Expert Insight:
The 216-178JKNF follows the standardized color-coding for laboratory service fixtures where green signifies Cold Water. Installation Tip: While these are "snap-in" buttons, they are engineered for a very tight fit to prevent them from popping out during high-pressure cleaning. If you are replacing an old button, use a thin plastic shim to pry it out; using a metal screwdriver can easily scratch the chrome handle. Pro Tip: Laboratory environments often use aggressive cleaning agents that can cause generic index stickers to peel or fade. These genuine Chicago Faucets buttons are made of solid, chemical-resistant plastic, ensuring the "CW" legend remains legible for the life of the faucet. If you're managing a lab with multiple services, keep a 3-pack of different indices on hand to ensure every handle is correctly labeled.
