Chicago Faucets 1920-068JKNF
The Chicago Faucets 1920-068JKNF is a genuine OEM Hardware Kit specifically designed for the installation and maintenance of Ligature-Resistant (LR) Shower Trim. This kit is a critical component for the SH-TK8 series and 1920-VOCLRCP shower systems used in behavioral health, correctional, and high-risk psychiatric environments. Unlike standard shower hardware, this kit utilizes specialized tamper-resistant screws and mounting fasteners that require specific security tools for removal. This prevents unauthorized tampering and ensures that the rounded, sloped escutcheon remains flush against the wall to eliminate potential ligature points.
Specifications:
- Includes hot stop limiter ring and handle adapter for T/P valve
- For use with 1900 Series ligature-resistant shower valve trim
Expert Insight:
The 1920-068JKNF is essential for facility compliance. In behavioral health settings, a standard Phillips or flathead screw is a safety violation because it can be easily removed. Installation Tip: This hardware kit is designed to pull the heavy-duty brass escutcheon tight against the finished wall. If your wall is uneven, do not over-torque the security screws, as this can strip the mounting plate. Instead, use a ligature-resistant sealant (like a high-pick-resistant caulk) around the perimeter to fill any gaps. Pro Tip: Always keep an extra 068JKNF kit in your maintenance shop. If a screw is lost during a cartridge swap, you cannot simply pick up a replacement at a local hardware store—you must use these specific tamper-proof fasteners to maintain the room's safety rating.
