Faucet, 1/4" LR Air Gap, Brushed Nickel

This QMP air-gap drinking water faucet in brushed nickel brings both function and refined style to a reverse osmosis installation. Built for 1/4" tubing with a long-reach spout, it serves as the dedicated dispense point for purified RO water at the kitchen or bar sink. The warm brushed nickel finish lends a premium look while the air-gap design adds an important layer of protection to the system.

The air-gap design is the defining feature here. An air-gap faucet routes the RO drain line through a small physical gap in the faucet body before it reaches the sink drain, providing backflow protection that prevents drain water from being siphoned back into the system. Many local plumbing codes specifically call for this protection on reverse osmosis drains, so choosing an air-gap faucet can be essential to keeping an installation code-compliant and passing inspection on a new build or remodel.

• Air-gap (AG) faucet for code-compliant RO drain protection
• Warm brushed nickel finish
• 1/4" long-reach configuration for standard RO tubing
• Tall spout for filling pots, pitchers, and bottles
• About 1.0 lb, with a substantial, quality feel
• Backflow protection built into the faucet body

Beyond compliance, the brushed nickel finish lends a warm, premium appearance that coordinates with many fixtures and cabinet hardware, while the long-reach spout gives ample clearance for filling larger containers. An air-gap faucet uses three tubing lines rather than the single line of a standard tap, so route the product-water, drain-in, and drain-out lines carefully and seat each connection fully to keep the gap working quietly. If your reverse osmosis system requires an air-gap drain, this QMP faucet delivers the necessary protection while finishing the installation with a clean, professional look. Maintenance is light: keep the small air-gap channel clear and the connections snug, and it provides easy, on-demand access to filtered water for drinking and cooking for years. The 1/4" sizing matches standard RO product-water and drain tubing, so the faucet integrates with virtually any common under-sink reverse osmosis system, whether you are building a new setup or upgrading an older non-compliant tap. Should the gap ever gurgle, it usually means the drain saddle or line needs a quick clearing rather than any fault with the faucet. For households that need both code-compliant drain protection and a fixture that looks at home in a modern kitchen, this brushed nickel QMP air-gap faucet hits the mark.
