A:  Hello Harr, my name is Kassi with Kohler Co. I'd be glad to answer your question. The hole size we recommend for all Kohler faucets and accessories for sinks and countertops is 1-3/8". Thank you for choosing Kohler.

A:  Hi, this is Laura with Kohler Co. I am happy to assist you with your question. The air gap works by allowing fresh air into the drain hose if there is a backup causing negative pressure. Typically, the only time water would come out of the air gap is if the garbage disposal has not been run for a while and water backs up in it into the air gap hose. Since you are not installing a garbage disposal, this is not a concern. Thank you for choosing Kohler.

A:  The air gap is not on the dishwasher, but is connected to the drain hose from the dishwasher. My air gap is mounted on the kitchen granite counter near the dishwasher and the sink. It provides back flow prevention for the dishwasher.

A:  The water discharge hose from you dishwasher connects to the side port of this device. One end of another, user supplied hose connects to the bottom fitting of the air gap, with the other end going to the dishwasher fitting on your garbage disposal or another fitting on the sink drain plumbing. The idea is to prevent sewer water being siphoned into the dishwasher.

A:  The air gap for a dishwasher is typically located in one of the sink holes of your kitchen sink. Kitchen sinks traditionally have three holes, but can be ordered with up to five holes in a new installation or replacement project.

A:  It isn’t located “on the dishwasher” - I would recommend you seek professional installation.

A:  Your garbage disposal may be clogged.

A:  Air gap purpose is to release pressure from dishwasher. If the holes of your air gap face the wall pressure is blocked & leaks water. This happens if your garbage disposal line is blocked because the water pressure goes an alternate route. I bought this air gap for quality & style hoping to resolve water leaking as it is more sturdy. As soon as we cleared the blockage in the garbage disposal the leak stopped.
