Kitchen Countertop Dishwasher Air Gap with Skirted Cap and Extra Long Threaded Body (AG200-006, AG200-003, 52, AMERIGAP)

The AG200-006 dishwasher air gap is a crucial component for maintaining a clean dishwasher and is essential for preventing contaminants from the sink from entering the dishwasher. This air gap meets plumbing code requirements in most states and has a maximum flow rate of 14 gallons per minute (GPM), ensuring that it will not overflow under normal conditions. It is designed to keep the external surface dry even at the maximum flow rate, providing added convenience and peace of mind.

The AMERIGAP brand dishwasher air gap offers numerous advantages over other options on the market, guaranteeing the safety and cleanliness of your water supply. Contrary to popular belief, simply creating a "high loop" in the drain line will not provide the same level of protection as an air gap, as the continuous connection between the dishwasher and drain line can still lead to back-flow of dirty water due to siphoning.

Installation, usage, and maintenance of the AG200-006 air gap is straightforward and hassle-free. It is UPC listed and has been rigorously tested to comply with IPC and NSF standards, ensuring its reliability and performance.
