Know before you buy
No, the InSinkErator 79883A-ISE does not include a power cord or plug kit. You will need to purchase one separately or hardwire the unit directly to your electrical supply.
This unit uses the Quick Lock® Sink Mount system. If you are replacing an older InSinkErator model, you can likely reuse the existing mounting hardware, making the installation process much faster.
The 1/2 HP Dura-Drive® induction motor is well-suited for daily kitchen scraps like vegetable peels, soft fruits, and cooked leftovers. It is designed for standard residential use, though it is best to avoid putting large bones or fibrous materials like corn husks through any disposer.
The unit measures 7.00 x 12.00 x 7.00 inches. Be sure to measure the clearance beneath your sink drain to ensure you have enough vertical space for the disposer and the necessary plumbing connections.
Galvanized steel is treated to resist corrosion, making it a durable choice for the internal grinding components. However, like any metal disposer, it is best to run cold water for several seconds after use to flush the chamber and keep the system clean.
