Single Economy Air Gap with Brass Decorative Cap (AG300-001)

A dishwasher air gap is critical to 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 level of protection 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 AG300-001 is a single dishwasher air gap constructed using durable plastic, ensuring resilience to everyday wear and tear while maintaining an affordable price point. Its competitive pricing remains unmatched without compromising on performance quality. The AG300-001'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. The air gap is dry on the outside at the maximum flow rate. The AG300-001 features a stylish brass decorative cap that adds elegance. This cap's sleek finish enhances the kitchen's aesthetic while ensuring reliable performance. The AG300-001 is easy to install, easy to use, and easy to maintain. The AG300-001 air gap is a UPC listed product.
