Chicago Faucets Presents Brushed Nickel Finish for 420 Series Faucets
The Chicago Faucet Company has announced an exciting update to its product lineup with the introduction of a brushed nickel finish for its popular 420 Series manual single-handle lavatory faucets. This enhancement is in direct response to customer demand for more aesthetic choices in commercial restroom settings. The brushed nickel finish not only delivers a sophisticated appearance but also integrates seamlessly with a variety of contemporary interior designs.
Enhanced Functionality and Design Flexibility
The 420 Series faucets come available in both models with and without integrated thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) technology. This allows architects, plumbing engineers, and facility managers to select fixtures that fit perfectly with their design intentions while ensuring functionality. The easy installation process makes these faucets ideal for various settings including educational institutions, office complexes, public buildings, and hospitality venues.
One of the standout features of the models equipped with integrated TMV technology is the control they allow over water temperature and scald protection at the point of use. For projects where it’s crucial to maintain specific temperature settings while minimizing below-deck plumbing connections, these integrated models serve as an excellent choice. Greg Hunt, Commercial Product Manager at Chicago Faucets, highlights the importance of this innovation stating, "By making the finish available on models with and without an integrated TMV, we are giving facilities more options to meet both their design goals and installation requirements."
Diverse Models to Meet Various Needs
The 420 Series in brushed nickel includes a variety of configurations designed to cater to the diverse needs of commercial lavatory applications:
- - 420-ABBN: Standard 1.5 GPM pressure compensating laminar outlet for everyday lavatory use.
- - 420-E2805ABBN: A 0.5 GPM Econo-Flo vandal-proof laminar spray that emphasizes water conservation.

The brushed nickel finish provides a warm and contemporary alternative to traditional polished chrome. It’s specifically designed to coordinate with modern restroom aesthetics, making it suitable for environments such as healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and public spaces.
Safety and Compliance
All models in the 420 Series meet or exceed the applicable industry standards including ASME A112.18.1, CSA B125.1, ADA ANSI/ICC A117.1, and NSF/ANSI 372 for low lead content. Those equipped with thermostatic control also carry ASSE 1070 certification, ensuring they meet safety and performance expectations.
These faucets are easily installable, making it a straightforward task for contractors to update existing restroom fixtures. Facilities considering a renovation or new project can reach out to local distributors or customer service for assistance.
