Expert Insight:
The 242.981.AB.1 is specifically tailored for HyTronic products that utilize the "21" series solenoid configuration. Maintenance Tip: Before installing the new solenoid, always perform a thorough flush of the supply lines. Debris trapped in the valve body is the most common cause of premature solenoid failure or a faucet that "trickles" after activation. Pro Tip: This kit is part of the "AB" (Above-Deck) evolution, meaning it is designed to work with newer, more accessible valve architectures. If you have an older first-generation brass valve body, you might need a different kit. Using this genuine Chicago Faucets part ensures your sensor's electrical pulses are accurately converted into mechanical water flow, preventing the costly water waste of a stuck-open valve.
