Chicago Faucets 1920-028KJKCP
The Chicago Faucets 1920-028KJKCP is a high-performance Automatic Drain Assembly specifically engineered for the 1920 Series thermostatic and pressure-balancing shower systems. This critical component is designed to sit at the lowest point of the shower setup, automatically purging residual water from the valve and internal piping once the shower is turned off. By eliminating stagnant water, this assembly plays a vital role in infection control protocols for hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, significantly reducing the risk of biofilm accumulation and waterborne pathogens like Legionella. Constructed from heavy-duty brass with a polished chrome (CP) finish, it ensures both long-term durability and a seamless aesthetic match.

Expert Insight:
The 1920-028KJKCP is the "heart" of the 1920 Series' hygiene mission. It works via a pressure-sensitive internal diaphragm that opens when the line pressure drops. Installation Tip: For the system to drain effectively, this assembly must be installed at the absolute lowest point of the hose loop. Pro Tip: If you find that water is still sitting in your hand spray hose after the shower is off, check that the drain assembly is centered and level. If the assembly itself starts to leak while the shower is running, the internal 1920-020JKNF seal-diaphragm has likely reached the end of its service life due to sediment or hard water. Replacing the diaphragm usually restores the valve to full function without needing a whole new 028KJKCP body. Need to verify your rough-in depth for the 1920-VOCCP valve?
