Chicago Faucets 216-378JKNF
The Chicago Faucets 216-378JKNF is a genuine OEM Laboratory Index Button designed for the professional and safe identification of vacuum service outlets.

This button features a high-contrast yellow background with bold black "VAC" (Vacuum) lettering, strictly adhering to SEFA (Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association) color-coding standards. It is precision-molded to snap-fit into the center of Chicago Faucets’ iconic 204 Series 4-arm cross handles, ensuring a secure and durable finish for multi-service turrets and laboratory valves.
Expert Insight:
The 216-378JKNF follows the universal safety standard where yellow signifies vacuum services. Installation Tip: These buttons are designed to sit flush with the handle surface. To install, ensure the handle's center cavity is free of any old adhesive or debris, then press the button in firmly until it "clicks" into the internal retention tabs. Pro Tip: Vacuum lines in labs are often subjected to suction that can pull in airborne contaminants; these buttons are made from non-porous plastic that can be easily sanitized without the "VAC" lettering rubbing off. If you are converting a service turret from water to vacuum, replacing the index button is a legal and safety requirement to prevent cross-contamination.
