KINGSTON BRASS KASK318 Garbage Disposal Air Switch Kit Brushed

Single-Outlet Air Switch Kit

The Kingston Brass KASK318 provides a pneumatic control for a garbage disposal, allowing the user to activate the unit with a countertop-mounted button rather than a wall switch. It is intended for residential kitchen installations where a cleaner sink area is desired. The kit includes the push button, an air tube, and the single-outlet power module required for operation.

Sustained Operation Reliability

The pneumatic hose transmits air pressure to the power module, mechanically switching the disposal on and off without electrical contacts at the wet countertop location. This design maintains consistent actuation over repeated daily cycles because the switching mechanism is isolated from moisture and food debris. The sealed air pathway prevents the intermittent failures common with electrical switches exposed to sink splash.

Thermal And Power Characteristics

The control button and air tube remain at ambient temperature during normal use because they carry no electrical current. Heat generation is confined to the power module enclosure, which houses the line-voltage switching components. The kit operates silently at the countertop, with only the disposal motor producing audible sound once activated.
