FABRICATING
1. Consult installation and connection data and installation diagrams on following pages for regular cone or regular
sink attachment dishtable cutout sizes.
2. For cone attachment, position cone so water swirl inlet fitting is nearest to operator.
3. Weld the total circumference of cone or sink attachment to prevent leakage.
4. Smooth grind and polish to match and blend weld seams.
NOTE: DO NOT PLACE CONTROL MOUNTING BRACKETS IN DIRECT WATER SPLASH AREAS.
PLUMBING
1. Consult installation and connection data and installation diagrams on following pages for mounting, hookups and
pipe sizes.
2. “I” Series is mounted by suspending from dishtable.
3. “N”, “G” and “S” Series use a floor leg support system with a neoprene connecting sleeve and two (2) stainless
steel clamps. Supplied sleeve (8” length) should be cut to required length for connection of disposer to dishtable.
4. Slide in, or position, disposer to connect to waste line, avoiding as many bends, elbows and tees as possible.
5. Flexible drain connection should be installed as follows:
A. Slip coupling over disposer outlet, then onto drain pipe.
B. Using a 5/16” nut driver, tighten to a torque of 60 in-lbs.
6. Perform power-rotor reaming of waste line whether connection is made to a new or old waste line. New lines
often contain foreign items left in the lines accidentally during construction.
7. Blow new water feed lines out before connections are made. Dirt, solder, or other foreign matter can lodge itself
in the flow controls, solenoid valve and vacuum breaker, causing malfunction.
8. Install solenoid valve. Check that inlet and outlet ports are in proper direction.
9. Check that disposer and dishtable opening are in line, level and true. This is visible when neoprene sleeve is
not kinked or partially collapsed. If level and in line adjustment is required, turn feet on bottom of legs.
10. Secure disposer to floor using the holes provided in the feet.
ELECTRICAL
NOTE: FOLLOW GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY NEC STANDARD AND LOCAL CODES.
1. Consult installation and connection data and diagrams on following pages for control placement and motor
wiring.
NOTE: DO NOT PLACE CONTROL IN DIRECT WATER SPLASH AREAS.
2. Follow supplied wiring schematics for all controls, solenoid valves and pre-wired custom control centers.
3. Size and fuse disposer branch circuit or use circuit breakers as required by motor nameplate rating.
4. Check that motor voltage wiring matches incoming voltage.
NOTE: ALL CONDUIT AND FITTINGS SHALL BE OF THE NEMA 4 WATERTIGHT TYPE.
5. All “I” and “N” disposers have thermal protection of the manual reset type, in motor. Check that reset button is
not jammed.
6. All “S” and “G” disposers must have thermal protection (heaters) in control. Check that heaters are sized
properly to prevent either motor burnout or nuisance tripping.
7. Check that all connections are tight, secure and well-grounded.
NOTE: Disposers are designed to operate in both a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction. Direction of rotation
does not have to be considered when wiring motor.
GROUNDING
Connect disposer to a grounded metal permanent wiring system or run a disposer grounding conductor with the circuit
conductors and connect it to the disposer grounding terminal or lead on the disposer.
