Tip:
The 1-043JKABNF is often the "forgotten" part of a faucet repair. While most people focus on the internal cartridge washers, this cap gasket is what prevents water from spraying out from under the decorative chrome cap. Over time, these gaskets can become brittle or flattened due to heat and compression. Pro Tip: Every time you remove a cartridge for service or replacement, you should install a fresh 1-043 gasket. It's a low-cost way to ensure you don't have to take the faucet apart a second time to stop a small nuisance leak. Need help identifying the correct gasket for your specific valve?
