oldbat2be, we put our tapmaster only on our bigger island sink, not the "cleanup" sink. I guess it might be our "prep" sink even though it's bigger than the other sink. I don't know if we'll miss it on the other sink since our kitchen isn't done yet, but you could always add it later as I don't think it's too hard to retrofit. Fitting all that stuff I would think might be a challenge. We have a farmhouse sink and our plumber was worried about fitting an instant hot, a water chiller, a tapmaster and a garbage disposal under there in a 36" wide cabinet. We gained a few inches b/c we made our island taller (unrelated reasons) but they still said it was a lot to cram under there. Are you using the Hafele foot pedal for your trash? You know it's only for frameless cabinets right? My cabinet maker had to modify it to work w/ our non-frameless ones. Not sure how he is doing it, but it is costing us more than 1 hr. of his time in the quote. I believe (but am not certain) that there was also a comment that the instructions came only in German! ICFgreen, Brizio (I believe) also makes a faucet like the Touch. We originally thought of using the touch but it does not go w/ our kitchen at all. The good thing about the tapmaster is you can use any faucet you want.

I knew I'd find an application for these somewhere! Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.hettichamerica.com/hus/ns_easys.htm

As far as I know Jbrazmania, no one has managed to figure out a way to use it with inset doors...framed, yes, but inset...not yet anyway! For those interested, the Häfele foot pedals are designed for frameless cabinets. However, our own MeToo2 figured out a way to use them w/framed cabinets.

In your picture, the cans sit on a base. I believe that my modifications will also work with your situation (cans sitting on a base). However, you will need to make one minor modification that I did not do. That modification has to do with the elastic cords that come with the pedal. Elastic cords (ie, bungee cords) pull the door open when the pedal is kicked. You would have to alter where the front of the cords are mounted inside the cabinet. Very easy to do. Earlier posts on this thread refer to a version of the Hafele pedal for trash cans which sit on a base. I have not seen this product. I suspect they use the identical pedal, but altered the instructions relative to the location where to mount the elastic cords. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hafele foot pedal (502.15.220) for bins hanging from rails (see bottom of page): .....

As an update, the inset pull-out trash drawer was installed and I had GRAND plans to figure out how to install a foot pedal opener but after using it for a couple months I've found I really don't mind pulling it open! Funny the things you think you HAVE to have that you really don't! I'm just grateful my trash is all hidden away...
