    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Bootsie, Thank you for the question. Our units can be installed on any sink without limitations. A disposer will fit a single or half bowl, stainless steel, or other material. The standard 3.5-inch (90-mm) sink opening is ideal and the disposer comes with an attachment for that size. A disposer should not vibrate or experience any issues when installed correctly, regardless of sink type.

        A:  Hi KenC, thank you for your question. The Badger 500 and Badger 5 garbage disposals have similar features and specifications. The only difference is that Home Depot exclusively retails the Badger 500, while the Badger 5 is available at any local retailer.

              A:  Hi Kelly! Badger 5 garbage disposal gas has galvanized steel grinding components. These components are coated with corrosion-resistant zinc and do not begin to discolor until this coating wears away.
