Product Identity

The Kingston Brass KA218 is a garbage disposal air switch button finished in brushed nickel. It mounts on the sink or countertop and uses a pneumatic hose to activate the disposer without electrical wiring at the wet surface.

Capacity and Headroom

The button provides a single actuation point for standard residential disposers, offering convenient on/off control from the countertop. It does not supply the disposer motor or the air hose, so those components must be sourced separately to complete the installation.

Thermals Noise and Power

The pneumatic switch itself draws no electricity and generates no heat or audible noise during operation. All power consumption and sound come from the disposer unit it controls, leaving the button thermally neutral and silent in normal use.

  • Convenient countertop activation for garbage disposal
  • Air-powered operation eliminates electrical wiring at sink

Questions about this item

Will the KA218 air switch button fit the existing countertop cut-out on my current sink?

The button mounts to the sink or countertop and connects to a hose that uses air pressure to activate the disposal, so it works with standard cut-outs used for similar air-switch installations.

How can I verify the KA218 is operating correctly once installed?

Press the brushed nickel button; a burst of air travels through the hose to the control unit and the disposal should start immediately, confirming the pneumatic link is working.

Does the KA218 package include the air hose and control box, or must they be purchased separately?

The supplier description covers only the button itself; the air hose and the disposal control unit are separate components you will need to source or reuse from your existing setup.
