Garbage Disposal Air Switch Kit Brushed Gold - UL Listed Brass Button

In this review the BESTILL Garbage Disposal Air Switch Kit in brushed gold is judged for homeowners who want a safer, more attractive way to operate a disposer from the sink top. The bottom line: this is a simple, robust replacement for a wall switch when safety and finish matter most. The UL listed power module and all metal push button give confidence in daily use, and customers who prefer a matched metal finish will like how the brushed gold button complements common kitchen fixtures.

Key Features

• UL Certified power module: The included power control box carries a UL listing, which raises the safety standard beyond a cord-only listing and reduces worry about electrical risks.
• All metal construction: The thickened brass button and extra-long 304 stainless threaded plug are built to resist wear and keep the cap secure over time.
• Supports 2.5 HP disposers: Upgraded 14AWG wiring and 15A max load let this kit operate disposers up to 2.5 HP and work with most major brands.
• Easy countertop installation: The button fits a 1-3/8 in hole and the 3 in threaded plunger accommodates thin stainless sinks and thick stone counters alike.
• Cordless sink-top control: The air tube isolates the user control from the electrical module, making the sink-top switch cordless and safer to touch.
• Complete kit: The package ships with the power box, brushed gold button, 5 ft air tube, manual, and a 2-year limited warranty for added peace of mind.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at homeowners renovating kitchens or replacing a worn disposal switch who want a metal push button that matches faucets and fixtures. It is especially useful for people who prefer a sink-top control that keeps electrical components under the sink and adds a cleaner look to the countertop.

It is not targeted at buyers who need smart or remote operation, or those who cannot drill a 1-3/8 in hole in their countertop. Also, if a user requires a switch rated above 2.5 HP they should look for a heavier industrial control.
