Dakota Plumbing Products DSA-EAS-CR Air Switch Chrome

Product Description

The DAKOTA PLUMBING PRODUCTS DSA-EAS-CR is a counter top-mounted external air switch designed to control waste disposer operation without direct electrical contact at the switch point. The unit uses pneumatic activation: pressing the button sends an air pulse through a connected tube to a remote power module, which completes the circuit and powers the disposer. This approach keeps line voltage away from the sink deck, improving safety in wet environments. The kit ships complete with all hardware needed for a standard single-hole counter top installation and is finished in chrome to suit transitional kitchen designs.

This air switch is intended for residential and light-commercial kitchen applications where a garbage disposal is installed and a separate activation point is preferred or required. It mounts in a standard counter top knockout and connects to the disposal power module via the included 40-inch air tube. Plumbers and kitchen remodelers install this type of accessory during new construction or when retrofitting an existing disposer setup to move the control point to the counter surface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced remodeler. Shut off power at the circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting any wiring at the power module. The power module should be mounted in a dry, accessible location under the sink cabinet per NEC guidelines for wet location proximity. Do not overtighten the plastic mounting nut on the counter top button body, as the fitting is designed for hand-tight plus a quarter turn to avoid cracking.
