I'm buying an under-mount sink and faucet for my new countertops I'm about to have installed and with all sink+faucet pictures I see online, almost none have a dishwasher air gap installed. I rather not install another one if I can get away with it but I'm curious what others do.

| The code varies by city. Mine, in northern CA, requires one. We would have preferred not to have one but had no choice. |

| Wonder why you can't get a faucet with one built in. |

I have an air gap, but you can buy these nifty soap dispeners which sit right on top of it so that’s what I did. Forget it’s even there. Don’t know enough about construction/plumbing to know how necessary it really is so trusted the guy who remodeled my kitchen who suggested I get it and cover it with a soap dispenser.
Looks like this: https://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/80e1e773000bc2e7_8-8071/contemporary-kitchen.jpg (to right of the faucet)
(No, that’s not MY kitchen although swap the black quartz counter with a white quartz counter, and the double sink for a large single basin sink, and it would actually kinda look similar!) |

I had a soap dispenser in my air gap hole (no jokes) and had the air gap line T'd into my Garbage Disposal line for over 5 years and never had a problem.
When I bought a new Dishwasher last tear and had the Geek Squad install it, they stated it was code to have the normal sink top air gap, so I moved the soap dispenser to the opposite side..
It's not a huge deal and believe me you DON'T want to have a minor flood in your kitchen, like the Nile slogan...just do it...!
