The air gap body separates the hose running dirty water from the hose running to the drain; it shields dishwasher water from overflowing into your main water lines, as required by code in many states

This plastic air gap body with cover replaces most existing dishwasher air gap assembly kits

The dishwasher hose connection is 5/8 inches and the disposal hose connection is 7/8 inches

Durable plastic construction resists rust and erosion during the rigor of everyday use

You will need a screwdriver and hose clamps to complete installation of the air gap assembly

To clean air gap assembly remove air gap cap from plastic body – use a small “bottle brush” with a long handle and some household cleaning disinfecting cleaner to clear out any unwanted debris and/or clogs

Matte black can be looked at as modern but it is a transitional finish too, every space needs a little bit of black so adding in black hardware, faucets, and other fixtures is a great way to include this design staple into your space
