What is the orange spiral thing in the center do? Is it flexible? Does it extend into the drain?

It isn't flexible. The purpose is to spin and create a vortex and potentially break things up. It does not extend into the drain any further than a normal plunger. We found this to plunger to be messy and ineffective.

It goes down the drain and breaks up the fecal matter or paper that maybe in the clog. This plunger is about angles, force and the orange spiral creating disruption.

Yes. It is almost flat and, therefore does not go deep into the drain. It does, however, rust!

It does have a small slit drain underneath the section for silverware. It's handy for hanging over the edge of your sink, although in practice there isn't enough slope for the water to actually drain.

The control for the drain plug follows a mostly vertical motion as the control is extended. By almost vertical, I mean just that. It moves at a very slight angle, but I'd call it mostly vertical.

It drains right into the sink. The bottom is basically a colander. I really like it!

There is only one drain hole, and it is located in the center (and has a plug)

The drain itself is in the center, but under the drain/under the tub there is a flexible tube that can be routed under the tub wherever you want it.

No, it does not. Also the sink has a flat bottom so draining is not like a normal sink.

I agree with the other two responses. The drain goes in like any other drain. I am on about my third installation, though, because the first two had the support that holds the popup rot off after a couple years use each. I almost gave up on the pop-up and just went with an open drain, but the third one seems to be holding up so far.

the "wide mouth" is in reference to its own wide top opening, not its drain hole. if you want one with a wider exit hole, look for "canning" funnel, which has a larger opening at the bottom.

I just put it over the drain in my bathroom sink. Every once in a while, it doesn't form a seal so now I press it down with my fingers until there's about an inch of water covering it. That may be because the sink is curved. I am very happy with it, because now I only need one sinkful of water; before, the sink's plunger/stopper was leaking badly enough that I had to refill the sink to wash my hair.

Its the entire metal drain with the stopper (metal piece fits inside). Look at your sink you now have. This replaces the entire drain that is there.

Yes, it is long enough and it's angled slightly so the stream of water goes beyond the center of the sink.

This merely sits on the drain opening; it has nothing to do with the inside. It's merely a flap to collect debris and prevent it from going into the InSinkErator. You can push anything through it, but it stops spoons, etc. from falling into the InSinErator.

I believe the drain is in the center from left to right, but may be closer to the rear of the sink. You should be able to look at the product specs to confirm

Though it is flexible, it will stay whereever you position it. Been using it for about 3 months now, it is very good and the flow is excellent!

I would not recommend that you do. While the long end is meant to insert into the drain opening, the other end(w/hose clamp) is meant to attach to a ridged pipe. If you have to you might get away with it on a temporary basis, if you standby and monitor the entire run time. When they come apart they seldom give you any warning! Hope this helps.
