Dishwasher Air Gap with Skirted Brushed Bronze Brass Cap and Extra Long Threaded Body for Thick or Thin Kitchen Countertops (AG200-806, AG200-X06, AMERIGAP)

A dishwasher air gap provides safe drainage of the discharge water into the garbage disposal drain. The plumbing code requires the dishwasher air gap in most states. Using a dishwasher without an air gap is not recommended. The AG200-806’s maximum flow rate is 9.8 gallons per minute (GPM). The maximum flow rate through this air gap is the highest flow rate above which the air gap will overflow. At maximum flow rate, the air gap is dry on the outside. The AMERIGAP brand dishwasher air gap provides many advantages over other air gaps available on the market and ensures safety and peace of mind that your water supply is clean. A common misconception is that a “high loop” (routing a drain line above a sink’s flood level, for instance) will provide the same function as an air gap; this is not true, because the continuous connection between dishwasher and drain line still will allow back-flow of dirty water through siphoning. This air gap is easy to install, easy to use, and easy to maintain. The AG200-806 air gap is UPC and IPC listed.
