Larsen Supply Company LAR30201SN Air Gap Cap and Body

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY COMPANY LAR30201SN is a satin nickel air gap cap and body assembly used in residential and light commercial kitchen plumbing installations. An air gap is a code-required backflow prevention device typically installed on a countertop or sink deck to protect the potable water supply from contaminated dishwasher drain water. This two-piece assembly consists of the decorative cap and the mounting body, providing a complete replacement or new-installation solution. The satin nickel finish blends with common brushed metal faucet and fixture finishes found in modern kitchens.

This air gap cap and body is suited for residential kitchen sink installations where a dishwasher drain connects to a garbage disposer or sink drain. It mounts through a standard countertop or sink deck knockout and serves as the visible above-deck component of the air gap assembly. The satin nickel finish is appropriate for kitchens with brushed nickel or stainless steel fixture sets. Plumbers and plumbing contractors install this component as part of new dishwasher installations or as a replacement for worn, corroded, or mismatched existing air gap hardware.

Key Features

• Satin nickel finish coordinates with brushed nickel and stainless steel kitchen fixtures
• Two-piece design includes both the decorative cap and the mounting body
• Installs through a standard countertop or sink deck knockout opening
• Functions as a code-required backflow prevention device for dishwasher drain lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation air gap cap and body for standard residential kitchen dishwasher drain configurations.

Installation Notes

Air gap devices are installed by licensed plumbers and must comply with local plumbing codes, which commonly reference IPC and UPC requirements for backflow prevention on dishwasher drain lines. Shut off water supply and power to the dishwasher before beginning any drain line work. The body mounts through the deck knockout and the cap secures over the body from above. Do not overtighten the mounting nut, as this can crack the deck or distort the body fitting.
