InSinkErator Power Cord Kit #CRD-00

This cord kit will work with any brand/model of disposer.

InSinkErator disposers do not include a cord in the box because many installers will choose to use non-metallic (NM) sheathed cable (e.g., Romex� brand) hard-wired directly to the disposer. If a power cord was included, those customers would be paying for a cord they didn't need.

If the disposer won't be hard-wired, connect this power cord kit to the disposer, and plug the cord into a receptacle inside the sink-base cabinet.

If there is no receptacle there, you can:

a) hire an electrician to install one
b) obtain a homeowner electrical permit from your local government, do it yourself, and have it inspected
c) do it yourself without a permit (a violation in most jurisdictions)

Since many homeowner's will choose "c", here are some suggestions for installing a new receptacle inside the sink-base cabinet:

- turn the power for the disposer circuit off at the main panel;
- feed the disposer's existing NM cable coming from the wall into the rear of a steel surface mounted utility (or recessed) electric box. Remove a knock-out from the steel box and install a 3/8" connector to protect the cable.
- The National Electric Code(NEC) requires a box for a disposer to be "accessible"; it cannot be hidden, such as behind the dishwasher.
- secure the bare ground wire from the NM cable to the steel box with a machine screw used for no other purpose, and to the grounding terminal on the receptacle.
- secure the white wire to the receptacle's silver terminal and the black wire to the gold terminal.
- turn the power on and use a receptacle tester (sold by Amazon & others) to verify proper receptacle wiring.

Many flat electric cords like this one do not have color coded hot and neutral wires (usually black and white respectively). With this SPECIFIC cord:

- the neutral and hot wires are both black;
- the neutral wire's insulation is ribbed for identification; connect it to the white wire from the disposer;
- attach the un-ribbed wire to the disposer's black wire;
- attach the green wire to the ground screw in the disposer's built-in electric "box".

Any flexible three-wire cord could be used for a disposer, as long as it meets specific rules for insulation thickness, moisture resistance, proper gauge, and cord length (18" to 36"). This cord meets Underwriter's Laboratory and National Electrical Code standards.

I found the two included wire-nuts to be too small and used larger wire-nuts from my stock. One star off for that. Other than that, this cord kit is just fine.
