Product Information

Full details

The Coysie Air Switch is designed for homeowners and kitchen renovators looking for a safe, convenient, and water-isolated method to operate an under-sink waste disposal unit. By utilizing air pressure to trigger the switch, it eliminates the need for electrical wall switches near wet areas, providing enhanced safety in the kitchen; however, users must ensure they have adequate clearance for the control box and the required 32mm hole diameter for the button installation.

FAQs

Does this switch require a separate power supply?

No, it connects directly to your 230VAC UK 13A mains power.

Can the air tube be extended?

It is not recommended to extend the tube, as it may affect the pressure required to trigger the latching mechanism.

Is the button waterproof?

While the button is water-resistant, it should not be submerged in water.

What is the diameter of the hole required?

You need to drill a 32mm diameter hole to install the stainless steel button.

Is this compatible with all waste disposal units?

It is compatible with most standard waste disposal units operating on 230VAC mains power.

Troubleshooting

The disposal unit does not turn on when the button is pressed.

Check that the 230VAC mains power is connected correctly and ensure the air tube has no kinks or air leaks.

The switch fails to latch or requires multiple presses.

Inspect the air tube connection at both the button and the control box; ensure it is pushed firmly onto the ports.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases kitchen safety by separating electricity from water zones
  • Easy-to-use latching mechanism avoids holding a button while operating
  • High-quality stainless steel construction resists rust and wear
  • Includes essential cabling and tubing for a complete installation kit

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade drilling for a 32mm mounting hole in sink or worktop
  • Limited by the 1.5m air tube length for installation proximity
  • Not suitable for low-voltage or non-UK standard electrical systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your power source is 230VAC 13A. Drill a clean 32mm hole in your desired location, pass the button through, and secure it underneath. Connect the 1.5m air tube to both the button and the control unit. Ensure the control unit is mounted in a dry, well-ventilated area under the sink cabinet, away from direct pipe leaks or standing water. For maintenance, periodically wipe the stainless steel button with a damp microfiber cloth to remove soap residue or lime scale, and check that the air tube is not kinked or obstructed to ensure smooth pressure transmission.
