Can you mount this switch on a backsplash? My contractor thinks that the bend in the hose could be a problem. It's also an outside wall.

I don't know about on the backsplash. We put ours in one of the holes in the sink that is for soap or a spray hose. Works great.

My main concern with that install would be securing the button and servicing it if there were any issues. With the counter top placement, you can access the underside and the top. So, if the air hose came loose, or the mount was loose, you can access it all to fix it. If you mounted it to the backsplash, and you don't do a separate "box" for it where you could pull it out and access it, you better be sure that is never going to have a problem.

You have it hooked up backwards. I am not sure this is possible unless you have flexible moveable pipes.

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

I would suggest you go onto kohlers website, they provide excellent specs. as the mounting holes are on the sides, not the back, you probably cannot mount it in plaster that deep unless you surface mount

As others have said. Make sure you attach it to studs the weight of the hose with water in it could cause some damage if not properly installed. With that said though 2 decent sized screws into a stud and you should be fine.

its a extra work and i think thats possible. a great idea! just need to use the extended the hose. somehow make your own custume bracket to hold to the wall.

Its best to check with your local bldg. code office (phone call should work)! I use mounting brackets in drywall (these are plastic drywall brackets)!

I'm thinking it's the best smartest use to be wall mounted. Mine didn't come with feet so you could mount it on a plank but there is no mention of tip over safety switch so it would be very risky!

As it comes out of the box, I would say no. The unit comes with just two "keyhole" slots in the back to slide over and hang from screws you would insert into the wall. That said, I did mount mine to a railing, by first mounting a board to the railing and the the mailbox to the board. Hope that helps.

Honestly I never got around to attempting it, but I'm sure you could. It's a pretty compact switch but if you're careful after prying off the back to drill a small hole in the plastic for maybe a single screw I would imagine it's not much of a chore. Double stick tape is actually okay- just use "good" tape. I use strong 3m automotive grade tape (as used to hold ground effects and Fiberglas trim on cars and trucks) start with a clean surface and this stuff will hold as well as a screw. In fact someone would have to destroy the doorbell button to pull it off. The trick with using tape is to not to let it look like you used tape. A neat job and anyone would assume it's mounted with hardware. I might be hesitant to pry it apart to compromise it's weather resistance. You might even dremel off a couple of screw heads and glue them on the face of the switch. For the price of this item, I really can't complain. Oh so much can be done with powerful tape, nydeodium magnets and industrial velcrow!

It's to be installed flush-mount through the wall, so it should be properly hard-wired from the house-wiring inside the wall, possibly with a more conveniently located (lower) wall switch. If not work-competent, have someone who is, install it.

I haven't hooked it up outside, but I wouldn't if it's going to get rained on. Their are some bare electrical components inside that might arc. Though, they do sell enclosures for things like this at most hardware stores you could pick up for just a few dollars that would keep water out. That would solve that problem.

I would not do that. The switches do not appear to be designed for exterior use, in my opinion.

I mounted it with a simple wall, on/off switch, but I can't imagine why a timer switch wouldn't work..........Actually, it sounds like a great idea.............Good luck.

You can do it either way. It sticks out a little far for my tastes when you hang it on the wall, so I went to a lot of trouble to move studs and relocate plumbing in order to recess it. But it looks fine if you don't recess it.

Yes it can be , there are two mounts on the back, like MFMIFM said who commented to you. This is a great purchase and you will find it very useful......Braden in my own personal observation of this hardware, I would not mount it as it works better when you moves the mounts to the size you need, without having to try and mount it on a wall. I have it a while now, and trust me I adjusted it to my electrical need, all plugs are not the same. I hope this helps you. I just love mine !!! GeeDEE

I concur with A. Eller. I measured 2.5 inches so it may just work if you can live with it touching the backsplash but I would consider other options.
