Review & Description
Pioneer Dishwasher/Dishdrawer Air Gap Cap & Body. Features a brass cap and high impact polypropylene body
What is an air gap and do I need one?
If you have a dishwasher, then the answer is yes. Air gaps are necessary to prevent water from being siphoned out of the dishwasher. When water flows through the drain hose, it creates a suction on the water still in the dishwasher. The air gap, makes a hole for air to get in. That way, the water only leaves the dishwasher when it supposed to, when it is pumped out. Air gaps are also necessary as a back up in case your drain hose becomes clogged, the dishwasher can still pump out the water. Instead of flowing through the hose, as it should, it can flow out the air gap and into the sink.
