Insinkerator STS-SO Single Outlet Sinktop Switch

Product Description

The INSINKERATOR STS-SO is an air-activated sink top switch designed as a convenient alternative to a traditional wall switch for controlling a garbage disposal. The unit mounts directly to the sink deck or countertop, eliminating the need for a separate wall-mounted switch location. Air activation means no electrical current passes through the push button itself, which reduces shock risk in wet environments near the sink. The STS-SO is a single-outlet model, providing one switched outlet for the disposal. It suits residential kitchens where a wall switch location is impractical, such as island installations.

This switch is well suited for residential kitchen installations where the disposal is located on an island or peninsula and running a wall switch circuit is not practical. It works with any brand of garbage disposal and mounts to a standard sink knockout or countertop hole. A licensed electrician or experienced plumber typically handles installation. The unit is compatible with standard residential electrical circuits used for disposal applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or plumber familiar with residential kitchen wiring and local NEC requirements. Shut off power at the circuit breaker before making any wiring connections. The switch mounts to a standard sink knockout or a drilled countertop hole using the hardware provided. Do not install where the air tubing will be kinked or pinched, as this will prevent proper actuation.
