Featured with a cap available in a variety of finishes, the Westbrass brand is a stylish alternative to complement your other decorative fixtures.

From the Manufacturer

Westbrass was founded in 1935 by two brothers, Jack and Aaron Kagan, to serve the needs of all plumbing wholesalers on the West Coast. The product lines at the time included items such as faucets, valves, malleable fittings, etc. After becoming the premier distributor of plumbing products, the company was bought in 1985 by Max Homami. Seeing a boom in the Home Improvement Industry, Mr. Homami had a vision to make Westbrass the leader in Kitchen & Bath Accessories.

The company currently manufactures its own products made of the highest quality materials. In order to ensure the excellence in the industry, these products are made to pass the highly stringent requirements of NSF, IAPMO, ADA and many other regulations. The Los Angeles-based company now sells a wide range of Plumbing Specialty Products, Bath Waste & Overflows, as well as Decorative Kitchen & Bath Accessories worldwide. 

Westbrass holds several patented items including the Deep Soak Overflow designed for extra-deep soaking in most bathing-wells, the Closing Linear overflow and several other intellectual properties. The customer base includes kitchen & bath showrooms, plumbing wholesalers and supply houses, OEM and ODM companies, as well as several national home centers.

Dishwasher air gap provides many advantages over other air gaps available on the market and insures safety and peace of mind that your water supply is uncontaminated. These advantages include: Long body thread to accommodate any kitchen counter-top thickness Super strong mounting nuts that will not strip during installation Tested and listed for compliance with applicable plumbing codes to ensure legal installation Dual ports to accommodate high flow rate from a dual dishwasher Extra-large drain port to minimize clogging Dual dishwasher air gap is listed by UPC and tested for compliance with IPC and NSF standards. Dishwasher air gap is a critical component in maintaining a safe potable water supply. It prevents any contaminants in the sink from flowing into the potable water system by siphonage and is the least expensive form of back-flow prevention. The last thing anyone wants is to have a contaminated water flowing back into dishwasher. A common misconception is that a “high loop” (routing a drain line above a sink’s flood level, for instance) provide the same function as an air gap; this is not true, because the continuous connection between dishwasher and a drain line still will allow back-flow through siphoning. To avoid potable water contamination (dirty water in your dishwasher) a dishwasher air gap must be installed for a dishwasher installation.

Allow the Trimscape Air Gap for Dish Washer to add functionality and aesthetic appeal to your home as it prevents dirty drain water from flowing back onto clean dishes. The brass cap is available in a multitude of finishes to seamlessly coordinate with your faucet. Additionally, no assembly is required, making for an easy installation to begin protecting from contaminated water right away.
