InSinkErator offers an entire range of accessories. They're made to the highest standards. And they are made to fit. So you know they'll work properly and install easily. Installations on thicker sinks, such as solid surface, porcelain, or cast iron, may require the use of alternate parts. Before removal of old disposer, measure existing mounting to assembly or measure sink thickness to determine whether an extended sink flange must be ordered. Please note that use of abrasive cleaners may harm this products finish. Genuine In-Sink-Erator Parts and Accessories Add a Touch of Elegance and Convenience.
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 Garbage 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).

Electrical Connections
Check to see if your disposer is hardwired or has a power cord plugged into an outlet. Depending on the electrical code in your area, you will have one type of connection or the other. Most disposers are sold without an attached power cord so that they may be used in either application. If you need a power cord, these can be purchased separately as an accessory. You may also purchase a unit with an attached power cord for this application.
