    Product Description & Overview

    A vase style drinking water faucet for reverse osmosis systems that need an air gap. The drain tubes come already attached, and the kit includes the wrench, adapters and couplings to finish the install.

    Check your system first: this is an AIR GAP faucet with 3 connection ports.

    • 1/4" stem: fits a 1/4" OD drinking water (permeate) line
    • Drain inlet: 1/4" OD line (red)
    • Drain outlet: 3/8" OD line (black)

    What's in the kit

    • Air gap RO faucet with 2 pre-attached drain tubes
    • Metpure RO faucet wrench (RO-FW148)
    • 1/4" OD and 3/8" OD faucet adapters, for either size drinking water line
    • 1/4" OD and 3/8" OD couplings, to join the faucet's drain tubes to your system's drain lines
    • Hardware: escutcheon plate, gasket seal, lock washer, lock nut, 1/4" tube nut, tube insert and tube sleeve
    • Style: vase (Coke bottle)
    • Valve: ceramic disc lever
    • Spout: tall gooseneck, swivels 360°
    • Body: zinc composite, lead-free material
    • Max drain flow: 40 oz/min
    • Certified: NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372
    • Finishes: Brushed Nickel, Brushed Gold, Chrome, Matte Black

    Counter hole: 1-3/8" (standard faucet hole).

    Troubleshooting

    • Water leaks from the air gap hole: the 3/8" drain tube is blocked. Clear it.
    • Gurgling noise: the 3/8" drain tube sags lower than the drain pipe connection. Shorten it so it runs downhill the whole way.
    • Gurgling with no low spot: the RO system's drain flow is above the faucet's 40 oz/min maximum.
    • Port leaks: don't pull or bend the pre-attached tubes with force during install.

    Defect-free promise: if the ceramic disc valve leaks from a manufacturing defect within 1 year, we'll replace it (non-commercial use).

    Metpure color-match guarantee: if Metpure fixtures you bought in the same finish don't match, return them for a full refund.

    Prevents Backflow

    Protects your system from contamination

    An airgap faucet features a small built-in gap of air that prevents wastewater from ever flowing back into your RO system—providing an added layer of protection and meeting most local plumbing codes. A non-airgap faucet, by contrast, connects directly to the RO drain line for a quieter, simpler setup with fewer components. Both options are crafted from high-quality materials for long-lasting durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance in your home.

    RO Faucet Types

    Understanding Airgap vs Non-Airgap

    An airgap faucet includes a small built-in gap of air that prevents wastewater from flowing back into your RO system, adding an extra layer of protection and meeting most local plumbing codes. A non-airgap faucet, on the other hand, connects directly to the RO drain line for a quieter, simpler setup with fewer parts. Both are built with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance

    What's Right for You?

    Choose What's Right for Your Home

    Choosing between an airgap and non-airgap faucet depends on your setup and preferences. An airgap faucet provides added protection against backflow and is often required by local plumbing codes. A non-airgap faucet offers a cleaner look, quieter operation, and simpler installation. Both are engineered for reliable performance, ensuring your RO system runs smoothly and your water stays pure.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Got Questions? We Have Answers.

    What size hole do we need to have drilled in our granite counter for this?

    Air-Gap Faucet: Requires a hole drilled between 7/8" to 1-3/8" diameter in your countertop or sink deck. This accommodates the triple-line configuration (1/4" filtered supply line, 1/4" RO discharge line, and 3/8" wastewater drain line).

    Non-Air Gap Faucet: Requires a hole between 1/2" to 1-3/8" diameter.

    What is an Air Gap faucet, and do I need one?

    An Air Gap faucet features a built-in air vent that physically isolates the reverse osmosis drain line from the sink wastewater plumbing, preventing siphon backflow from contaminating your drinking water. Whether you need one depends on local building and plumbing codes—many municipalities require air gaps for all RO systems to pass inspection. Check your local regulations or choose an airgap faucet for maximum safety peace of mind.

    What does a Metpure Air Gap faucet include?

    Every Metpure Air Gap faucet comes complete with the solid brass faucet body, internal air vent hole, two barbed drain ports (1/4" inflow and 3/8" outflow), pre-attached lines, escutcheon plate, rubber gasket, lock washer, brass mounting nut, both 1/4" and 3/8" quick-connect push-in adapters, and the patented Metpure faucet installation wrench.

    Does this item include a filter? What is the blue item in the picture?

    No, this item is the designer dispenser faucet. The blue item shown in the pictures is the patented Metpure RO Faucet Installation Wrench—an indispensable tool specifically contoured to effortlessly tighten mounting nuts in tight under-sink spaces where normal wrenches cannot reach.

    Is the supply line 1/4" or 3/8" & is it copper or polypro?

    The faucet is designed for 1/4" and 3/8" poly/PEX tubing using the included quick-connect adapters. We recommend using food-grade polyethylene (poly) or PEX lines rather than copper after filtration, as purified RO water can react with pure copper and affect taste.

    Is the black gasket seal concealed by the bottom skirt of the faucet?

    Yes! The diameter of the protective black sealing gasket is engineered to match the escutcheon skirt plate; therefore, when installed, the black seal is 100% hidden and invisible beneath the polished finish plate.

    Is this faucet compatible with 1/4" and 3/8" Quick Connect?

    Yes. The faucet comes with standard compression hardware and includes both 1/4" and 3/8" quick-connect faucet adapters for effortless push-fit connection to your filtration system lines.

    What is the difference between Dark Oil Rubbed Bronze and Venetian Bronze?

    Dark Oil Rubbed Bronze features a smooth, deep matte bronze tone, while Venetian Bronze has a richer chocolate bronze tone highlighted with subtle hand-brushed copper/golden accents.

    Is the brass faucet lined so that lead will not leach into RO water?

    Yes, 100%. Metpure faucets are engineered with a certified food-grade plastic lining throughout the internal water pathway. Pure water never comes into direct contact with raw brass, ensuring complete compliance with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 lead-free standards.

    How do I clean and maintain the Water Filtration Faucet?

    Maintenance is minimal. Simply clean the exterior with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the electroplated finish. The precision ceramic disc cartridge is designed for lifetime drip-free use.

    Clean install, exceptional quality and zero leaks

    Installed this airgap faucet to replace an old builder-grade unit. The included Metpure wrench made tightening under the quartz sink a 5-minute job. Water pressure is strong and the finish matches our main sink faucet flawlessly.

    Passed plumbing inspection with flying colors

    Our town code required an airgap faucet for our reverse osmosis installation. Plumber loved the build quality, heavy brass weight, and the fact that quick connect adapters were included right in the box.

    Best faucet tool ever included

    Whoever thought of including the blue faucet wrench deserves a promotion. Usually getting a basin wrench up behind deep undermount sinks is a nightmare. This slipped right over the shank and tightened perfectly.
