COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
System Integration
Compatible with most residential reverse osmosis systems including APEC, iSpring, Waterdrop, Home Master, and other brands using standard 1/4 inch quick-connect or compression fittings. Air gap models required by plumbing code in some jurisdictions to prevent backflow contamination; check local regulations before ordering. Non-air gap models offer cleaner installation with single-line connection from pressurized storage tank. Preinstalled 1/4 inch tubing simplifies integration with existing RO units. Suitable for undercounter RO systems rated up to 100 GPD. Mounting hardware included for sinks up to 1-5/8 inch thick. For porcelain or cast iron sinks, professional drilling recommended to avoid damage during installation.
💧 Verify your local plumbing code requirements for air gap faucets before ordering. Some municipalities mandate air gap configurations on all RO systems to prevent cross-contamination, while others permit non-air gap installations. The air gap model provides code-compliant backflow prevention in all jurisdictions, though it requires more countertop space and a larger mounting hole.
