Expert Insight:
The 1888-002JKCP is the "anchor" for your swing spout. If you notice water bubbling up from the base of the spout when it’s turned on, or if the spout feels "wobbly" when you move it, this nut may have loosened or the threads may have become worn. Installation Tip: To avoid marring the polished chrome finish, always use a smooth-jawed wrench or a strap wrench. Pro Tip: Before tightening this nut, ensure that the internal O-rings and plastic split-ring are properly seated and lightly lubricated. Over-tightening this nut can make the spout difficult to swing, while under-tightening will lead to leaks. Aim for "snug plus a quarter-turn" to find the sweet spot for smooth rotation.
