Cartridge 826 for Chicago Faucets
The 826 cartridge is a nickel-plated replacement component designed for Chicago Faucets manual fixtures. It provides a self-closing mechanism that stops water flow automatically after use. This part suits maintenance teams and plumbers who need a direct-fit cartridge to restore original function.
Replaces worn manual cartridges
Swap this in when an existing Chicago Faucets cartridge no longer shuts off cleanly or drips after the handle is released. The self-closing action cuts water waste in high-traffic restrooms. The upgrade is worth it when the current valve requires frequent handle adjustment or fails inspection.
Fits Chicago Faucets bodies
The cartridge installs inside compatible Chicago Faucets valve bodies without special tools. Nickel plating resists corrosion from treated water supplies. It frees maintenance staff from repeated service calls on the same fixture. Verify the model number before ordering.

Questions about this item
Will the 826 cartridge fit my Chicago Faucets model?
The 826 cartridge is designed to fit most Chicago Faucets manual faucets. Verify your specific model number against the manufacturer's compatibility list before ordering.
How do I install the 826 self-closing cartridge correctly?
Turn off the water supply, remove the old cartridge, insert the new 826 cartridge aligning the keyway, and secure the retaining nut. The step often missed is lubricating the O-rings with plumber's grease.
How often will I need to replace the 826 cartridge?
The 826 cartridge typically lasts several years depending on water quality and usage. Replace it when the self-closing action becomes slow, the faucet drips, or water temperature control becomes inconsistent.
