With this faucet would I still need a separate air gap for my dishwasher?

I don't understand the question. What does this faucet have to do with the dishwasher? I dont use an air gap, but it has nothing to do with this faucet.

If you have an under the sink RO system you need to have an air gap. If your RO is located elsewhere you do not. Good reference here. http://www.water-softeners-filters.com/air-gap-info

With this faucet, depending on the clearance you have behind the sink you can have the handle on ether side without a problem.

I believe there is an air space between inner and outer layers of the cup.probably allows for pressure changes and draining of trapped water should someone have disobeyed orders and put it in the dishwasher. I wouldn't give it too much thoight.

My faucet is not hooked up to any extra system such as a water filtration system, ect. Just the normal house hold water system which by code has the air gap.

The air gap is used only on reverse osmosis system. And yes it's very noisey. If it's being used as a standard faucet for purified water it's awesome. Well made and great quality. Mine is used for the reverse osmosis and anybody who comes over does ask what's that gurgling sound?

It has no back flow prevention that stops water in the drain from being sucked into the RO system. Depending on your installation, an air gap is sometimes recommended.

You'd need a T connector between the final stage and the faucet, but yes you could. I don't know if that would void the warranty or anything though. (Not that you really need a warranty, mine has been working fantastically well for more than a year.)

That "Air gap" was put there for a purpose. It is for drainage. The newer models doesn't have a hole in it so in fairness to your question - yes you can.

Yes. You most likely need a separate 2 output valve. One for your regular faucet and one for the filter.

yes, you just have to punch out a metal piece to add your dishwasher connection. Really nice unit.

My understanding is that air gap accessory is designed for dispensing water from a Reverse Osmosis system or a Water Filtration system that requires a drain connection with an Air-Gap. Mine did not.

Yes as long as there is enough space between the dishwasher and the wall to allow for the space that this takes up. It sticks out about an inch and a half from the wall. So as long as that does not make your dishwasher or range stick out that much more it should be fine

We have ordered this sink for our second kitchen remodel. I am not certain if all faucets will work but I do know that you only need to drill holes for what you need. We did two, for the faucet and the dishwasher air gap

I have 2 in my kitchen island as long as you maintain a 1/2" air gap you should be ok. Iv never had a issue but they are rear venting, most high end built ins are bottom venting.

Yes you can use this faucet for air gap. I am sure you have proper RO drain connections. This piece comes complete with 3 tubes. The piece you will get will not look as shown in the picture. It is not of solid construction as shown in picture. My piece was leaking from the vent hole and I have to throw it.

I don't see why not. Our two valves are 9" apart and that puts the faucet at 4.5" on center. There's a 2" gap between the faucet and each valve. So if you bring it to 8", you should still have 1.5" clearance on both sides between the faucet and valves.
