Reliable 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Disposal
This Badger 5 unit is a continuous-feed garbage disposal built around a 1/2 hp Dura-Drive induction motor with galvanised steel grinding components. It is designed for homeowners who want an affordable, American-built disposer that handles everyday food scraps and fits existing InSinkErator mounting hardware for a quicker installation.
Continuous Feed Operation Limits
Continuous feed models run while the wall switch is on, so water must flow steadily during use and only suitable food waste should enter the chamber. The design is not intended for fibrous, starchy or hard items such as bones, fruit pits or large amounts of peelings that can jam the grind ring or clog downstream plumbing.
Check Mounting And Power Before Ordering
Verify that your sink flange and mounting assembly match the InSinkErator Quick Lock or 3-bolt pattern so the compact body seats without modification. Confirm a switched electrical outlet or hard-wire connection is available under the sink and that local codes permit a 1/2 hp disposer on the intended circuit.
