Chicago Faucets 1-104JKABNF
The Chicago Faucets 1-104JKABNF is a genuine OEM spout gland designed to provide structural alignment and stability for commercial swing spouts. This precision-engineered component acts as a bearing surface, sitting between the spout and the faucet body to ensure the spout rotates smoothly without excessive play or "wobble." Specifically used in S6 Type spout assemblies, this gland works in conjunction with the split ring and spout packing to maintain a rigid yet fluid connection. As an ECAST® certified part, it is manufactured using high-quality, lead-free materials that meet all federal and state requirements for potable water safety, making it a reliable choice for hospitals, schools, and commercial kitchens.
Pro Tip:
The 1-104JKABNF gland is the "backbone" of the spout's swivel action. While O-rings stop the leaks, the gland prevents the mechanical wear that causes those O-rings to fail prematurely. If you can physically wiggle your spout up and down, this gland is likely worn or compressed. When replacing the gland, we highly recommend also swapping the 1-006JKABNF packing to ensure you have both mechanical stability and a watertight seal. This small part can save you from having to replace the entire expensive spout assembly later. Need help with a bulk repair project? Call ProDryers at 888-503-7937!
