Brizo 69080 Brizo Air Switch with Dual Outlet

The Safer Way to Control Your Kitchen Disposal

A wall switch for the garbage disposal works until your hands are wet, soapy, or covered in food scraps. Reaching for an electrical switch in that condition is a safety risk. The Brizo 69080 Air Switch removes that risk entirely. The button on your countertop uses air pressure, not electricity, to activate the disposal. Press the button and a pulse of air travels through a flexible hose to the control box below. The control box switches the power. Your hands never touch an electrical component.

This matters in Canadian kitchens where safety standards are strict and homeowners want practical solutions. The air switch provides a cleaner, safer way to control the disposal without rewiring the kitchen or adding a bulky wall switch.

What the Dual Outlet Design Controls

Most air switches control one device. The Brizo dual outlet version controls two. The first outlet handles the garbage disposal. The second outlet connects to an additional accessory. That accessory could be a hot water dispenser, an instant hot tap, or another kitchen appliance that benefits from countertop control.

The dual outlet design means you do not need two separate switches cluttering the counter. One button controls the primary function. The second outlet operates independently based on how you set up the control box. This flexibility makes the Brizo air switch a practical upgrade for busy kitchens where multiple appliances need convenient control.

Solid Brass Button and Trim That Match Your Fixtures

The visible part of the air switch is the button and trim ring. Brizo makes these from solid brass, not plastic. The weight feels substantial under your finger. The finish matches other Brizo fixtures, so the air switch blends with your existing kitchen faucet and accessories.

The button sits flush or slightly raised on the countertop, depending on the installation. The trim ring covers the mounting hole cleanly. No visible screws, no exposed wiring, no awkward gaps. The result looks like a designed detail rather than a functional afterthought.

How the Air Switch Works

The system has three components: the button, the flexible hose, and the control box. The button mounts on the countertop or sink deck. The hose connects the button to the control box. The control box plugs into a standard electrical outlet under the sink. The disposal and accessory plug into the control box.

When you press the button, it creates a pulse of air pressure inside the hose. The control box senses that pulse and switches the connected devices on or off. No electricity flows through the button. The hose carries only air. This is why the air switch is safe to use with wet hands.

Installation That Takes Minutes

The air switch fits single hole openings from 1 1/4 to 1 3/8 inches. If your sink or counter already has a hole for a soap dispenser or sprayer, the air switch fits that opening. If not, a hole can be drilled in most countertop materials.

The control box plugs into a standard electrical outlet under the sink. The disposal plugs into the control box. The 6-foot flexible hose connects the button to the control box. The air switch must be mounted within 5 feet of the control box for the hose to reach.

No hardwiring is required. No electrician needed. Most homeowners can install the Brizo air switch in under 30 minutes using basic tools.

Where the Brizo Air Switch Works Best

This air switch works in any kitchen with a garbage disposal. It is especially useful in kitchens where the wall switch is inconveniently located or where adding a wall switch would require opening walls. The countertop button provides control exactly where you need it, next to the sink.

The dual outlet design also benefits kitchens with multiple appliances that need convenient control. If you have a hot water dispenser or instant hot tap, the second outlet handles that connection without another wall switch.

For a coordinated kitchen setup, pair the air switch with a pull down kitchen faucet in a matching finish. The Brizo finish options tie the fixtures together for a cohesive look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the air switch safe to use with wet hands?

Yes. The button operates on air pressure, not electricity. The control box under the sink handles the electrical connection. Pressing the button with wet or soapy hands carries no risk of electrical shock.

Can I control two devices with this air switch?

Yes. The dual outlet design controls the garbage disposal and one additional accessory. The second outlet works for a hot water dispenser, instant hot tap, or similar appliance. Check the control box specifications for power requirements before connecting accessories.

Does the air switch require an electrician for installation?

No. The control box plugs into a standard electrical outlet under the sink. The button mounts in the countertop hole. The hose connects the two. No hardwiring is required. Most homeowners complete the installation in under 30 minutes.

What size hole does the air switch require?

The air switch fits single hole openings from 1 1/4 to 1 3/8 inches. This is the standard size for soap dispensers and sprayer holes. If your sink does not have an existing hole, one can be drilled in most countertop materials.

How the Brizo Air Switch Compares to a Wall Switch

A wall switch requires electrical wiring to a specific location. It cannot be moved without opening walls. If the switch is far from the sink, you walk across the kitchen with wet hands to reach it. The Brizo air switch places the button right at the sink. The air-powered mechanism is safer, and the installation is far simpler than adding or relocating a wall switch.

For kitchens without a disposal, the air switch still provides convenient control for other accessories. The second outlet works independently, so you can connect a hot water dispenser or other appliance without a dedicated wall switch.
