Chicago Faucets 1920-022KJKCP
The Chicago Faucets 1920-022KJKCP is a genuine OEM Auto-Drain™ Valve assembly designed specifically for the 1920 Series thermostatic and pressure-balancing shower systems. This innovative component is the "brain" of the self-draining system, automatically purging residual water from the shower hose and head once the main valve is turned off. By eliminating standing water, it helps prevent the growth of bacteria and biofilm, making it an essential component for healthcare facilities, hospitals, and high-standard hospitality environments. Finished in polished chrome (CP), it provides a durable and seamless match to the rest of the shower trim.
Specifications:
- Replacement valve for Auto-Drain™ hand spray assembly
Expert Insight:
The 1920-022KJKCP is what sets Chicago Faucets' healthcare showers apart. If you notice that your shower hose is no longer "clearing out" after use, or if water is constantly trickling from the drain port even when the shower is running, this valve has likely failed due to mineral buildup or a worn internal diaphragm. Installation Tip: This valve is sensitive to debris. Before installing the new assembly, flush the supply lines thoroughly to ensure no solder flux or pipe scale gets trapped in the Auto-Drain mechanism. Pro Tip: This assembly includes the internal seals required for a standard swap. If you are performing a full system overhaul, we recommend also checking the 1920-007JKNF seal gasket to ensure a 100% airtight vacuum for the draining process. Not sure if your 1920 system needs the full valve or just the internal seal kit? Call the experts at ProDryers at 888-503-7937!
