Default Re: Dishwasher Air Gap
Nuther stupid question (I ain't no plumber). The air admittance valve is not an air gap. Right??? The air gap is the little thingy that sits on top of the sink? Correct?

An AAV is simply a "vent" system, different from an airgap fitting or device.

The airgap FITTING is that little "thingy" on top of the sink. The air gap is. . . well. . . an air gap - the space (air) between (gap) the discharge pipe and a receptor.
