Over a Century of Innovation: Why Chicago Faucets Stand the Test of Time—and Why City Supply Trusts Them

When you’re looking for plumbing solutions that deliver long-term performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance—think of the industry pioneer: Chicago Faucets. Since 1901, their blend of engineering excellence and parts availability has set the standard across food service, institutional, and high-traffic environments.

Built for the Long Haul

One standout feature? The Quaturn® cartridge, invented in 1913. This ingenious design made faucets easily serviceable and minimized leaks—still compatible across 100 years of product evolution. That means a part made today will often fit in a fixture installed decades ago—true future-proofing.

Made in America, Built to Last

Chicago Faucets proudly keeps most of its production in the U.S.—complete with its permanent mold foundry, machining, plating, and assembly all under one roof in Milwaukee. This vertical integration lets them maintain tight quality control and short lead times—a must for critical environments like hospitals and food service areas.

One System, Countless Solutions

Their 'Chicago Faucets Food Service System' allows easy mix-and-match of components—glass fillers, service sinks, bottle fillers, and more—all built to the same core specifications. The result? Customization without sacrificing performance or serviceability.

Built with Conservation in Mind

Environmental standards matter—and Chicago Faucets delivers. The company supports water efficiency through EPA WaterSense® certifications, solid low-flow metering cartridges, and smart sensor faucets (HyTronic®). This makes them a strong fit for LEED-rated and sustainability-focused projects.
