Acc description

This air switch kit is crafted from solid unlacquered brass and gives a garbage disposal a countertop push-button control, avoiding a hardwired wall switch near the sink.

  • Material: solid unlacquered brass button and trim
  • Function: air-activated switch for garbage disposal units
  • Finish options: available in multiple brass and copper-tone finishes
  • Installation: countertop-mounted, connects via air tube to disposal unit

How does an air switch work? Pressing the button sends an air pulse through a tube to a control module that turns the disposal on or off, with no electrical wiring at the button itself. Will the brass button finish age with handling? Yes, unlacquered brass develops patina from regular hand contact over time.

Acc materials
Each piece is cast, spun and hand-finished in the brass ateliers of Fès, where metalworkers have shaped copper and brass for over a thousand years. Solid brass throughout — never plated — so the surface you touch is the metal itself. Small variations in tone and hammering are the signature of the hand, not a flaw.

Acc care
Unlacquered brass and copper are living finishes: they deepen and gather patina with touch, water and time. Wipe dry after use and clean with a soft cloth and mild soap only — never abrasives or acids. To slow the patina, apply a thin coat of carnauba wax a few times a year; to restore brightness, a gentle brass polish will bring back the glow. Patina can always be polished away and begun again.
