If your local plumbing code requires it (and a lot do), you need an air gap for your dishwasher. This isn't just a random tube; it's a crucial little device that sits on your countertop or sink deck. Its job? To create a physical air break that prevents dirty water from your sink drain or garbage disposal from accidentally siphoning back into your clean dishwasher. Gross, right? This Kingston Brass model is a good-looking one. It has a solid polyethylene body with a classic Antique Brass finish cap that matches a lot of kitchen faucets. It comes fully assembled, so installation is pretty straightforward – just connect the hoses. The cap is about 2-5/16 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches tall. It's a simple, code-compliant way to protect your dishes and your health. A must-have for new installs or replacements when the old one gets crusty.
