      Q:What is needed to go with this for a brand new build installation ?
      by|Apr 20, 2024
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi Mary, Thank you for reaching out to us. All the necessary parts required to hang the disposer under your sink are already included in the package. However, you will need to purchase the plumber's putty separately. Also, if you plan to connect the disposer to a power outlet, you must purchase a power cord kit, model CRD-00. You can also check out this installation guide we have online: https://support.insinkerator.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/577

            Installed without issue and working great. I purchased this to replace an older model InSinkErator Badger 500 that lasted 7+ years.

            Great products trusted durability
            Owned three homes over the years. InSinkErator's were in all of them. Got a new kitchen going in. Thought about reusing the present garbage disposal but i bought a new one. Will save 15.00 bucks and repurpose the electrical cord. I trust the InSinketator brand.

            But this kit doesn’t include electrical wire and clip. I have to take off from old garage disposal to install

            Response from InSinkEratorMay 1, 2023
            Hi! We appreciate your feedback. We offer both corded and uncorded units. Many retailers choose to carry the uncorded units with a separate power cord kit in order to accommodate as many people as possible. Each person's electrical situation is different, so if you have purchased an uncorded unit, you can find a power cord kit with part number 09008D at most retail stores or plumbing suppliers. For safety reasons, we do not recommend the use of an old power cord. If you require further help, feel free to contact us via https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. Thank you!

              Rusts out fast!
              The motor works fine and the install is easy. Unfortunately, this is the 2nd Badger 500 unit that rusted completely out and caused to leak down into the electrical compartment and out into the cabinet below. Clearly a manufacturing defect. This part should NOT rust so fast. Learned my lesson. Won't be replacing with this brand again or from Home Depot. It's not budget or earth friendly if it won't last. Truly a waste of a motor and other parts nearly new that continue to fill landfills.

              Hi JustLP, thanks for leaving your comments, and we’re sorry to hear about your Badger 500 that rusted. Exposure to water that sometimes appears to be coming from the bottom but might be coming from a higher place, like the mounting assembly is likely the cause of the rust. Additionally, our disposers can usually be recycled at a metal recycling center. The typical InSinkErator disposer is constructed of 80% metal, which can readily be recycled by a scrap metal dealer. If we can do anything else for you, feel free to reach us at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

                Just what we needed
                Our old Badger 500 lasted at least 10 years but recently started making noise. Bought this newer replacement model which is a little shorter. This helped make the installation easier and also provided more space underneath.
