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 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

The air gap body separates the hose running dirty water from the hose running to the drain

Since these two paths intersect, there is no risk of wastewater creeping back into your clean appliance
