Note Before Purchase
Common Issues During Installation and Usage of Air gap Faucet
- Water leaks at the airgap hole on the faucet: This is due to the 3/8" OUT drain tube being clogged/blocked and drain water is backed up, resulting in drain water exiting the airgap hole. To fix, unblock the drain tube.
- There is constant gurgling noise coming from the airgap faucet: This is due to the 3/8" OUT drain tube connected from the airgap to the drain pipe sagging lower than the point where it connects to the drain pipe, thus causing a siphoning effect. To fix, simply shorten the drain tube so water flows down the whole length with no low spots.
- The gurgling noise is still continuing even when there is no low point on the drain line: The drain flowrate coming from the RO system is exceeding the maximum drain flowrate @ 40 oz/min allowed by the faucet.
- How to prevent the tubing connection ports from leaking: During installation, take caution in pulling or bending the pre-attached tubing with excessive force. This may cause the pre-attached tubing from disconnected from the attached ports or breaking off the ports entirely, causing leaks.

Customer love our faucets because they are DYI friendly. Our RO faucets are simple to install with the Metpure's faucet wrench.
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.
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
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.

No, the blue item in picture is a very convenient wrench to secure the faucet to counter.
1/4" for non-airgap installation. The threaded tube is a plated brass, maybe. You can use a 1/4" or adapt a 3/8" poly, PEX or copper supply line. I would not recommend copper for any supply lines after filtration. As it tends to react with some substances in the water and oxidizes, creating bad tasting water and foul tasting ice cubes
The diameter of the black gasket is equal to the diameter of the escutcheon plate; therefore, the black seal becomes hidden and invisible when installed.
The faucet does not come with quick connect fitting but comes with compression fitting that will fit 1/4" tubing. If you need 1/4" quick connect faucet adapter, look for item B01HUBVDI4.
Aside from the subtle difference in color, dark oil rubbed bronze has a matte bronze finish and Venetian bronze has a bronze finish with brushed strokes.
The faucet is lined with plastic where the water touches, so therefore, the water doesn't come in direct contact with the brass material, but just in the plastic lining material.
A: Our faucet is equipped with a built-in Faucet Filter that efficiently removes impurities from your tap water. Simply turn on the faucet, and enjoy clean, filtered water immediately.
Absolutely! Our Water Filtration Faucet is compatible with major filtration systems, including Brita Faucet Filter, ensuring even greater water purity.
Using a Faucet Water Filter provides cleaner, better-tasting water by removing harmful contaminants, reducing the need for bottled water, and offering a more sustainable option for your household.
Maintenance is minimal. Simply replace the Faucet Filter as recommended, and clean the faucet with a mild detergent to keep it looking and functioning like new.
An Air Gap faucet has a built-in vent to prevent backflow, protecting reverse osmosis (RO) systems from contamination. Whether you need one depends on local building codes—some areas require them for RO systems, so check your local regulations.
Metpure Air Gap faucets come with a vent hole, two drain ports, and pre-attached tubing for easy installation.
