Danco 9D00010685 Top Mount Air Switch Garbage Disposal

Product Description

The DANCO 9D00010685 is a top mount air switch designed to control garbage disposal units without direct electrical contact. The switch mounts through a standard countertop hole and uses pneumatic air pressure transmitted through a small tube to activate a remote power module, keeping the activation point away from water and wet hands. This design meets common safety requirements for sink-area electrical controls. Plumbers and kitchen remodel contractors install this type of switch as an alternative to wall switches or disposer-mounted controls.

This air switch is suited for residential kitchen installations where a countertop-mounted activation button is preferred over a traditional wall switch. It fits into an existing knockout or pre-drilled hole in the countertop or sink deck. The unit is sold individually and works in conjunction with a compatible power module that connects inline between the disposal and the outlet. No specific model restrictions are stated in the available product data.

Key Features

• Top mount design installs through a standard countertop or sink deck opening
• Pneumatic activation keeps the contact point free of direct electrical current
• Eliminates the need for a dedicated wall switch for disposal control
• Sold as a single unit for individual replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install air switch for residential garbage disposal systems requiring a countertop-mounted pneumatic activation button.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified contractor in accordance with local plumbing and electrical codes. Disconnect power to the garbage disposal at the circuit breaker before beginning any work. The air tubing must be routed from the countertop button to the remote power module without kinks or sharp bends that could restrict airflow. Ensure the mounting hole diameter matches the switch body before installation.
