          Q:I am replacing my Badger 5 series 3/8 hp. I can’t find this particular one. Is it cool to use the badger 5. 1/2 hp instead and should I buy a new power cord or will the current one I have work with the new disposal?

          Answer This Question

          A:  Hello Harley, thank you for reaching out to us. Yes! You can use this model as a replacement for your old Badger disposal. The mounting connection under the sink and the plumbing line up the same for all Badger models, making replacements easy. However, we do not recommend removing a factory-installed cord or an old power cord from an old disposal and using it on another disposal. We have a power cord kit (model: CRD-00) available that contains all of the necessary parts to install a cord on an uncorded disposal.

              A:  Hi Roger, appreciate your inquiry. Yes, this model has the same mounting connection, and the plumbing lines up the same way under the sink as your old disposal. However, it has less horsepower than your previous one. It has a 1/3 HP motor compared to the 3/4 HP motor of your old disposal.
