Washing dishes and taking out the trash- two of the most common household chores- can be
easier and more efficient with the help of a garbage disposal, and today we're going
to show you how to install one. You're going to need some tools to get this
job done. You should have: a large, an adjustable wrench, a Hammer, a Screwdriver, a Fine Tooth
saw, a bucket or bowl to catch any water and for our particular install, we had to buy
a new PVC pipe set, which you can find at your local Lowe's. The disposal we're installing
today is the Legend Series 2600 disposal from Waste King. We chose this particular model
for its performance and affordable price. The first step is to turn off your water supply
to the sink to make sure you don't cause any major leaks.
Now, disconnect the pipes from the sink, using the wrench for the pipes and the bucket to
catch any water. With the pipes disconnected, simply take out
the old sink ***. You should be able to pop this out easily.
Now we're going to install the new sink ***. This particular garbage disposal works the
easiest with stainless steel sinks, which is what we have here today. This rubber gasket
acts as a perfect seal for the disposal and therefore does not require the use of plumber's
putty. However, if you don't have a stainless steel sink, you should use plumber's putty
to install the new sink ***. When installing the new sink ***, make
sure to put the *** together in the following order: First, the rubber gasket, which goes
above the sink. Then the paper gasket, the bracket, the mounting hardware, and then the
rubber cushion. A note on the wiring: some garbage disposals
come ready to be plugged in, like the one we're installing today. However, sometimes
they need to be wired in. Consult your manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper wiring.
If you're installing your disposal with a dishwasher line, now is the time to knock
out the dishwasher plug. To do this, you're going to use the hammer and screwdriver to
simply knock it out of place. Now it's time to install the garbage disposal.
With the sink *** in place, simply connect the disposal to the sink ***. Our Waste
King uses an EZ-Mount system that allows us to quickly slide it in and lock it to the
***. Next, you'll need to re-connect the pipes
to the disposal. Due to our particular setup, we had to purchase a new set of PVC pipes.
You may also have to saw some of the pipes down to fit your particular sink setup.
Now connect the dishwasher line to the designated hole on the disposal.
With everything in place, place the bucket or bowl back underneath the pipes, and turn
the water on to check for leaks. If there are no leaks, plug in the disposal and test
it out. And that's how you install a garbage disposal.
We hope we were of some help today and we welcome you to join us next time.
