Danco Universal Dishwasher Air Gap Cap

The Danco Complete Air Gap Assembly with Matte Black Air Gap Cap prevents sewage from flowing back into the dishwasher. The dishwasher air gap is mounted above the sink and prevents contaminated water from re-entering the dishwasher from the drain via backflow. It is a simple way to make certain wastewater and debris never re-enter your clean water supply. When you are running your dishes through a wash cycle, the last thing you want is for them to emerge streaked with grime pumped in from your clogged garbage disposal. Since these two paths never intersect, there is no risk of wastewater creeping back into your clean appliance.The air gap body separates the hose running dirty water from the hose running to the drainThis plastic air gap body with cover replaces most existing dishwasher air gap assembly kitsTo 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 clogsDurable plastic construction resists rust and erosion during the rigor of everyday useThe matte black finish gives a modern and sophisticated look to your kitchen sinkYou will need a screwdriver and hose clamps to complete installation of the air gap assembly
