A:  Hi Gerr, thank you for your question. We do not recommend that a factory-installed cord be removed and used on another disposer. The cord is attached using plastic clips that are not meant to be removed. However, we have a power cord kit available that comes with all the necessary components to install a power cord on an uncorded disposer. The model number for this kit is CRD-00.

A:  Hi Paul, we appreciate your inquiry. Yes, this model will work as a replacement for your disposal. If you have a hard-wired connection under your sink, you need a disposal without a power cord.
