❤ FLOW RATE: The AG200-705’s maximum flow rate is 11 gallons per minute (GPM). The maximum flow rate of the 1/4-inch port for the reverse osmosis (RO) filter is 1 GPM. The maximum flow rate through this air gap is the highest flow rate above which the air gap will overflow. At maximum flow rate, the air gap is dry on the outside.
❤ INLET PORTS: The AG200-705 accepts a standard 5/8-inch inside diameter hose from a dishwasher and a 1/4-inch outside diameter tubing from Reverses Osmosis filter (with tank). The hose from the dishwasher slides onto the side port and is secured using stainless worm clamps (not included). The RO tubing connects to a push-in quick-connect adapter. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose and that water passes freely. This air gap is compatible with all dishwashers and RO filters.
❤ OUTLET PORTS: The drainage side of the air gap connects to a 7/8-inch inside diameter hose, which routes discharge water to the side drain connection on the garbage disposal. This hose is available from Home Depot (search for “PVC Disposal Discharge Hose”). When installing this hose, make sure that there is no sagging or loops. Any sagging will create standing water and will restrict the proper draining of the air gap. Secure both ends of the hose with a 1-inch stainless steel worm clamp.
❤ THREADED BODY: The AG200-705 has a body with a thread that enables air gap mounting through a standard countertop. Countertop thickness can be up to 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inches, and it does not require any special modification to accommodate this air gap. The body of the air gap made from extra durable plastic to resists bending or deforming.
❤ COMPATIBILITY: Our reverse osmosis air gaps such as the AG200-705 are not compatible with reverse osmosis faucets with air gap.
