CHECK INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
A: Disposer Height
B: Distance from bottom of sink
bowl to centerline of discharge
outlet. (Add 1/2" when stainless
steel sink is used.)
C: Distance from centerline of
the discharge outlet to end
of discharge tube.
D: Disposer Width
E: Distance from disposer vertical
centerline to centerline of
P-trap connection.
F: Centerline of disposer discharge to centerline at waste pipe entering wall.
(Dimension "F" must be greater than 1/4" to prevent standing water in disposer.)
If replacing an existing disposer, skip ahead to Instruction
If this is a first time installation, continue with Instruction
DISCONNECT SINK DRAIN
1. Loosen nut (A) at top of "P-trap" with pipe wrench (see Figure 2-1).
2. Loosen nut (B) at top of extension pipe. Remove extension pipe.
3. Loosen nut (C) at base of sink flange.
(If nut is corroded or too tight, apply penetrating lubricant.)
4. Push sink flange up through sink hole and remove it (see Figure 2-2).
5. Clean sink flange area of any putty or other debris.
DISASSEMBLE NEW DISPOSER
MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
1. Insert wrenchette (or screwdriver) into one mounting lug and hold lower mounting ring
securely with one hand (see Figure 3-1). With your other hand, turn mounting assembly
counterclockwise to remove mounting assembly from lower mounting ring.
2. Turn mounting assembly over (see Figure 3-2) and loosen three mounting screws (A)
until you can access snap ring (B).
3. Use screwdriver to pry snap ring off of sink flange. Mounting assembly will now come
apart.

INSTALL FLANGE IN SINK HOLE

1. Roll 1/4 pound (4 oz.) of non-hardening plumber's putty to make 3/4" thick rope to seal
around sink flange.
2. Apply putty evenly around sink hole in indentation left by sink flange (see Figure 4-1).
3. Align flange so text is readable, and press sink flange slowly but firmly into sink drain
hole to seat evenly on putty (see Figure 4-2). Use screwdriver or putty knife to scrape
all putty from edge of sink hole.
ATTACH UPPER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY TO SINK
FLANGE
You may wish to place a weighted object in the sink to hold the sink
flange in place. (Place a towel under object in sink to prevent scratch-
ing.) Reference Figure 5-1 for part identification.
1. Working from under sink, slip fiber gasket and metal backup ring (flat side up) over sink
flange.
2. Holding fiber gasket and backup ring in place, slip mounting ring over sink flange so it
seats against backup ring.
3. With the fiber gasket, backup ring, and mounting ring tight to sink bottom. Slide snap ring
onto sink flange until it pops into groove on flange*.
4. Tighten three mounting screws up to sink until mounting assembly is seated tightly and
evenly against sink.
* Placing a thick, wide rubber band around the sink flange (above the snap ring groove) may
help hold parts in place while installing snap ring. (Remember to remove rubber band after
snap ring is installed.)
