    I woke up this morning to my air gap dislodged and water under my sink. My heart sunk. This video just made my day! I'm pretty sure I'll be able to do this myself. My husband is out of town until this weekend and but he'll be impressed when he gets back! Thank you for posting this!

    Thank you for showing how to remove and reconnect the air gap! It doesn't look that hard at all. This is something I'd like to do at least every other year to keep the air gap clean!

    This video helped me find and fix the issue in my son’s apartment. I really appreciate you providing this video. The apartment complex maintenance fixed the cosmetic issue with the water soaking the base of the under sink cabinet by covering up the cabinet base with ceramic tile. The drain hose from the garbage disposal to the air gap was completely plugged with rotting garbage as was the air gap. (Disgusting). We completed the repair in about 30 minutes and spent $10.00 in parts. Thank you!!

    Thanks for the video. At one point you reference another of your videos that shows how to replace the drain hose from air gap to garbage disposal. It might be easier if you linked to that video in the description of this one.

    If your drain hose that connects to the disposal is lower from the connection point, dirty water from your sink drain will enter and sit there growing bacteria until the next time you use the dishwasher.
    If you make sure the drain hose is elevated from the connection point, you won’t have a stinky odor coming from the drain.

    Best video on a air gap I have seen so far. I broke mine accidentally when I changed the garbage disposal. I really never even knew what that thing was, did, or was called. Gonna grab one from Home Depot or Lowes in couple days

    Great vid. My kitchen setup is just like yours with garbage disposal. Most likely my air gap is clogged and needs replacing. However, I don't use my dishwasher at all so feel its unnecessary atm to replace the air gap. With that said, my question is can a clogged air gap and hoses cause my sink to backup? Every night when I wash my dishes, the sink gets backed up. I plunge it and the water goes down slowly, but it'll be the same thing the next night.

    Does it matter if the dishwasher and drain hoses are reverse connected? The big connection to the dishwasher and the thinner one to the drain?

  • @luissonoma6255

    one more thing. The air gap hole should face the sink. I mean the plastic one and it should align with the cover hole. In case the pipe gets clogged, water will come back up and you want it to shoot into the sink and not spill out the back onto the counter.

    is there a way to only have a garbage disposal connected to the air gap but not to dishwasher (not using it so planning to remove it)?

    • @nigh_anxiety
      @nigh_anxiety 10 місяців тому

      That should be okay to just leave it connected, but if the disposal drain gets backed up, it could back up towards the gap. A better solution would be to disconnect the disposal from the air gap also, and then install a plug into the port on the disposal. Or, if your disposal is going to get replaced too, just buy a new disposal and don't remove the original plug from that port.

    An installer put in a new dishwasher but failed to secure the air gap drains with clamps! You can just imagine how that went.

      i came here looking for this exact information and you have the last comment, also no where to be found the size of the gasket anywhere , plumbers putty as well?

  • @rodneysmart9774
    @rodneysmart9774 2 роки тому

    The hose to the disposal is too long. It's sagging so it doesn't drain properly. You fixed the symptom, not the problem.

  • @kvdgadj

    You have more room under you sink than I do. The garbage disposal is in the way and my air gap is on the right side?

    He is calling this an "air gap" but actually, this is a vent, not an air-gap.
