.
Position disposer with three mounting tabs (A) aligned in position to slide over mounting tracks (B) (see
Figure 10-1).
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.) Dis­
poser will now hang by itself.
ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN LINE
Determine the appropriate installation based upon previous installation or plumbing configuration: Threaded
Discharge or Bolted Discharge.
Property Damage
Do not use thread sealants or pipe dope; they may harm the disposer and
cause property damage.
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 sup­
plied 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's aligned with drain trap (To prevent leaks, do not pull or bend
discharge tube to dram 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.)
■1 Place P-trap nut. then beveled washer (not supplied) cn bcttc.s-, ;i d.cchc.'g: '.ube and tighten on drain
trap. (If you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides.)
5 Ensure lower mounting ring is still securely locked over ridges on mounting flange
Threaded Straight Discharge Installation
Although the Discharge Tube installation is prefered, 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)

.
With a hacksaw, cut off flanged end of straight tube, removing as little as possible.
With tapered side of beveled washer toward disposer, slide nut (A) and beveled washer (C) over straight
tube (see Figure 11-3)
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.)
Tighten nut with adjustable pliers to secure discharge tube DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Ensure lower mounting ring is still locked on mounting flange.
Bolted Discharge Tube Installation
1 Slide metal flange (A) over discharge tube (B) (see Figure 11 -4)
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 dram 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 dram
trap (If you have a double sink, use separate dram 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
yC 'yce jnot supplied), install rubber gasket onto discharge tube, and secure metal "
flange and straight discharge tube to disposer with one bolt
