How To Install a Garbage Disposal

[@toolrev]

FYI, if you're installing a dishwasher remove the disposal drain plug before connecting the dishwasher drain line, seen here in blue. Some have a black cap that you push in. See How to Install a Dishwasher here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIqXmaabjZppg9k.

[@pruebayatedije9008]

You have to do that, when you have dishwasher

[@dalepeterson3186]

This guy is absolutely incredible. Very polite, easy talking very knowledgeable walks right through it. He’s so comfortable. It’s got to be the best illustration list. I’ve seen in a long time. I know this is a simple job, He brings comfort to the job which is a total maximum plus. It was my absolute pleasure watching this man work. I hope he’s the owner of that company.

You haven't seen him drunk lol

My old garbage disposal stared leaking and this video saved my Sunday. Quick trip to Home Depot for a new unit, installed it, and now good to go. Thank You

[@toolrev]

Cool!

[@anastasias6352]

This was super helpful, especially since I didn't have a garbage disposal to start with, and almost all the other tutorials I have found assume you already have piping in place!

[@LeeshaLou87]

Same here😅 I'm glad I'm starting from scratch, so it was nice to get some piping tips

[@charlesharvey2164]

I just had to replace the disposal unit and used most of the existing parts. Lot easier than I expected. Thank you for your guidance.

[@christianmanriquez7022]

Thank you. I started as helping someone drive and I got bored and started getting out the van and now the boss is paying me an extra $7 dollars per hour after 6 months. This a great trade and you learn from many; pros & cons.

[@DenialDan]

A lot of other tutorials have me second guessing if I need other things to install. This video made me realize I have everything I need and don't need to buy more pipe

[@johnfolmar]

Great video, easy to understand and camerawork shows what is needed. Especially helpful was the tip about the snap ring tool.

[@Boss2133]

Thank you ! Best tutorial I've seen on KZbin for garbage disposals.

[@trollmunchies2831]

Thanks man! I’ve never replaced a garbage disposal before. You made it easy and as a result of saving money on labor I got a better model

[@xjo2hx2442x]

Just a trick of the trade I found easy to make cuts for soft plastic pipe like these for the p-traps is using your CPVC ratcheting cutters. It makes clean cuts with no burred ends.

[@stevenj7673]

I have never thought to use an oscillating tool to cu that type of pipe. Great idea!

[@ATylerP]

This video was very helpful for when I changed out my garbage disposal recently. Thank you!

[@mixmastermikebiz]

This is my exact setup in a basement kitchen that did not previously have a garbage disposal. I was curious how to handle the P-trap, this was very informative and helpful! I'm going to go for it now instead of hiring someone, will let you know how it goes :)

[@toolrev]

Okay, keep us updated.

[@bigsidable]

NICE JOB. YOUVE DONE THAT A MANY TIMES. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR DETAILED QUICK PROFFESIONALISM.

[@wanderwoman73]

Swapped out my disposal quickly and without a single snag - thanks to you!

[@toolrev]

Nice!

[@rigogarcia3960]

You are awesome. Very experienced and articulate. Thank you very much for this video and for the one on how to install the dish washer!

[@virginianalangan6786]

Good job. I will do mine. I got moen same as yours.

[@Waltonslots]

The pipe.coming off my garbage disposal is strait and I also have a picket that comes off for the dish washer. But still helpful. Thankyou

[@father3566]

Best instructional video. Thank you.

[@barrymatthews6358]

Nice work quick and straight to the point!!! And easy to follow!!! Thank you sir! You answered my question perfectly!!!!

Thanks for the video, I will be installing one in a new place I am trying to buy. Definitely will save money doing things like this to save money

[@amazingfire707]

Thank you for this video. Your camera angles made it so much easier to understand. I was able to figure out what was wrong and how to fix it easily.

[@toolrev]

That's great, glad to help. 😃

[@Blessed381]

@@toolrevTHANK YOU. I am

[@laynamareelange2334]

Thank you so much! Great added information, especially why the dip in the PVC pipe is needed to catch water to stop sewer gas from coming in! Other videos could have easily left that out but will be super beneficial for my home as I do this project! And even the little note about why there is no slip washer when the two pbcs come together bc it has that built in one! Really appreciate it! I’m subscribing and will be using your videos first any time I’m doing anything!

[@toolrev]

Thanks and welcome the channel. 🙂

[@ericoeks]

Great video! You are spot on with explanations and made install from two drains to one drain a piece of cake! Thanks!

I’m actually installing that exact garbage disposal in my basement haha my sink looks similar to that too, it’s an under mount but I too mounted it😏 no one can stop me!

[@angelestrada7075]

Really great informational video thank you!!

[@Berkner80]

Nice if you have a big wide open cabinet with no obstacles.

[@allaafanasyeva8575]

Awesome work. Thanks for sharing with us. I just have a question. Why, after installing the garbage disposal, the dishwasher doesn't get water. Thank you

[@toolrev]

not sure, the disposal takes in dishwasher drain water but doesn't supply water to the dishwasher

[@ScottMoore-x7m]

You're good man! Perfect installation!

[@anagarza7786]

If Im replacing my sink but reinstalling the same garbage disposal unit, do I need to find a new flange or drain part? The sink came with a drain but it doesn’t look compatible for a disposal?

[@armandosalinas658]

Thank you, this was helpful

[@keska01]

where would the plastic tube for the reverse osmosis go ?

[@jontnoneya3404]

Should clamp or staple the electrical cord to the wall for the future. If that thing ever starts to leak, which they do quite frequently, your cable is going to be exposed to the water. Yeah it's got an insulator but a small clamp will take 2 extra minutes and cost 37 cents.

[@jimmysosa9695]

Just what I was looking for

[@BonzTrinitarian]

Thanks. Saved my sink

[@marthalimber9063]

Thank you!! Awesome video!!

[@baddad5781]

I winced watching you hold that length of pipe while you cut it. You got mighty close to the fingers on your left hand. Lol Anyway thanks for sharing your no how with us

[@lightingkid2010]

you do also need to install an outlet under the sink and add a switch above the sink and connect it to the outlet under the sink.

[@mychajlodoss502]

Good note but if you're replacing one it's already been done

[@fernandonampo3188]

Nice video! Thanks! I found some divergence on the sink drain diameter. Should it be 3.5", 4.5" or insinkerator will fit both?

[@toolrev]

yes it will fit

[@macd6351]

Exactly the install I was looking for!

[@daviddibble958]

I really wish you would have done the install with the dishwasher in place, as that will provide barriers for some of us lol

[@LiggityL96]

True but at least he did a really well job explaining that to us in the description or comments

[@MATTW3R]

What if I also have a dishwasher that I need to plumb to it? How should I do that thanks.

[@toolrev]

Search easy dishwasher install on my channel page.

[@alexwinters1987]

Thank you! Just saved me $450!

[@EZGoin1]

Helps with the fear of the unknown. What is the tool called to cut the pvc tubing?

[@toolrev]

oscillating multi tool or just grab a 2" ratcheting PVC cutter from Home Depot for $30

[@ethanvaught9625]

You da man. Well put. Many thanks.

[@toolrev]

👊

[@kamiperzsi7495]

Can you use clear caulking opposed to plumbers putty ?

[@toolrev]

Yes, use 100% silicone.

[@motube2389]

Where does the dishwasher drain goes then ?

[@Minutepollution91]

What plumber putty should i use if my kitchen sink is made of silgranit ? Thanks

[@toolrev]

Never installed one but my guess would be silicone as putty can stain granite. I always call the manufacturer if I'm unsure.

[@kellykai4068]

I just realized that pipe come with trap are smaller than normal PVC pipe. Is it ok to use in kitchen plumbing?

[@toolrev]

You gotta check your local code.

[@rrome6178]

Excellent video, thank you so much!

[@toolrev]

yw

[@salionka100]

Would it be better to use silicone instead of plumbers putty?

[@toolrev]

Some prefer it. I've used both with no issue. It's up to you to use what the manufacturer calls out, or what you prefer.

[@narjisse5388]

Where did you get that snap tool ring please? I can't seem to find it anywhere!

[@sylviastewart7717]

How do you hold the garbage disposal up when you are attaching it?

[@toolrev]

I lift it up by the lower ring mount, twist it on a little and it holds itself up until you twist it all the way.

[@benfix]

Clean. Well done.

[@chikombechela2460]

Brilliant video mate!!! Thankx!

[@williamwellmanii1368]

I did that and my disposal won't turn on. IDK if its connecting electrically.

[@toolrev]

If you plugged it into an outlet under the sink, and the outlet is working, check to see if the disposal has a reset button. Do a process of elimination investigation and let us know how it turns out.

[@kevongrant9006]

1 question why use plumers putty and not silicone?

[@toolrev]

Here putty was called by the manufacturer.

[@juancarloscampos9261]

Great video.

[@johnnichols2710]

Great explanation. I always blow on the slip washer also. Ha ha

[@teddavid9310]

The one thing that you left out is how you connected to the electric. Was the electric socket under the sink already switched?The one thing that you left out is how you connected to the electric. Was the electric socket under the sink already switched?

[@toolrev]

Yes, already switched. You can also search air switch at Home Depot, etc.

[@carisanders5957]

What is the sink flange that goes inside the sink comes with a rubber gasket do I still have to use putty ?

[@toolrev]

Not sure, I’d have to refer to the instructions.

[@msmsportscards3548]

How long should you let the putty set before putting on the part under the sink that will hold the disposal?

[@toolrev]

No need to wait, put it together asap.

[@kattanism]

This is better than being screamed at by my dad while I'm crying bc I don't know how to fix it. Thank you.

[@abjrnyz]

Would this Garbage disposal installation work the same on a ceramic farmhouse sink?

[@toolrev]

Should be the same but haven’t installed one of those sinks yet myself.

[@JTVEDU]

How do you un jam this model ?

[@toolrev]

Maybe tap it loose with a hammer and screwdriver.

[@joshminzler9062]

just a question, granted it has a pre installed power cord, was the plug in on a switch or no... because what if you dont have a switch, i take it you just have to install one or ? sorry if it is a dumb question i am just taking this as its a plug in and go thing.

[@toolrev]

Correct, it's a switched outlet. You can also look up garbage disposal switch at Home Depot, etc.

[@joshminzler9062]

ok was just wondering cause i didnt see it covered in video but thank you for responding... ill look into the addition of a switch because im not sure i have one set up for it @@toolrev

[@jaydenbatch]

what are the hooks supposed to go onto

[@stevehastey2886]

If I understand correctly from another video the hooks don't go on to anything there to put a screwdriver in to help use leverage to tighten it

[@joshabbey2582]

What do you do with that excess putty that squeezed out into the sink?

[@toolrev]

Pull up the excess around top of drain with your fingers and wipe with a rag or paper towel.

[@오형석-l2u]

Hi i think the time 2:53 a little snap ring tool is verry good tool where is to buy it?

[@toolrev]

It comes with certain Moen disposals.

[@jussttg]

and its my struggling to finish this for the last 6months.. ordering parts for drain, not getting other parts in store and haveing problems in every step :D great vid anyway!

[@ulyssesmullins3181]

Do you only apply the plumbers putty underneath the sink flange? Is that enough to prevent leaks or can I put some around the space between the sink and the lower flange like 3:45? Also, are you suppose to let the putty dry before use?

[@toolrev]

Just under the upper flange and you don’t want to let it dry out.

[@ViolentMLG]

I bought a house that's new, my disposal started to lease after 1 year. I think application is important.

[@cheryellecrane5615]

What if there isn’t an outlet under the sink?

[@toolrev]

You'll need power so either install a switched outlet or run an extension cord and air switch, link in description. I recommend a switched outlet.

[@BR-Step]

If you don't mind me asking, do you still need a traditional 'breather' PVC pipe running off of the plumbing?

[@toolrev]

If you're talking about an air gap to prevent backflow some places require it, others do not. You at least want to loop up your dishwasher hose as high as possible.

[@CLUBKILLE]
