Chicago Faucets 1769-PRABCP
The Chicago Faucets 1769-PRABCP is a genuine OEM remote-mounted angle valve specifically configured for use in Pre-Rinse assemblies and commercial glass filler stations. This valve serves as a dedicated remote control point, allowing operators to activate water flow for high-pressure sprayers or distant spouts. Built with a heavy-duty brass body and finished in a high-luster polished chrome (CP), it is designed to withstand the high-cycle demands of a commercial dishroom or laboratory. The unit includes a 2-inch four-arm cross handle and the signature Quaturn™ compression cartridge for rapid, 1/4-turn-like operation. As an ECAST® certified product, it is manufactured from lead-free brass to comply with all federal safety and NSF/ANSI 372 standards.
Expert Insight:
The "PR" in 1769-PRABCP stands for Pre-Rinse, but this valve is also a favorite for steam table fills and pot filler setups. Unlike the hot or cold versions with specific colored buttons, this model is designed for high-frequency use where durability is the top priority. Pro Tip: Remote valves like this are often installed in areas with high water pressure; the Quaturn cartridge inside is uniquely designed to close with the flow of water, which helps prevent "water hammer" and reduces wear on your piping system. If your pre-rinse hose is leaking at the handle, it might actually be back-pressure from this valve—always check your cartridges first! Need technical help with a custom install?
