Insinkerator Badger5 1/2 HP Garbage Disposal with Cord Details
The Badger 5 model provides offers a heavy duty motor and space-saving compact design that is economical to operate. Badger style food waste disposers are a reliable and functional choice when affordability is the prime concern. With an InSinkErator food waste disposer in your kitchen, chicken bones, fruit rinds, coffee grounds and more can go right in the sink, where they are virtually liquefied to safely flow into your sewage system or septic tank. This will create a cleaner food preparation area, and less bagged garbage cluttering your home. The Badger 5 features 1/2 HP heavy duty motor (Quiet Dura-Drive Induction Motor), rugged galvanized steel construction for durability, compact design, continuous feed, and an attractive waterbourne grey enamel finish.
When food waste is placed in a disposer, it lands on a turntable spinning at high speed. Centrifugal force and the impellers (or lugs) attached to the turntable push the food waste against a stationary shredder ring. The food is ground into small particles so that, when mixed with water, it can safely flow through your plumbing and into your wastewater system or septic tank.
How to Install a Food Waste Disposer
Step 1: Install sink-mount assembly (new installation or different sink mounting)
Turn off the electrical supply at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Disconnect the sink drain and plumbing connections. Clean off the sink opening. Using plumber's putty, install the new disposer sink flange into the sink drain and connect the sink-mounting assembly. (Skip step two and move to step three.)
Step 2: Remove old disposer (replacements with similar sink mounting)
Turn off the electrical supply at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Disconnect the old disposer's plumbing connections and remove the disposer from its mounting. Disconnect the old disposer�s electrical connections.
Step 3: Make electrical connections
Connect the wiring to the new disposer following the code in your area.
Step 4: Dishwasher connections
If you are connecting the disposer to a dishwasher, be sure to knock out the dishwasher plug and remove the loose plug from the disposer. If you are not connecting the disposer to a dishwasher, then leave the plug intact.
Step 5: Connect new disposer
Mount the new disposer onto the sink-mount assembly and reconnect the plumbing--including the dishwasher hose if applicable. Turn on the electrical power to the disposer at the circuit breaker.
Step 6: Make plumbing adjustments
Lock the disposer in place, make final plumbing adjustments, and check for any leaks.
Recommended tools for installation: Slotted screwdriver, Adjustable pliers, Plumber's putty (if replacing sink flange), Electric hard-wire connector, 3/4-inch conduit connector, Power-cord kit (if needed).

Noise Levels
Noise from a disposer is primarily caused by the transmission of vibration from the disposer to the sink or the countertop as well as from the grinding process itself. The majority of disposers do not feature insulation. However, InSinkErator Evolution series have sound insulation wrapped around the outside of the disposer body to reduce noise. Other models also feature noise-reducing technologies, including noise-reducing sink baffles, anti-vibration sink mounts, and anti-vibration tail pipes to significantly reduce the noise produced by a disposer.
