Chicago Faucets 177-002JKRCF
The Chicago Faucets 177-002JKRCF is a genuine OEM industrial coupling nut designed for wall-mounted faucets and service sink fittings. This union nut provides the essential mechanical connection between the faucet body and the supply arms or offsets. Featuring a Rough Chrome (RCF) finish, it offers a middle ground between the industrial look of rough brass and the mirror-like shine of polished chrome. The rough chrome plating provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, making it ideal for utility environments that may be exposed to high humidity or harsh cleaning chemicals. Constructed from solid brass, it is built to maintain a pressurized, leak-free connection under constant commercial use.

Expert Insight:
The 177-002JKRCF is specifically designed for "back-of-house" fixtures where durability is key, but you still want the corrosion protection of chrome. Unlike polished chrome, the "Rough Chrome" finish is textured and won't show scratches or tool marks as easily. Installation Tip: This nut relies on the 1-011JKABNF Union Washer to create a watertight seal. If you are replacing the nut because of a leak, always replace the washer at the same time. Pro Tip: When installing on a service sink faucet, ensure you tighten both the hot and cold union nuts incrementally to keep the faucet body level and prevent putting uneven stress on the supply arm threads.
