Chicago Faucets 2-228JKABRBF
The Chicago Faucets 2-228JKABRBF is a core internal component of the legendary Chicago Faucets cartridge system. This Sleeve acts as the structural housing for the internal stem and seating components of both Quaturn™ (quarter-turn) and Slow Compression cartridges. Precision-machined from solid brass, it provides the smooth internal surface necessary for high-cycle performance and a leak-free seal. As an ECAST® product, it is manufactured with 0.25% or less total lead content by weighted average, ensuring compliance with federal and state low-lead safety standards.
Expert Insight:
The 2-228JKABRBF is a "rebuilder's essential." Installation Tip: When rebuilding a cartridge, the sleeve is often the part that collects the most mineral scale and grit. If your cartridge is "sticking" even after replacing the O-rings, a fresh sleeve is likely required to restore the smooth glide of the stem. Pro Tip: This sleeve features a Rough Brass (RBF) finish because it is an internal component that is not visible once installed. Its primary job is mechanical—housing the stem and providing the threads for the cartridge nut. Because Chicago Faucets cartridges are fully interchangeable, this sleeve is compatible across a vast range of commercial fixtures from the last 50+ years. If you are prepping for a full facility faucet audit, keeping a few of these on hand allows for "on-the-fly" cartridge repairs rather than expensive full-unit replacements.
