Single Economy Air Gap with Black Color Brass Decorative Cap (AG300-008)

A dishwasher air gap is a critical component in maintaining a safe water supply. It prevents contaminants in the sink from flowing into the dishwasher and is required by code in most states. A common misconception is that a "high loop" (routing a drain line above a sink's flood level, for instance) and a wye connection 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 through siphoning. The AG300-008 is a single dishwasher air gap that is constructed with durable materials, ensuring resilience to everyday wear and tear while maintaining an affordable price point. Its competitive pricing remains unmatched without compromising on performance quality. The AG300-008's maximum flow rate is 7.5 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 AG300-008 features a stylish black color brass decorative cap that adds elegance to its design. With a sleek finish, this cap enhances kitchen aesthetic while ensuring reliable performance. The AG300-008 is easy to install, easy to use, and easy to maintain. The AG300-008 air gap is listed by UPC.
