Chicago Faucets 177-002JKCP
The Chicago Faucets 177-002JKCP is a genuine OEM replacement union nut used to secure faucet bodies to supply arms or offsets. This heavy-duty coupling nut is essential for creating a stable, pressurized connection between the water supply and the fixture, ensuring the faucet remains immobile and leak-free during operation. Finished in high-quality polished chrome (CP), it is designed to match the professional aesthetic of Chicago Faucets' wall-mounted and manual sink fittings. Constructed from commercial-grade brass, it offers superior resistance to thread stripping and corrosion, making it a reliable choice for high-traffic environments.

Expert Insight:
The 177-002JKCP is a staple for wall-mounted kitchen and service sink faucets. If you are experiencing a leak at the back of the faucet where it meets the wall, the union nut might be cracked or the threads may have corroded over time. Installation Tip: While it’s tempting to use a pipe wrench, we highly recommend using a smooth-jawed adjustable wrench or a "strap wrench" to tighten this nut. This protects the polished chrome finish from teeth marks and scratches. Also, remember that the nut itself doesn't provide the seal—the internal 1-011JKABNF washer does. Always check your washers when you have the union nuts loosened. Need technical help with a wall-mount install? Call ProDryers at 888-503-7937!
