AG300-006 Single Economy Air Gap with Brass Decorative Cap in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish
❤ COST-EFFECTIVENESS: The AG300-006 is priced competitively without compromising the quality of its performance. It is constructed with durable materials built to withstand the demands of everyday use without breaking the bank.
❤ FLOW RATE: The AG300-006’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.
❤ INLET PORTS: The AG300-006 accepts standard 5/8-inch inside diameter hose from a dishwasher. The hose from the dishwasher slide onto the bottom port and is secured using stainless worm clamps (not included). Make sure there are no kinks in the hose and that water passes freely.
❤ OUTLET PORTS: The drainage side of the air gap connects to a 7/8-inch inside diameter hose, which routes discharge water to the side drain connection on the garbage disposal. This hose is available from Home Depot (search for “PVC Disposal Discharge Hose”). When installing this hose, make sure that there is no sagging or loops. Any sagging will create standing water and will restrict the proper draining of the air gap. Secure both ends of the hose with a 1-inch stainless steel worm clamp.
❤ THREADED BODY: The AG300-006 has a body with a thread that enables air gap mounting through a standard countertop. Countertop thickness can be up to 1-1/2-inches, and it does not require any special modification to accommodate this air gap.
❤ MOUNTING NUT: The AG300-006 has a durable mounting nut that will not strip or become loose. The multi-threaded nut can be tightened without the worry of damaging threads. This configuration provides a simple and reliable installation that prevents leaks and assures trouble-free operation after the air gap is installed.
❤ DECORATIVE CAP: The AG300-006 features a stylish brass decorative cap in oil rubbed bronze finish that adds elegance to its design. With a sleek finish, this cap enhances kitchen aesthetic while ensuring reliable performance.
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.
