A:  Hi Steve, thank you for reaching out to us. This model has a dishwasher drain connection. To connect the dishwasher, you can get a dishwasher connector kit, which is an easy and fast way to connect. You can find the instructions on how to connect the dishwasher to your disposal in step 15 of the installation manual. Here is the link for the manual: https://insinkerator.emerson.com/documents/badger-5-installation-care-use-manual-english-en-us-7832790.pdf

A:  Thank you for your inquiry, Vivi! The disposer comes with an attached power cord, so there's no need to purchase a separate one. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. We'll be more than happy to assist you.

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.

A:  Hi Rita, thanks for reaching out! We offer both corded and uncorded units. This one is uncorded, so you can either buy the power cord kit (model: CRD-00) separately or you can look for a Badger 5 with cord, which is model #79883A-ISE.

A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, to better answer your question, please contact our HD.com customer service department at 800-430-3376 call any day between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. EST, or call your local store, they can either answer your question or transfer you to your local store to answer your specific question.

A:  Hi Lynn, thank you for reaching out. The rubber on top of your disposer cannot be easily removed because it also serves as a mounting gasket. However, you can purchase the Baffle Upgrade Kit (model BUK-00) to upgrade the mounting gasket on the Badger Series disposer to a removable Quiet Collar baffle. This will allow you to easily remove it from the sink for cleaning purposes.

A:  Hi Jennifer, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the standard 3.5 inches (90mm) sink opening is ideal and the disposer comes with an attachment for that size.

A:  Hi KCLN, thanks for the question. Yes, the Badger 1 can replace the Badger 500. This one has a factory-installed power cord, so please check whether your existing unit is hardwired or plugged into an outlet. If it's hardwired, make sure to get the non-corded unit. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us via https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

A:  Thank you for reaching out to us, Gary. Yes! The power cord has already been attached to this disposer. If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. Thank you for choosing InSinkErator.
