Engineered as a direct replacement for the Bunn 27622.0000, this part ensures a precision fit on TDS3 and TDS5 tea dispensers. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining a tight seal at the shank is essential to avoid moisture migration into the housing, which can lead to component corrosion.

Whether you are performing a full faucet assembly replacement or addressing a loose shank, this faucet shank nut delivers the structural integrity required for continuous commercial service.

How do I know if the faucet shank nut needs replacement?
If you notice the faucet assembly rotating or shifting during use, or if there is persistent moisture at the base of the shank despite a clean seat cup, the threads on the shank nut may be stripped or the nut may have loosened due to vibration.

Is this part compatible with other Bunn models?
While primarily designed for the TDS series, this 3/8 NPS nut is a standard size for many Bunn hot water faucets and dispenser shanks. Always verify the thread pitch and shank diameter before installation.

Does this nut include the O-ring or washer?
This item is the faucet shank nut only. For a leak-free seal, technicians should inspect the companion sealing washers and O-rings, replacing them if they show signs of compression set or cracking.
