Chicago Faucets 177-003JKABRBF
The Chicago Faucets 177-003JKABRBF is a genuine OEM replacement tailpiece engineered for utility and industrial wall-mounted plumbing applications. This component provides the critical 1/2" NPT connection between the facility's water supply lines and the faucet’s union assembly. Featuring a Rough Brass (RBF) finish, this part is intended for installations where functional reliability in "back-of-house" environments—such as mechanical rooms, janitorial closets, and service bays—is more important than a decorative finish. As an ECAST® certified product, it is manufactured from lead-free brass, ensuring full compliance with NSF/ANSI 372 and all federal potable water regulations.
Expert Insight:
The 177-003JKABRBF is the backbone of a rugged service sink setup. Because it is Rough Brass, it is more economical than the chrome versions and stands up exceptionally well to the humid, high-use conditions of a mop room. Installation Tip: When installing this into a brass or copper female fitting, ensure you use a generous amount of pipe sealant or thread tape. Since the tailpiece has a flat face on the union side, it is imperative that this face remains clean and free of burrs so the 1-011JKABNF washer can seat perfectly. If you are experiencing a slow drip behind the faucet, a pitted tailpiece face is a common culprit. Need to stock up for a facility-wide upgrade? Call ProDryers at 888-503-7937!
