RO Air-Gap Faucet

Author: bernabeu (SC)

as per Delta:

"Dear Mr. Bernabeu,

Thanks for writing!

Thank you for your interest in Delta faucets. Our models 1914-AR-DST and the 1977-AR-DST both come with a built in air gap for a Reverse Osmosis' system. This is built into the faucet and it is not a finished part (rp64878). If you switch the AR for SS in the above model numbers you will have the model numbers for the Stainless Steel. Artic Stainless is the AR

Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Best Regards,

Eric
Delta Customer Service"

Re: RO Air-Gap Faucet
Author: waukeshaplumbing (WI) I am looking at the photo's of Delta beverage faucet in my Delta book right now i see no mention of a RO airgap...why not? so your saying theres a hole in the back of the faucet for the airgap? im pretty sure ive installed atleast one of these before and didnt see one so there is hookups under the faucet itself for the airgap? or do i need a extra part?
