CONNECT DISPOSER TO MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting the disposer to
the sink.
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. (NOTE: If a removable sound baffle is included with disposer, push baffle into sink
opening with "cupped" side upward.)
ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN LINE
Determine the appropriate installation based upon previous installation or plumbing configu-
ration: Threaded Discharge or Bolted Discharge.
Threaded Discharge Tube Installation
If replacing existing disposer, remove and discard existing discharge tube. (Unit will not seal
properly with old discharge tube.)
1. Slide nut (A) over discharge tube (B), pushing nut over elbow into position (see Figure 11-1). The supplied discharge
tube has a beveled end to match the discharge outlet. Do not use supplied washer or gasket for this installation.
2. Screw nut onto threaded outlet and tighten with adjustable pliers. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
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 ridges on mounting flange.
Threaded Straight Discharge Installation
Although the Discharge Tube installation is preferred, if a straight discharge tube is to be
connected to the disposer, follow the steps below. NOTE: If existing straight discharge tube
lines up with discharge outlet, you may use the nut (A) and the flanged gasket (B) to make
the connection, rather than cutting the end of tube as described below (see Figure 11-2).
1. With a hacksaw, cut off flanged end of straight tube, removing as little as poss.
2. With tapered side of beveled washer toward disposer, slide nut (A) and beveled washer (C) over straight tube (see
Figure 11-3).
3. Rotate disposer, allowing straight tube to slide into discharge outlet a minimum of 1/2" past edge of outlet. (Disposer
must remain in vertical position to prevent vibration.)
4. Tighten nut with adjustable pliers to secure discharge tube. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Ensure lower mounting ring is still locked on mounting flange.
Bolted Discharge Installation
1. Place metal flange (D) over discharge tube (see Figure 11-4).
2. Secure metal flange and discharge tube to disposer with screw.
3. Complete Steps 3 - 5 from Threaded Discharge Tube Installation, above.
CONNECT DISHWASHER DRAIN (IF APPLICABLE)
Connect the dishwasher to the disposer through an air gap (A) (see Figure 12-1). (Most dishwasher
manufacturers recommend that the discharge water runs through an air gap to prevent backflow and/
or dishwasher contamination. Ensure knockout plug is removed (see Instruction 8). Plumbing connec-
tions must comply with local codes.
A. If you have a 7/8" 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.)
B. If you have already attached a dishwasher drain connector to your dishwasher drain hose (for drain
hose other than 7/8" diameter), use a hose clamp to attach the drain hose/connector to the dish-
washer inlet on the disposer.
ATTACH SPECIFICATION DECAL
The disposer specification decal has a removable portion to place on the front side of the installed
disposer, containing important information you will need to know in the event service is required.
1. Detach perforated portion of specification decal from lower portion of disposer.
2. Apply decal to the disposer where it can be easily read.
The disposer installation is complete. Run water through the disposer and check under sink for
leaks. Read ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on following page
