Safety – First and foremost, air switches are very safe. Even though the control box/air switch is plugged into an electrical outlet under the sink, there’s no electricity at the point of contact with the countertop garbage disposal button. Thus, reducing the risk of electrical shock.
Where should a disposal air switch be placed?
The wall switch is best mounted off the surface area of a counter or sink (to avoid the wet environment), which can make them an inconvenience. If the switch were installed near the sink, exposure to water and other liquid, with the potential of a shock hazard!
What type of switch do you need for a garbage disposal?
The power switch for the garbage disposal is a common toggle type that looks exactly the same as a light switch, usually mounted on the backsplash, or the wall just above it. Such switches are sold at hardware stores and home improvement centers.
Why is it called an air switch?
Air Switches are part of our product range at Herga, they are very useful devices and are often selected for use within wet environments. The term “air switch” can be used to refer to the push button switch or the actual air which is connected to the electrical circuit.
What is an air switch button?
As you may assume from the name, an Air Switch is a switch which is activated by air. A push button can be used to instigate a “puff” or “sip” of air which travels along a length of PVC tubing and activates the air switch. The air switch will turn a device on or off.
Can a garbage disposal switch be under sink?
It is very easy to mount a garbage disposal air switch.
Once you have the unit in place, the air switch ties directly to the outlet that you plug into the receptacle. The shot of air can then be placed within reach of the sink so that you can stay focused on what you are doing.
Do you need an air gap if you have a garbage disposal?
When there is a garbage disposal installed, the dishwasher drain line should run down from the air gap or high loop and connect to a side nipple on the disposal, where it connects with a hose clamp. Do not bypass the garbage disposal if it is present.
Does a garbage disposal need a 15 or 20 amp switch?
Garbage disposal requires a circuit of 15 amps ideally. A 15 amp dedicated circuit is the best option for setting up one garbage disposal. Other than that, a garbage disposal can also work on a 20 amp circuit. Because in the kitchens of most houses, there is an electrical 20 amp GFCI outlet under the kitchen sink.
