Does the code address the disposer switch location, i.e. how close to the sink is allowed? We want to use one of those air-operated switches in an unused hole in the sink itself. Any code issues with this?
Thanks!!

I've had them placed inside the sink itself. A Corian sink, switch placed on the higher left inside of the sink. No power is involved at that location. The air switch activates the high tension elsewhere in a protected location.
Great system. More people should use them.
Any code issues with this?
none that I've ever encountered.
