CONNECT DISPOSER TO MOUNTING ASSEMBLY

Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting the disposer.
Do not position your head or body under disposer; unit could fall during
installation.
1. Position disposer with three mounting tabs (A) aligned in position to slide over mounting
tracks (B) (see Figure 10-1).
2. Lift disposer, insert top end (mounting gasket) into mounting assembly, and turn lower
mounting ring to right (with wrenchette or screwdriver) until mounting tabs lock over ridges
(C) on mounting ring tracks (see Figure 10-2). (MAKE SURE ALL THREE MOUNTING TABS
ARE LOCKED OVER RIDGES.) Disposer will now hang by itself.

ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN
Do not use thread sealants or pipe dope; they may harm the disposer and
cause property damage.

1. Slide metal flange (A) over discharge tube (B) (see Figure 11-1).
2. Rubber gasket (C) must be installed on top end of discharge tube. Secure metal flange and
Discharge tube to disposer with bolt (D).
3. Rotate disposer so that discharge tube is aligned with drain trap. (To prevent leaks, do not
pull or bend discharge tube to drain trap.) If discharge tube is too long, cut off as much of
tube as necessary with hacksaw (make sure cut is straight and clean.) If discharge tube is too
short, you can purchase an extension from a hardware store. (Disposer must remain in vertical
position to prevent vibration.)
4. Place P-trap nut, then beveled washer (not supplied) on bottom of discharge tube and tighten
on drain trap. (If you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides.)
5. Ensure lower mounting ring is securely locked over mounting flange ridges.
Although the supplied discharge tube is preferred, a straight discharge may be used. Slide
metal flange over straight discharge tube (not supplied), install rubber gasket onto discharge
tube, and secure metal flange and straight discharge tube to disposer with one bolt (see Figure
11-2).

CONNECT DISHWASHER DRAIN (IF APPLICABLE)
In some areas, codes require that the dishwasher be connected to the disposer
through an air gap (A). (See Figure 12-1) (An air gap prevents waste water backflow
and/or dishwasher contamination.) Ensure knockout plug is removed (see I I n n s s t t r r u u c c t t i i o o n n
8 8 ). Plumbing connections must comply with local plumbing codes.
•If you have a 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) ID diameter dishwasher drain hose, use a hose clamp
to attach the drain hose to the dishwasher inlet. (Verify that hose you are using is
rated for dishwasher use.)
•If you have already attached a dishwasher drain connector to your dishwasher drain
hose (for drain hose other than 7/8 inch [2.2 cm] ID diameter), use a hose clamp to
attach the drain hose/connector to the dishwasher inlet on the disposer.
