| What is the cause of faucet leaks from the air gap? |
| Faucet leaks from the air gap can be caused by a crimp in the drain line, a restriction in the drain line, or a clogged drain tube. - If there is a crimp in the drain line, check and straighten out the tubing. - If the drain line is not straight, it can cause leakage from the faucet. Remove the drain line, check for blockage (which can be removed with a coat hanger) and make sure the connection between the drain and drain saddle is as short and straight as possible. The drain line can be trimmed if there are any dips or loops where water might settle. - The drain line can also become clogged by the dishwasher, garbage disposal, or even the impurities removed by reverse osmosis water systems. To fix this, disconnect the line and clean it out with a wire before re-connecting. Home Page | FAQs | Glossary | Contact Us |
