Garbage Disposal Air Switch Kits

Safe, Easy Push-Button Control for Your Garbage Disposal

PresAir garbage disposal air switch kits let you turn your garbage disposal on and off with a push button mounted directly on your sink or countertop. The pneumatic design keeps electrical power away from the point of actuation, making it an ideal solution for kitchen islands and wet environments.

The Perfect Solution for Kitchen Islands

Installing a traditional wall switch isn’t always practical when your sink is located on a kitchen island. A garbage disposal air switch lets you install the control directly on the countertop or sink deck, eliminating the need to reach for a wall-mounted switch.

Presair Garbage Disposal Air Switches provide a safe, air-activated alternative to traditional wall switches. These switches mount easily to the sink or countertop, making them ideal for kitchen island installations. Compatible with all garbage disposals installed with AC below the sink.

Switches are available in momentary (press-on, release-off) or latching (press-on, press-off) configurations. The air button is available in chrome, white, or brushed nickel finishes to match kitchen fixtures. Custom colors & finishes available upon request.

  • Compatible with AC-powered garbage disposals
  • Ideal for kitchen island installations
  • Includes all fittings required for single-outlet installation
  • Air-activated to reduce electrical shock risk

How a Garbage Disposal Air Switch Works

Step 1 — Press the Button
The sink-top button creates a pulse of air.

Step 2 — Air Travels Through the Tube
The pneumatic signal travels through flexible tubing beneath the sink.

Step 3 — Disposal Turns On or Off
The air switch activates the electrical circuit controlling the disposal.

No electrical current at the button.

Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it. See what our customer’s say.

Purchase was handled promptly and I received the product in perfect condition. I choose this brand because others had no agency approvals that included the assembly, only the cord or none at all. I installed the switch and control and it works as it should.

Larry S.

Item arrived quickly and well packaged.

Anonymous

I love the switch, but the new one is smaller than the old one and doesn’t stay in place in the round hole in my cabinet baseboard. So I have it hanging from a hook in the cabinet until I figure it out.
