Chicago Faucets 200-009JKNF
The Chicago Faucets 200-009JKNF is a genuine OEM Retainer Clip (sometimes referred to as a mounting or locking clip) specifically designed for widespread faucet assemblies. This high-strength steel clip is a vital structural component used to lock valve bodies and shanks into position against the mounting bracket or hanger. By providing a secure mechanical stop, the 200-009JKNF ensures that the faucet components remain stationary under the torque of daily operation, preventing the "wobble" or rotation often seen in inferior commercial installations.
Expert Insight:
The 200-009JKNF is the essential "locking key" for Chicago Faucets widespread lavatory fittings. Installation Tip: This clip is designed to snap into a specific groove on the valve body. If you are struggling to get the clip to seat, check for mineral buildup or old plumber’s putty in the groove—a clean channel is required for a flush fit. Pro Tip: These clips are frequently lost or bent during a "rough-in" or when a valve is removed for maintenance. Because they provide the tension that holds the valve against the undermount hanger, a missing or deformed clip will cause the handle to sit crookedly on the sink deck. If you are refurbishing older 404 or 405 Series faucets, replacing these clips is a cheap way to ensure the hardware stays tight for another decade.
