DIY Kitchen Sink Plumbing With GARBAGE DISPOSAL- Start to Finish - Step by Step

[@ATylerP]

I just had to rebuild a drain pipe under my kitchen sink when replacing it and this is probably one of the most helpful videos, She really gave be the confidence to feel like I could plumb the sink on my own, and I did! THANK YOU!!

[@dennisgibbs5708]

This gal is very good at explaining everything and doing the work! Thank you!

[@weaselboyjenkins3931]

The best video I’ve seen on doing this project. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

[@patrickmarsh778]

great job. I like the way you dont always do things perfectly and have to redo things because it shows the most common issues that occur and need to be taken into account.

[@Daniel08353]

Thank you!! I thought I was relatively handy at fixing things, until I spent 2 hours trying to figure out what fittings and pipes I needed to replace my damaged ABS pipes. It’s EXACTLY in the configuration as yours is in the thumbnail; and the kit Lowes had, required me to get extra pieces for cleaning access, and air back flow. I have a septic tank and debated whether or not to replace my dysfunctional garbage disposal or to go without one. Seeing there’s and septic-friendly option, I’m definitely getting one!

✴✴✴✴✴Includes a complex plumbing solution. This is the most thorough and informative, step--by-step explanation I have watched during half a day watching lesser DIY videos on the subject. She even explains the metal attachment ramps giving mechanical advantage that enable easy attachment of the heavy unit with a simple twist to lock it into place. No chitter-chatter or macho BS here; just straightforward information. Knows her stuff! You go, Gal! Thanks. [D. Male: 88].

Outstanding work

[@chrishenson4450]

Thank you for this excellent video. We’ve been waiting for our plumber to install our disposal for a month now (“This week for sure!”) and your clear, easy-to-follow instructions have convinced me to do it myself. Happy Memorial Day! Follow up: Works great! You’re our hero!

[@CountryGirlLiving]

Great! I am glad it helped.

[@markjumper725]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@KarmenMartz]

That was extremely informative!! Thank you for doing this step by step!!

[@CountryGirlLiving]

You're welcome

[@MaintenanceMan00]

Glad I watched this. Didn’t know they made an install kit!

[@dawnerwin2097]

You are awesome and I appreciate your help with all things GIRL. I always do my own things if I can. I have an old top still in the sink and I am trying to put a used but good one on. The grooves of the old one are not straight, they are bent and I am having a hell of a time trying to get it on. I also didn't get the rubber piece that goes on the bottom hole for the pipe to hook on. I am trying to get the old one off the one I took out but that screw doesn't want to come out. I'm going to save myself and anyone in shouting distance from my cries of agony 😂 and just go buy one. You keep rocking ❤

[@m.d.newell935]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

[@onthedeschutes]

Very well done!

[@LisaLubin]

Thank you for this. Very well-done and each step helped me a lot. I also was so nervous about cutting and gluing those harder PVC pipes and the right order to do it in so I could still position p-trap. You don't know how many times I watched yours and others' videos and stared at my plumbing, holding things up, dry fitting, etc! Your sharpie mark idea was great too. :D

[@CountryGirlLiving]

I am glad the video was helpful!

[@garybrady7245]

Yeah that's a old school trick to sharpie a couple dashes at all the fittings so you know where it was when you had it cut in dry.

[@terryhendricks3948]

Thank you so much!! This really helped me understand how I should plan my project.

[@CountryGirlLiving]

I am glad it help!

[@wendimccain8580]

Very instructive video. Awesome job! Skip McCain

[@brianczuhai8909]

You don’t need the tee to clean out the line. You can use disconnect the p-trap or come down thru the cheater valve. Plus move the cheater valve to the highest you can and still have it replaceable. It’s really supposed to be higher than the sink top. This is a good demo of how to also EASILY replace S-Traps with a P-Trap. Just abide by minimum p-trap length two times the inner diameter of your pipe rule.

[@Gfysimpletons]

All a disposal does in gum up the works. I'm a plumber and i love those and dish washers.

[@joelsotero4940]

Great job

[@gregchristianson9631]

Thanks for the video where was all your parts bought from

[@erickincaid9779]

What is the yellow stuff you used for installing the cleanout?

[@CoachCommerce]

Thank you so much for this video! Quick question, do you have to have the clean out? I’ve never installed on before but looks simple enough. Also, what sealant did you put on the flea out threads? Thanks!

[@CountryGirlLiving]

In my state, NC, you don't have to have a cleanout there per code, but I went crazy and put clean outs everywhere! I wanted to make sure I had plenty of access to drain lines in case of a clog. I used pipe dope on the threads.

[@joshuamiller3865]

Since you used a trap that can be taken apart. The clean out wasn’t needed. You can just remove the trap for drain cleaning

[@CountryGirlLiving]

@@joshuamiller3865 True. I went a little crazy with cleanout throughout the house😂

[@andrewyoussef2267]

Great job! Thank you!

[@TonyCrawford-l4d]

Great vid.

[@anrivera1975]

Nice job. 👏

[@kayvonmansouri]

i want a flat black disposal flange, ever seen one of those? I have no idea where to get it..

[@lauram7803]

Please can you tell me what you mean by pipe length needs to be double the pipe width? (Why?) Is it because of the valve?

[@danp3808]

The horizontal trap arm. Otherwise you end up with an S-trap

[@GaryYoung-eq1ph]

Do they sell white marking pens I gots all black pipes. Good instructions.

[@peggymeadows]

Walmart sells white gel pens located in the office supply area. They work great for marking things.

[@garybrady7245]

Sharpie makes a nice white oil base marker at lowes or any silver marker or paint pen

[@steveh1177]

Well done young lady- terminology is basic but the work and the video capture was excellent (I like a good description e.g. the doofer connects here-lol)

[@gabejones6260]

Leaking from the main drain. The one under the dishwasher. Any tips

[@LizzyCarina]

Hi there, can you please tell me what pipe you used to connect to the garbage disposer and what's the black thing is on it, please? I found out that the pipe I was using was leaking and nothing bqn fit both the other connecting pipes and the garbage disposer... 😭

[@motch6182]

I thought the newer Insinkerators said they didn't need plumbers putty? Is it wise to ignore their directions and use the putty anyway?

[@motch6182]

I’ll answer my own question! My model of insinkerator is the top model and now comes with a rubber gasket! It is highly recommended to use the rubber gasket NOT plumbers putty, due to the high fluctuation in water temperatures that a sink drain can go through.!

[@garybrady7245]

Yeah I always use plumbers putty no matter what because the black rubber washers they give you with drains are junk so I just use a non staining plumbers putty roll it in your hand like your making a worm and put a decent ring of it down on the hole of the drain in the sink and then when you tightening it down it oozes out and you just rake the excess off

[@motch6182]

@@garybrady7245 I changed my mind and ended up using the PUTTY too. most recommendations out there says to use plumber putty... even though the directions highly suggest using their gaskets.

[@jeffreykreft5442]

Great work, just a side note, you want to get the air admittance valve as high as possible, seen this done where it is too low and it will not work properly causing the drain to drain slow. By putting the air valve higher it allows the valve to fully open using atmospheric pressure and increase the air being pulled into the pipe which will allow the sink to drain faster. Other than that this gal did a fantastic job and saved herself well over a grand from having to call in a pro.

[@erickincaid9779]

Replumbing this with a plumber would've cost a grand? That's insane.

[@Spencersswagger]

You’re making this look way too easy! 😂 I know mine isn’t going to go as good as this lol. Wish me luck 😂

[@deadmanswife3625]

Good luck Spencer. You got this. Breathe Take it a step at a time. Slow

Hi, I'm a SPARKY so bear with me. We just relocated from Las Vegas to Pennsylvania and are experiencing a lot of first-time things. For example we too are on a septic system, so for the garage disposal install, is there a specific type? And if so, what is the difference between a standard like I am familiar with and have installed quite a few and the one you have here. I just started your video and paused it 23 seconds in to comment and ask you this question. Thank you very much, ZEROGENX

[@CountryGirlLiving]

I used the Insinkerator Septic Assist model. It is just like a regular disposal except that it has a small bottle of liquid enzymes attached to it. Each time you turn on the disposal, it shoots some of the enzymes into where the blades (and food) are. The enzymes are supposed to help breakdown the food in the septic system. Other than that, it is just like a regular disposal, and is installed the same way.

[@ONeill_Nolan]

@@CountryGirlLiving I just went with the dual stage grinding and throw in some rid x ever once in awhile. Just another thing to break on the disposal

[@CountryGirlLiving]

@@ONeill_Nolan True, that is a good idea

[@betsyjaindl2373]

👌👌👌👌

[@julieo4580]

I feel like Insinkerator is being sarcastic by calling it a quick lock system. 😂. I was ready to just say screw it I’ll just give scraps to the dogs.

[@keithcastleberry3993]

Power cord....insinkerator, cheap assed out. Should have kept the one off the old Badger 5. Im just pissed i got to cut out my back wall and lower the drain line to hook up this disposal with a lowered sink. Of ALL the research, remodeling and gutting I've done the last 4.5 months I find out now after new cabinets and counters are in. 😢😢😢

[@cn81821]

👍👍👍💕💕💕💪💪💪

[@billjohnson360]

This video is incorrect. Garbage disposal should go down dirrectly into the pee trap and the cross arm comes over to the sanitee dirrectly below where the GD comes in.

[@erickincaid9779]

According to who?

[@Chris6068]

Good lord. The plumbing putty is a huge no no under the strainer flange. Get a proper gasket or atleast silicone it, this will be a nightmare for anyone who ever needs to pull it apart when (not if) it leaks.

[@CountryGirlLiving]

You are confusing plumber's putty with silicone. Plumber's putty is used routinely on drains and comes apart easily. Silicone is the one that is very difficult to get apart.

[@Chris6068]

​@@CountryGirlLiving I'm not confusing anything. The putty will dry out within the next 2-3 years, and then will start to leak, corroding the threads of the drain basket. I've cut quite a few out because it's just not worth trying to undo the super shallow nut on the bottom when they're filled with junk and are corroded together. Admittedly on the garbage disposal side, the leak will atleast be pretty easy to identify, so it would probably be fixed before it turned into a major issue. (My Dad's been in the trade for 44 years, for reference, I'm currently apprenticing under him) Silicone is definitely a bit harder to remove, and install, but if you have the tools and learn how to work with it, it can and will last a lot longer than plumber's putty when applied properly.

[@gwendolynkaren]

​@@Chris6068I have plumber's putty everywhere I have no leaks for 42 years

[@SheilaSpencer1]

@@Chris6068 you are delusional. Plumber's Putty is what has been used on drains for decades; it is the only (right) way to install a drain unless they provide you with a rubber gasket; and even then a lot of us will toss the rubber gasket and use putty instead. It's just how it's done; it works. Silicone is the telltale sign of a DIYer trying to stop a leak. 🤦‍♀
