Answer summary
What is the Dual Button Air Switch DXF template for?
Dual Button Air Switch is a faucet & fixture holes DXF template for countertop fabrication. Use it only after matching the manufacturer, model, dimensions, variant, and shop workflow to the actual job.
Risk check: Similar-looking products can use different cutout geometry. Confirm the official spec, shop tolerance, material behavior, and CNC output before production.
Next step: Run a DXF check, compare related templates, and keep the current manufacturer spec with the job packet.
Template decision guide
Should you use the Dual Button Air Switch DXF template?
Use the template page to shortlist a production file, then verify the exact model, variant, and machine workflow before cutting.
Best fit
Dual Button Air Switch is most useful when the product, manufacturer, model, install type, and variant match the job you are fabricating.
What to compare
Compare model number, dimensions, reveal or overhang, bowl or appliance geometry, material thickness, and CNC output requirements.
Risk check
Do not use a similar-looking template as a final production file. Small changes in flange, radius, trim, or reveal can cause a failed cutout.
Evidence to verify
Check the current manufacturer spec, field measurement, template preview, DXF layers, and a shop-approved tolerance before production.

These notes are assembled from this exact template record, its category, available variants, and nearby template comparisons. They are meant to make the page more useful than a generic download page.
Exact record SlabWise is using
Dual Button Air Switch is filed under Faucet & Fixture Holes. The normalized record lists no normalized dimensions are listed in the template record, so the safest use is as a production starting point that still gets checked against the current job packet.
Variant choice
This record is shown as a single template variant. Treat that as a reason to verify reveal, overhang, and cutout assumptions before the file reaches production.
Category-specific production check
Faucet & Fixture Holes files should be checked for fit against material thickness, edge treatment, sink or appliance clearance, CNC layer expectations, and the shop's preferred tolerance before cutting customer material.

Installation Overview
Dual button air switches feature a more substantial button assembly than compact models, with the visible button typically measuring 1.75 inches in diameter while mounting through a 1.375-inch countertop hole in most configurations. The dual outlet configuration includes two separate air chambers within the button assembly, each connected to its own pneumatic line running to separate control modules beneath the counter. During installation planning, fabricators must account for routing two air tubes and positioning two power modules in the cabinet below, requiring more space than single-outlet models. The button location is typically placed between the sink and the primary work area for easy access, though island installations are increasingly popular in modern kitchen designs with large islands. Maximum deck thickness for most dual button models ranges from 1.5 to 2.125 inches, with some extended-thread models accommodating thicker materials like 3cm granite with laminated build-up edges. The dual outlet system requires adequate cabinet space below for the two control modules, each approximately 4x3x2 inches in dimension, plus clearance for electrical connections and appliance wiring.
CNC Cutting Notes
Cutting holes for dual button air switches requires careful attention to the specified diameter, which can vary by manufacturer and model. While the button face may measure 1.75 inches, the actual through-hole is typically 1.375 inches (1-3/8 inches) for most dual outlet models. Always program your CNC according to the specific air switch model specifications and verify dimensions against installation instructions before cutting expensive stone materials. Use diamond core bits for natural stone or carbide-tipped bits for engineered materials, ensuring the bit diameter precisely matches the required hole size. The slightly larger diameter compared to compact switches means more material removal and potentially more thermal stress during cutting, so ensure adequate coolant flow throughout the entire operation to prevent heat damage. For materials prone to edge chipping like quartzite, white marble, or light-colored engineered quartz, consider a two-stage cutting approach with a pilot hole followed by final dimension reaming. This technique reduces stress on the material and produces cleaner edges with less microcracking. The hole location should be precisely centered as programmed from your digital template to ensure the button sits aesthetically aligned with other deck-mounted fixtures like faucets and soap dispensers. Post-cut edge polishing may be visible around the hole perimeter once the button is installed, so maintain professional finishing standards with fine-grit polishing for exposed edges.
Material Compatibility
Dual button air switch templates work across the full spectrum of countertop materials used in residential and commercial installations. Natural stones like granite and marble are ideal candidates, offering sufficient thickness and structural stability for the mounting hardware and button assembly. Engineered quartz materials including Silestone, Caesarstone, and Cambria are equally compatible and actually provide more consistent cutting characteristics due to their homogeneous composition and uniform hardness. For ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton or Neolith, verify your CNC equipment can handle the extreme hardness (often exceeding Mohs 7) and adjust cutting parameters with slower feed rates and increased cooling. Solid surface materials like Corian can accommodate air switches but require careful attention to the torque applied during mounting to avoid stress cracking around the hole perimeter. The 1.375-inch hole diameter is considered a standard fabrication size, small enough to maintain material integrity while large enough for the threaded mounting assembly. Thinner 2cm slabs work fine but may require stainless steel washers or nylon spacers to properly secure the mounting nut without over-tightening. Always confirm the total material thickness including any build-up, laminated edges, or undermount reinforcement falls within the air switch manufacturer specifications.
Where to Buy
Dual outlet air switches are available from premium kitchen fixture retailers and professional plumbing suppliers nationwide. Delta offers their dual outlet models through Lowes and authorized dealers, typically priced between $80-150 depending on finish options like chrome, matte black, or champagne bronze. InSinkErator dual outlet SinkTop Switch is available at Home Depot, Ferguson, and Amazon with pricing around $100-175 for standard finishes and up to $200 for premium finishes. Kitchen Power Pop Ups specializes in dual outlet configurations with an extensive range of finishes from brushed stainless to oil-rubbed bronze, available through their website and select kitchen showrooms. Signature Hardware and other luxury kitchen retailers carry high-end dual button models with premium finishes designed to match luxury faucet collections from Kohler, Brizo, and Rohl. When specifying air switches for clients, fabricators should consider the total system cost including both control modules, electrical wiring, and professional installation labor. Most dual outlet kits include both power modules, mounting hardware, and sufficient air tubing for standard under-cabinet installations. Advise clients that dual outlet systems provide the convenience of controlling two appliances from one button location, reducing countertop clutter and creating a cleaner, more sophisticated aesthetic in luxury kitchen designs.
