At a time when budgets are tight and retrofit projects are common, Chicago Faucets offers what few others can: the ability to change from manual to metering faucets and vice versa simply by changing the cartridge—not the fitting. This unique modular architecture is at the heart of the new brochure, which makes selection and specification faster, smarter, and clearer for engineers, contractors, and facility professionals alike. With Chicago Faucets cartridges, you gain more than reliability — you gain adaptability. Get your Free Cartridge Box Set and see our proven cartridges for yourself.
Our cartridge system allows facilities to respond to evolving needs simply and cost-effectively, without replacing the entire faucet. Whether the change is driven by how a space is used or how people interact with the fixtures, Chicago Faucets offers flexible solutions that extend the life and value of your investment.
For example, have a manual faucet that’s frequently left running, but no budget for a touchless upgrade? Easily convert it to a metering faucet. This low-touch solution offers an adjustable run time, conserves water, prevents unnecessary usage, and reduces the risk of misuse — all with a simple cartridge and handle swap.
And when needs shift again? If a space is repurposed and longer water flow or more control over mixed temperature is required, you can convert back to manual — without tearing out or replacing the entire unit.
Chicago Faucets makes flexibility, performance, and sustainability easy to achieve. By upgrading only the internal components, you reduce costs, minimize waste, and meet changing demands with ease — all while keeping your existing faucet body in place.
