In-Sink-Erator 11005 Disposer Splash Guard/Baffle 7-1/2" OD

Splash Containment:
Helps reduce upward movement of water and food particles generated during disposer operation. The flexible center opening allows waste and water to pass through while creating a partial barrier around the inlet. This arrangement supports a more controlled disposer opening during routine use.

Inlet Protection:
Creates a flexible barrier over the disposer opening that helps reduce accidental entry of larger unwanted objects. Its position at the inlet provides an additional layer of separation between the sink area and internal disposer components.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Disposer Splash Guard/Baffle if it is cracked, torn, hardened, deformed, worn, or no longer provides proper coverage at the disposer opening. The part number 11005 and 7-1/2" OD specification should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct splash guard/baffle is selected. Replace the splash guard/baffle if deterioration affects fit, coverage, debris control, or normal disposer operation.

Common Failure Symptoms:

• Baffle becomes cracked or torn.
• Material becomes hardened or loses its flexibility.
• Baffle becomes deformed around the disposer inlet.
• Coverage of the disposer opening is reduced.
• Increased splash or uncontrolled material movement occurs around the inlet.

Equipment Compatibility:
The In-Sink-Erator 11005 Splash Guard/Baffle is specified with a 7-1/2-inch outside diameter for disposer configurations requiring this component. Verify the equipment model, part number, dimensions, and inlet configuration before purchase.
