Chicago Faucets, a leader in American plumbing for more than 120 years, is proud to announce the launch the newly updated Cartridge Brochure — a technical and visual guide designed to educate plumbing professionals on one of the brand’s most powerful and often under-appreciated advantages: interchangeability.

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. The company is also offering a Complimentary Cartridge Box Set to qualified professionals to demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of its cartridge system for a wide range of facility projects.

With Chicago Faucets cartridges, customers gain more than reliability — they gain adaptability. The company's 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 the 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, customers can convert back to manual — without tearing out or replacing the entire unit.

Chicago Faucets makes flexibility, performance, and sustainability easy to achieve. Upgrading only the internal components reduces costs, minimizes waste, and meets changing demands with ease — all while keeping the existing faucet body in place.

“The secret is out — it’s time the whole industry understood how flexible Chicago Faucets really is,” said Greg Hunt, commercial product manager. “You don’t need to replace an entire faucet just to install a metering option. With Chicago Faucets, the faucet body stays. You simply change the cartridge and handle.

“New professionals entering the field may not be aware of Chicago Faucets’ interchangeable cartridge system and the timesaving, cost-cutting advantages it offers in both new builds and retrofits. We want them to see the different cartridges and understand how they work. That is why we are offering a complimentary Cartridge Box Set, on a first come, first serve basis as we have a limited supply.”

The free Cartridge Box Set features samples of the company's most popular commercial cartridges. The offer is available to qualified professionals through June 30 by completing the form.

The new Cartridge Brochure breaks down Chicago Faucets’ most trusted cartridge types — from Quaturn and Ceramic to MVP Metering and Klo-Self — and explains which to use, where, and why. Readers will discover the answers to these questions:

• How to adapt a faucet’s function to current needs by replacing just the cartridge?
• Which cartridges help conserve water and comply with sustainability goals?
• ·What makes MVP metering cartridges ideal for schools, public restrooms, and ADA compliance?
• ·Why rebuildable cartridges cut downtime and reduce lifecycle cost?
• Which cartridge is the right one for your faucet’s application? From hospitals, schools, stadiums, restaurants, rest stops, laboratories to other commercial restrooms.

This new campaign also reintroduces the company’s bold identity: CHICAGO TOUGH — a nod to its hometown roots and the toughness of its products, trusted in some of the busiest, most demanding plumbing environments in the world. Chicago Faucets has long been known for its rugged, rebuildable products, and for keeping parts in stock even for legacy faucets installed decades ago. For experienced engineers and contractors, the name is synonymous with reliability and durability.
