Some of you must have faced this in the past. All comments greatly appreciated. Ivan Vegvary http://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/Ho...TopSwitch.aspx I looked at the pdf file. the brochure. What does the dispenser dispense. Nice. Somehow I always thought the push button switches operated differently. With all the discussion of putting the switch at a safe distance, the brochure shows this switch only a foot from the mouth of the disposal . The question is one of electrical safety, Maybe for you that is the question, but it was not the question most people in this thread discussed. not someone with an irrational desire to cram their hand into a spinning disposal. Nor was that the topic, but there are almost always more than two choices. The topic discussed here was accidentally turning on the disposal when one's hand was in it. Nothing to do with irrationallity. Read the posts again if you don't believe me. The pneumatic switch setup provides 100% electrical isolation and flexibility in positioning and those are its primary purposes. AFAIK there are places where this or a similar arrangement are mandatory in the electrical code although I've never lived in one of them. Nothing in your post changes what I said. |
