Danco Top Mount Air Switch for Garbage Disposals with Matte Black Button 9D00012037 467450

The Garbage Disposal Air Switch is a very simple device that you can use to turn on and off your kitchen disposer. The deck-mount garbage disposal air switch is a convenient alternative to the wall-mount light switch and easily mounts to the sink or counter top with a one-outlet under sink power source design. This is very popular with homeowners as many new kitchens and kitchen remodels today, the kitchen sink and garbage disposal are located in an island countertop and not close to a wall, so the wall switch becomes outdated. The air switch for garbage disposal uses air pressure instead of electricity to activate your unit, so it reduces the potential of an electric shock when you have wet hands. When you press the push button initially, it triggers a pulse of air towards the power control unit, then the air goes through tubing connected between the button and the control unit. Once the control unit receives the air signal, it turns on the power to your disposer. You will need to press the button again to turn off your garbage disposal. This is a perfect solution for a kitchen island, works with most major garbage disposal brands, and is compatible with the InSinkErator garbage disposal units.
