I am looking for a unit that will be direct wired (no outlet). Will this unit work?

Yes it can. It comes corded so you have to remove the bottom plate first and once that is removed you have to remove each of the three wires, hot neutral and ground. Then remove the rubber cord seal from the cord and fish your wires through that seal, then attach the three wires in their proper locations, put the rubber seal back in place. This is assuming of course that you have a switch already attached to the wires. The manual that comes with this unit has instructions for both. This will also extend the amount of time required to install.

Definitely! Just cut the plug off and use wire nuts to connect to a switch on your kitchen circuit.

It comes with they typical cord and 3-pronged plug. I am not at the house where I installed it to see if direct wiring via Romex and a cable clamp is practical, but why not just terminate your present wiring to a "handy box" under your sink that has a duplex outlet installed in it, and just plug this (or any other) garbage disposal into the outlet? Most disposals are equipped w/ a normal appliance cord, and this one is so reasonably priced, you could easily afford the $4 for the box, outlet, and box cover with the savings.

It comes with a 3 prong AC plug on it. You could cut it off at the plug and hardwire if you wished. BTW this is a very noisy disposal.

I direct wired it but it wasn't easy to remove the plug. I ended up having to cut the cord and mutilate the grommet the cord went through in order to get it out. In my opinion if there's one without a cord that's a few dollars more I'd buy that one.

It does not have a plug and would need to be wired into an electrical junction box.

you need a outlet or you can wire it direct but it has to be 110 120 volts to work. Batteries will not work. hope this helps you. Jack

Yes Charles....the unit has a plug-in cord. It is not hard-wired into a receptacle.

No you must direct wire it to source. Very short wire, may have to add wire.

Yes. That were the case and problem I encountered. Either you have to hire an electrician to install the unit directly or to purchase a 240 V cord (from $20 to $40) and connect to outlet. There is a catch though. According to two techs from the company I spoke of the issue, if you install a cord by yourself, the warranty would be negated. That was the reason I returned the unit.

This unit is DC powered, so I'm assuming you are referring to a DC powered system where you are wiring directly to a 12V DC power source... try it!

It plugs directly into an outlet. Beware these units are highly unreliable, read my review for my results. They are cheaply built and have a high failure rate.

I don't believe so as it has to be plugged in to a single outlet,and it operates off of the remote

This unit needs to be plunged in using a standard phone wire and also plunged into a electric outlet. This unit is not wireless.

This is a 240 volt unit. It requires higher voltage wiring (can't just use a normal 110 volt plug in). It doesn't come with a "plug". It's intended to be hardwired from your household electrical breaker box directly to the unit, although a pigtail could be added for plugging in to a dryer style receptacle (for portability and quick disconnect purposes). An electrician is highly recommended...

Manufacturer recomments to be pluged directly to outlet, using an extension the outlet may trip,Hope that helps,RegardsYanis

This model will work, but it plugs into an outlet. It is not hard wired, like some older models were. You'd have to make sure of the connections.

Must be wired only for power. This is a simple set-up. I'm very pleased with it.

This unit is a direct wire unit and does not come with any electrical connection cord. You need to buy the cord for plug in or direct wire it to an existing electrical connection in your home.

It needs to be wired in. I was replacing an older unit that no longer worked so was an easy fix for me

The 9940 is equipped with a standard 3-prong plug (110v USA House Current) on a 3 ft cord. It is not really feasible to directly wire this unit because a proper direct-wire connection is not possible due to the recessed hole for the cord. So if you have a direct-wire unit now, plan on installing a junction box and the outlet before you can plug this unit in. Or, just go purchase another direct-connect unit.
