Replacement Cartridge 409
This cartridge is manufactured by Chicago Faucet Company to fit Chicago Faucets manual faucets. It serves as a direct replacement component for maintaining or restoring faucet function. The brass construction provides durability for daily water control. It is intended for homeowners or plumbers servicing compatible fixtures.
Brass Construction and Operation
The solid brass body resists corrosion and mineral buildup during normal water supply conditions. As a manual cartridge, it operates without electrical power or electronic sensors. Water flow and temperature are managed mechanically through the faucet handle. There are no powered components to generate noise or consume energy.
Compatibility and Installation
This model 409 cartridge fits specific Chicago Faucets branded fixtures only. It will not function in faucets from other manufacturers or incompatible Chicago models. Installation requires access to the faucet valve body and standard plumbing tools. Buyers needing a universal cartridge or servicing a different brand cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 409 cartridge in my Chicago Faucets manual faucet and what step is often missed?
Shut off the water supply, remove the handle and retaining nut, pull the old cartridge straight out, insert the new 409 cartridge aligning the keyway, then reinstall the nut and handle. The step often missed is checking the keyway orientation before tightening the retaining nut.
What maintenance or replacement will the 409 cartridge need over time?
The 409 cartridge may eventually require replacement if dripping occurs or handle stiffness develops; periodic cleaning of mineral deposits from the brass body can extend its service life.
What limit appears first on the 409 cartridge during sustained daily use?
Under sustained use, the brass cartridge's internal seals typically wear first, leading to a slow drip or reduced temperature control before the brass body itself shows fatigue.
