American Plumbing Partsmaster 986789 Chicago Washer 8 Pack

Product Description

The AMERICAN PLUMBING PARTSMASTER 986789 is a packaged set of eight Chicago-style faucet washers used in the repair and maintenance of commercial and residential plumbing fixtures. These washers serve as sealing components within compression-style faucet assemblies, providing a watertight seat against valve stems to stop leaks and drips. Plumbers and maintenance technicians reach for this type of washer during routine faucet rebuilds, particularly on older or heavy-duty commercial fixtures common in institutional and foodservice settings.

This 8-pack is suited for repair work on compression faucets where Chicago-pattern washers are specified. The quantity makes it a practical choice for plumbers carrying standard replacement stock or for facilities maintenance crews managing multiple fixtures. Applications include sink faucets, service faucets, and similar compression valve assemblies found in commercial kitchens, restrooms, and utility areas.

Key Features

• Eight washers included per package for efficient stock replenishment
• Chicago-pattern washer profile for use in compatible compression faucet stems
• Designed for leak and drip repair in compression-style valve assemblies

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified maintenance technicians. Always shut off the water supply at the fixture stop or main shutoff valve before disassembling the faucet stem. Follow IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fixture repair. Do not overtighten the washer retaining screw, as this can damage the washer and reduce seal effectiveness.
