(Add 1/2 inch[1.3cm] when stainless steel sink is used.) C: Distance from centerline of the discharge outlet to end of dis- charge 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 enter- ing wall. (Dimension "F" must be greater than 1/4 inch [0.6 cm] to prevent standing water in disposer.) B A C F D E If replacing an existing disposer, skip ahead to Instruction 6. If this is a first time installation, continue with Instruction 2. Dimension A B 13 11/16" 6 13/16" (34.8 cm) (17.3 cm) C D 4" 10 1/16" (10.2 cm) (25.6 cm) E 5 3/4" (14.6 cm) 2 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 material. 3 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. 4 INSTALL FLANGE IN SINK HOLE Slip one rubber gasket onto sink flange and insert sink flange through sink hole. NOTE: Rubber gasket is preferred sink seal. If sink opening does not permit use of rubber seal, follow steps below to install flange with plumber's compound. 1. Roll 1/4 pound (4 oz. [113g]) of non-hardening plumber's compound to make 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) thick rope to seal around sink flange. 2. Apply putty evenly around sink hole (see Figure 4-1). 3. 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. CAUTION Do not use plumber's compound on any other disposer connection; it may harm disposer and cause property damage. 3
