Heritage Dishwasher Air Gap

The Kingston Brass K511C Heritage dishwasher air gap prevents dirty drain water from flowing back onto clean dishes. Its brass cap is offered in polished chrome to coordinate with existing faucets. The unit requires no assembly for immediate installation.

Polished Chrome Finish Coordination

The polished chrome finish allows the air gap to match coordinating faucets and kitchen fixtures. This aesthetic integration supports a unified look across the sink area. The brass construction underlies the visible finish for durability.

Households Needing Backflow Prevention

This air gap suits homeowners installing or replacing a dishwasher backflow preventer who want a coordinated polished chrome appearance. Buyers needing a different finish to match other hardware should look at alternative options. Those requiring assembled components or non-brass materials will need a different product.

Questions about this item

How often should the brass cap be inspected or replaced to keep the air gap working properly?

The brass cap requires no scheduled replacement; periodic visual checks for mineral build-up or corrosion are sufficient to maintain backflow protection.

What is the first performance limit reached when the dishwasher runs repeated cycles?

The air gap relies on gravity drainage, so the limiting factor is the sink drain capacity — if the drain cannot accept the discharge flow, water will spill from the air gap vent.

Does the polished chrome finish discolour or the body heat up during all-day dishwasher operation?

The chrome-plated brass body stays at ambient temperature and the finish resists discolouration; no measurable heat is generated because the device has no moving parts or electrical components.
