Not suitable for kitchen sink fan

Bought after a kitchen renovation. Unfortunately, the upper part does not stay (does not fit). The plumber struggled to fit it into the standard hole he had drilled. It fits the faucet I bought so will keep it but am disappointed with the quality control of this item.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Modern

Hansgrohe Priceless

The Hansgrohe dishwasher air gap looks fantastic with our new faucet. I'm glad we changed it because the old one had a lot of solid waste. Very easy to install and fits in any modern kitchen sink. This is a whole device, not just a case that you are going to buy.

Pros
  • Practical
Cons
  • Not the best

Goes perfectly with kitchen and bathroom faucets

I first looked for an air gap with a Mediterranean bronze finish but couldn't find it. I came across this in my search. The rubbed bronze air gap photos shown looked like they would match our new faucet. Of course, when I received it, it fit perfectly! The item was exactly as it appeared in the photos. Very happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Goes with

Perfect for Talis S HighArc kitchen faucet, steel look

Perfect for Talis S HighArc kitchen faucet, steel look Air gap cover. This product was exactly the same as the one previously installed in my kitchen. The product is expensive, but it seems that all air gap coatings cost around twenty dollars.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Reliable

Do I need air gaps

I purchased this product thinking an air gap would be needed but my contractor told me they were no longer needed in California and they were never useful. All you need is an ugly extra hole in the countertop and a lid that gurgles water when the dishwasher is running. But running the dishwasher line above the dishwasher itself (but still under the counter) solves the problem just as well, presumably without the extra parts.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Not for thicker worktops

Well you're buying this for the chrome worktop to match your other Hansgrohe parts. The plastic handle is the same as the $5 Home Depot or Lowes device. No kidding, I checked the part number. If you have thicker granite or quartz countertops with a 5/8" plywood backing this may not work as the threaded section is about 2.5" long. So you need to measure the distance between the top of the rack and the bottom of the plywood base. Mine was 2 and 1/8 inch thick so I had to buy another 3.5 inch…

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Some troubles

Looks good - not much different in design from cheaper air gaps

While technical superiority doesn't normally buy an air gap, one can hope that with a little more money you can get better quality. Things really don't seem to be the case here. The cover is as you would expect from Hansgrohe, but there is a slight gap between the threaded air gap body and the mounting nuts. This makes tightening more difficult when there is transverse pull on the hoses. In general, it's nice, but the inside of the device is not noticeably different from what costs half the…

Pros
  • Simple design
Cons
  • Thin

Great cap, useless nut.

My experience is similar to M. Baker's but luckily I was saved by a plumber. Original on my kitchen sink. I bought a top cap kit and this part met my expectations. At first glance, the plastic air gap tube and plastic nut look exactly like the replaced parts. But when my plumber started installing the air gap, he found that the nut just wasn't tightening the plastic pipe properly. He kept trying, but the nut that came with it just wasn't up to the task - too weak. In the end he decided to use…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Cleanliness
