Garbage disposal knockout plug.

Each knockout plug is typically stamped from the same type of material as the tube or hole it blocks. Lay the garbage disposal on its side with the dishwasher drain opening facing you. When knockout plug falls into disposer you may remove it or simply grind it up when the disposer is used. The plug is similar to the knockout plug on a metal electrical box and you remove it the same way.

The name is derived from the fact that if the orifice needs to be used the plug can literally be knocked out. Your disposer is ruggedly built to give you many years of trouble free service. As later in the same guide it provides these pearls of wisdom. Using the hammer lightly tap the back of the screwdriver against the knockout plug repeatedly.

Insert a screwdriver into the drain opening far enough to contact the plug then tap the screwdriver firmly with a hammer to knock out the plug.
