INSINKERATOR Garbage Disposal Air Switch Kit, Dual Outlet Sink Top Switch Button for All INSINKERATOR Food Waste Disposer Models, Chrome/White STS-OO

Ordered this as a replacement for an existing air switch which failed. Works great, the counter-mounted plunger looks clean. Easy to install, especially if the counter is already drilled for the plunger. (As a replacement, you can probably reuse the existing plunger, which makes it even easier to install.) I'm a tinkerer, so I opened the old one to see what failed. Turns out it has an air-activated switch which is also used in many hot tubs, and that had failed. The switch is readily available for around $10 as a replacement part, and is easily replaced, the leads are simple push-on contacts.

Looks good in granite. Installed by handyman. Working fine. Insinkerator brand is expensive, hopefully better quality

The InSinkErator Air Switch Kit simplifies operating a garbage disposal without the hassle of wiring a traditional wall switch. After installing it in my kitchen, the difference in convenience and safety is noticeable. Key Features: No Electrical Wiring Needed: The air switch uses a small hose and button, eliminating the need for complex electrical work. I placed the button on my sink’s countertop, far from water sources, which feels safer (and code-compliant). Sleek, Low-Profile Design: The satin nickel finish blends seamlessly with my faucet and fixtures. The button sits flush against the sink, avoiding the clunky look of some switches. Dual Outlet Flexibility: While I only use it for my disposal, the dual outlet could power a secondary appliance, like a dishwasher, which is a thoughtful addition. Installation: Straightforward for a DIYer. Took about 20 minutes—drilling a 1-3/8” hole in the sink deck (use a hole saw) was the trickiest part. The included template and clear instructions made it manageable. Connecting the air hose to the disposal and power module was plug-and-play. Performance: The button responds instantly, activating the disposal with a light press. No lag or resistance, and it’s quiet compared to my old wall switch. The air-powered mechanism feels reliable, and after months of use, there’s no wear on the finish or button. Value: Pricier than basic switches, but worth it for avoiding electrician costs. The build quality justifies the price—no flimsy plastic parts or loose connections. Considerations: Requires a nearby electrical outlet for the power module (I tucked mine under the sink). Ensure your sink has enough space for the button; larger farmhouse sinks may need careful placement. Verdict: This kit is ideal for homeowners wanting a clean, safe switch solution without rewiring. It’s durable, intuitive, and elevates the kitchen’s functionality. A few points off for the outlet dependency, but overall, a smart investment for hassle-free disposal use.

about 10% cheaper here than at the box store. Installation is trivial: - pop out the plug in your spare counter hole and install the button - screw the main unit to the cabinet side under your sink. -connect the air line from the button to the unit - plug the unit into the wall - plug the disposal to the unit - done This is simpler to do than replacing a faucet. you do need an outlet under the sink. In my case I'm updating a disposal that was switched at the wall, so I just leave the wall switch on at all times, and use the new button to turn the disposal on/off. the switch is interesting, its actually a little air pump, and the line is a hose that connects down to the under-counter unit. This means there is no electricity up where you might be splashing water - nice safety feature. I was a little concerned about it being 'mushy' using air to actuate the main unit, but it just works flawlessly. This button is NOT momentary. Push once and the disposal turns on, push again and it turns off. Installed just a few days ago. overall I'm very happy, can't comment on durability yet, but right now I'd probably buy again.

Exactly what I needed. I had the piece on top; I just needed a plug and air setup. The look doesn't matter too much, except for the metal top, which was pretty enough (I had my own). The disposal works well; InSinkErator is a great company. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for, and it's not worth it to go cheap. Fits perfectly, although that tends to depend on the holes made in your countertop.

Update 3/4/24 The original is still going strong and we are very happy with the performance. We just installed a disposal into a rental property, and this seemed like a good feature to include. Disappointed that the price has gone up so much in 5 years, but that's another story. The plunger switch seems to be less well made - not as smooth of action and the "nickel" ring doesn't stay attached. Also, surprised it didn't come with mounting screws and anchors. Until I can get out to the hardware store, it's just sitting on the cabinet floor. Update 7/25/19 Had this a year now, and nothing has changed. Still works flawlessly, and keeps me out of an electrical circuit. Have yet to need the additional outlet! We’ve had it for a few weeks now, and it works great! I never liked flipping the electrical switch with wet hands. This is a nice, safe way to turn on the disposal. Installation was simple, as we already had a hole in our countertop. Appears to be well made. Not sure the value of the second outlet for me, but this was less expensive than the single outlet version.

Worked perfect! This is the identical unit that was available at one of the big box retail stores for more than twice the price. First try, the air button worked perfect.

Great product. As described by vender and arrived on time.

Es muy funcional para poner el triturador en la isla, trae 2 botones (cromo y blanco), abajo de la isla queda el conector doble para cualquier otra cosa que necesites conectar, lo único difícil en la instalación es enroscar la contra porque topa con los paneles de base y hay que rebajarlo un poco más para poderlo enroscar

I used this with a new InSinkErator garbage disposal and it worked perfectly. Installation was very easy, even as a first-time install. Everything fit as expected and it’s been working great since day one. Simple, solid, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Would definitely recommend.
