Inlet Shank for Chicago Faucets
This inlet shank is a replacement component designed for Chicago Faucets manual faucets. It includes the locknut, shank and washer required for installation. Plumbers and facility managers use it to restore supply connections on existing fixtures.
Brass construction handles typical supply pressure
The brass body resists corrosion from treated water and withstands normal supply pressure without deformation. No moving parts are present, so the shank adds no operational noise and draws no power. The included washer provides a reliable seal when the locknut is tightened.
Replaces a worn or damaged supply shank
This part upgrades a leaking or corroded shank on a compatible Chicago Faucets manual faucet. The jump is worthwhile when the original shank threads are stripped, the body is pitted or the seal no longer holds. It does not fit other brands or electronic faucet models.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 979 inlet shank and what step is often missed?
Thread the shank into the faucet body, seat the washer flat, then tighten the locknut securely; the step often missed is ensuring the washer is fully seated before final tightening.
What maintenance will the 979 inlet shank need later?
Periodically check the locknut for tightness and inspect the washer for wear or hardening; replace the washer if dripping appears at the connection.
What limit appears first on the 979 inlet shank under sustained use?
The washer will compress and harden over time, eventually allowing water to seep past the seal before the brass shank or locknut shows any wear.
