Am try to install new garbage disposal and have a quick electrical quesiton.

GD Unit came with (3-prong) electrical cord attached. *Unfortunately the

have to ask. *If this is not acceptable, I think the next solution is to
install a new electrical outlet under the sink...

BTW, whoever installed the last one wasn't too A-R about it: there were
no "romex connectors" going into the junction box, coming out the
junction box, or going into the garbage disposal unit. **Scotch tape*
was used to cover the sharp edges on the knock-outs on the junction
box.... *: (

Thank you,

Put a receptacle under the sink, GFI if you want. Operate the GD with
a pneumatic switch which I bought from HD....on the same shelf as the
GD's.
The switch mounts in the countertop (3/4" hole, IIRC) next to the
tap... handy as a pocket on a shirt....as a bag of chips?....
