Chicago Faucets 828-ACP Polypropylene Pure Water Faucet
The Chicago Faucets 828-ACP is a commercial-grade, deck-mounted laboratory faucet precision-engineered for specialized pure water distribution networks, including distilled, deionized (DI), or reverse osmosis (RO) systems. Highly purified water can react with standard commercial metals, leading to premature pipe degradation and metallic contamination. To isolate the fluid and prevent mineral leaching, the 828-ACP features an internal, chemically inert polypropylene valve paired with a high-durability polypropylene needle cartridge. This robust configuration eliminates metal-to-water contact along the primary flow path, ensuring fluid purity remains uncompromised from the inlet lines straight through to the point of discharge.
While the internal fluid path is entirely non-metallic, the exterior structure is built from commercial-grade brass finished in premium polished chrome to deliver structural strength and clean laboratory aesthetics. The control handle is outfitted with a clear "DI" index button for effortless, instantaneous fluid type identification in busy working areas. Designed for clean, single-hole deck installation on workstations or fume hoods, this reliable fixture is pre-configured with a 3/8" NPT polypropylene male thread inlet to maintain continuous material consistency. By standardizing on this direct factory component, facility maintenance departments can protect critical research samples, avoid localized corrosion, and maintain reliable execution in scientific settings.
