Brasstech Basket Strainers
There are a variety of kitchen and sink basket strainer drains to choose from. The main function of the kitchen basket strainer is to hold water for washing or soaking various items and to prevent small items from going down the drain while removing water from the sink. The basket strainer part of the drain is removable while the body is attached to the kitchen sink. Most kitchen basket strainers fit the standard kitchen sink 3-1/2” drain hole. The drains output is connected to a 1-1/2” p-trap. While the end function is the same between different types of kitchen basket strainers, the style and operations are different.

Brasstech Air Gaps
The air gap basically takes out the extra air in the lines that is created by the reverse osmosis system and allows a smooth flow from the water dispenser, without the air gap you will get water sputtering out of the dispenser. Both of the air gaps that are offered were designed to completely replace the bottom flange and blend smoothly on the cold water dispenser. When hooking up the lines for the air gap, the inlet is the smaller port with 1/4” tubing is to hook up to the reverse osmosis filter system drain; the outlet is the larger port with 3/8” tubing to hook up to the waste drain. It is very important that the lines to the reverse osmosis system are not blocked, kinked, or looped in any way as this may cause water to come out of the hole in the back of the air gap.

Brasstech Water Dispensers
Brasstech offers multiple water dispensers from traditional style to contemporary. These water dispensers were made to match our kitchen faucets and are available with or without an air gap if the customer has a reverse osmosis water filtration system. The water dispensers cannot be used as a main faucet or bar faucet in any situation.

These water dispensers are available for either cold only, hot only, or both cold and hot water. The reverse osmosis air gap can only be used for the cold only water dispensers and the hot water tank must be purchased when ordering a hot only or hot and cold water dispenser. Reverse osmosis water can be known to be harmful to certain materials that faucets and dispensers are made from, however our water dispensers were designed with reverse osmosis in mind and the Brasstech water dispenser will not affect the reverse osmosis water.
