NickS Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Shouldn't be much of a problem. What type of switch operates it now? If you just want to replicate what operates it locally, you will need to open the unit to look at the back of the switch, solder some wires to it of an appropriate length and run them to a second switch. How far away do you want to operate it from? If you e-mail a couple of pics of the front and back of the present switch I may be able to suggest something suitable.

deny essex Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 if it runs on a lose battery (one not fitted to a holder) just disconect one of the battery wires and connect it to one side of the switch lead to the hide and connect the other hide switch lead wire to the battery. Make sure the switch is in the "on" position on the flapper. As a flapper is low amp virtualy any standard found push switch will do the job for the hide lead.
