@XxMissingDataxX 6 лет назад

So how do you know which wire to tie to gather?

@TheToughGuysTV 6 лет назад

Great question! I didn’t really address this, by here is how you know “If you have two black wires coming from the cord, check if it has smooth & ribbed sides. If it does, connect the smooth side to the black wire and the ribbed side to the white wire. The ground wire of the cord should be properly secured to the screw of the disposer.” Hope that helps you and thanks for watching!!

@pcofranc 5 лет назад

ribbed is standard indicator of "white". You can also verify using an inexpensive $10 AC/DC multi-meter. Set to DC and run the continuity test. Touch the wide "white" prong then touch the bare wires. You can mark the "white" with a piece of white tape.

Anything I can do myself I feel proud . I don’t like asking anyone for help and your video made it easy so I’m off to purchase my disposal thank you for your lessons❤

Thanks for pointing out need for deeper sink flange and need for electrical supply! Your vid was really helpful and I replaced old KitchenAid with a Insinkerator Evolution Excel. Tidbit: I am a female and wasn't able to hold the disposal up while attaching. I used a car jack! It allowed be to align it and keep it in place while fighting everything.

@shannonmillerkleanfreakstv 3 года назад

you make it look easy putting on the ring, however most people aren't that good so I recommend having someone else hold the drain flange down from the top on the inside as you put ring on from underneath. its very important that you tighten screws evenly or the ring will come off, also you get an Allen wrench type tool with the disposal that unjambs the disposal from the bottom , I like to use two of the wrenches to put in two holes in mounting bracket, its also critical that it CLICKS on otherwise it will vibrate off.

@ryanb9873 2 года назад

Amazing thank you!! I just got mine installed thanks to the confidence I gained from your detailed video. A couple little things I would add: the snap ring is a beast. To get it on check out the guy who uses zip ties on the three screws to hold it open. Also much easier with a 2nd person holding down the flange while you fight with it. Also insinkerator seems to prefer shorter screws now for thick sinks. They had two screw sizes in the box. Also they offer a rubber washer to use and no mention of new plumbers putty. I decided I didn't trust their washer as I have a beveled hole in the sink. So I learned how to use the putty and made a gasket the old fashioned way. Finally, I had to adjust my drain line by pushing any "variable" pipes as far as they would go into the other pipe and it just baaarely fit. This unit is a fair bit wider than the badger it's replacing. Thanks again!

@dougnichol205 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. I'd installed one of those 5/8HP Evolution models last night as an upgrade to the 1/2HP Badger. I didn't appreciate how the instructions failed to make it clear that this unit's baffle actually fits into the sink and not into the thick rubber soundproofing grommet at the top lip of the unit, nor under the sink opening as you can not jam both rubber pieces together & have it fit the locking ring mechanism... My old disposer had the baffle pre-molded into that top grommet sitting inside the disposal lip. Duhhhhh! I really felt like making some of the gestures your kids were making, but mine were profanity laced!

Thanks for the video! Way more helpful than the instruction manual tbh. Did it matter which wire I connected to which? I connected each copper wire from the power cord to one of the wires coming from the unit and it turned on just fine so I guess I did it correctly but also don’t want to burn down my house lol

@TheToughGuysTV Год назад

So glad the video helped you out!! There is a method to how to attach the wires, you may have gotten lucky, I don’t think it would operate if backwards. I think I may have a comment explaining it, but basically one of the two sides of the all black wire does go to the neutral and it’s marked by a ridge on the wire itself (from memory here, I remember looking into it back then). Good luck and hope the unit works for you!

The video was helpful... but, I don't recall seeing you use the bent allen wrench to tighten up the insinkerator. So it is really just barely hanging in there... use it for leverage to rotate the mounting piece clockwise... at 18:34 you can see that it wasn't in tight.

I recently installed my garbage disposal. One thing to watch for is the amount of putty used. I struggled for a day to get the disposal on the ring. There was too much putty that seeped down. Removing the excess from underneath gave me a fraction more space to get the disposals tabs to the ring. The instructions don't tell you to use putty and so probably not built into specs to allow for that so just beware of how much your using or just use the washer they give. Also using a scissor jack helped alot with raising the disposal in place.

@BDNADLER 5 лет назад

The reason a chord with a plug was not provided could be due to the fact that some installations could be hard wired. I live in Florida where dishwashers and disposals are plugged in via an outlet under the sink (the disposal plug controlled by a wall switch). Not the case in New York, where, in my mother's house, the dishwasher was hard wired (no disposal in use). Not having the power chord included with the disposal saves on the possible waste of discarding a perfectly good power chord only because a particular installation requires hard wiring.

@TheToughGuysTV 5 лет назад

I think an easy solution may be to have some sold with or without, and then separated within retail locations. I am a GC in my professional life, and my plumbers do not purchase from retailers - so having the wholesale locations carry the w/o cord version would eliminate the issue you’re describing pretty easy. Then have retailers carry with or without, and educate staff to explain to customers (or have good signage / collateral to read). How many people buy one, then end up having to go all the way back to the store because they need it and no one told them so? Thanks for the thoughts and for watching, I really appreciate the conversation!! 🙏🏻💪🏻

Doesn't the instructions require the disposal to be LOCKED to the locking ring? You appear to leave it loose. In fact, I believe a pair of channel locks is used to pull the disposal tight onto the ring to lock SOLIDLY in place.

@TheToughGuysTV 5 лет назад

It is locked and secured in place on our end. No movement of the unit whatsoever. I may not have done a good job of showing that, it was quite difficult to record underneath. You can physically feel it seat into place and it’s good to go. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

No one side is hot and other is neutral, you can tell by the texture on the cord sides normally which is which, def search for that online before trying to connect it

I have this disposal. Problem I have is that my dishwasher cuts off when I turn my disposal on. I have an insinkarator box that both are plugged into. What can cause this problem?

@TheToughGuysTV 7 месяцев назад

Could be a short overrunning the circuit? I’d recommend having an electrician check it out or an appliance repair specialist - could be a few different things causing it. Good luck

Yes you definitely want to use all the washers included. Good luck with the install!

My previous pipe does not fit (it is about one inch too long) to acomodate the disposal. How do shorted the pipe? Also, the black tubing from the dish washer does not reach to around to the top drain port that you had to hammer a screw driver through the plastic. Can that be extended easily or should a plumber be called?

@TheToughGuysTV 5 лет назад

Ben, when you say “previous pipe” are you referring to the drain pipe under the sink or the drain flange for the sink itself? As far as the dishwasher tubing you can purchase new / different lengths but knowing how much water can go through a dishwasher I’d recommend getting a plumber involved if you are at all unsure. Always side with caution when potential flooding is involved while playing with plumbing systems. I hope I was of some help and good luck!! 👍🏻

I didn't realize about the long depth ring. I'm replacing a disposal so if there is already a deep one there can I just reuse that one?

@TheToughGuysTV 3 года назад

You may be able to re use it if it all lines up and fits. definitely worth a try before buying a new one! Good luck!

@Chedderfish 3 года назад

Luckily the deep one wasn't necessary.

@henryortiz6548 4 года назад

Hi, thanks for the video, very good. I have 3 questions: May connect the dishwasher drain somewhere else in the drainpipe instead of the disposer? May I connect the regular white wire directly to the motor instead of adding the black wire? Do I have to put a turn on switch as shown in the video? Thanks for attention. Henry

@TheToughGuysTV 4 года назад

Henry, thanks for reaching out! Disclaimer here - I am not a licensed plumber or electrician! 1. I'm not sure if you can connect somewhere else per manufacturer spec, but as long as it's draining into your drain pipe it should theoretically be ok. 2. I would recommend connecting to power as it's written in instructions - I can't physically see your situation, so I don't want to recommend something possibly detrimental. 3. You'd definitely want to wire the electrical to a switch, otherwise it would run all the time. Some people have push buttons on the countertop, and others have a switch down under the sink - it's really up to you. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out! Good luck!

@LakshayGrover 4 года назад

Hey. At 19:50 the rubber thing the you put, of course I got one too and it just slows down the water flow big time as compared to my old garbage disposal. In the old badger, that thing was attached to garbage disposal itself. With the one you installed, it sits from the sink side. Did you find a hack for it or you just deal with it? Thank you.

@TheToughGuysTV 4 года назад

It’s been in place ever since we installed it. So far no major issues. Occasionally we get a bubble there which stops the flow of water, but I just poke through and water starts to flow again. Thanks for reaching out and thanks as well for checking out the video!

I placed it inside the hole after fastening the sink. It was basically the last step I'm pretty sure. Thanks for reaching out!

@116744chris 4 года назад

Does this disposal have a little flex when the flange is completely installed? I just installed mine and everything went together good, however, I can grab it and wiggles a little. No leaks. All the tabs in the locked position.

@TheToughGuysTV 4 года назад

I can't say mine has any 'give' or 'wiggle' to be honest. It's pretty secure. If I put some force on it, I can get it to twist a little bit but not sure if that's exactly what you're experiencing. If unsure, try to see about getting a direct opinion from a local plumber maybe just to be sure - better safe than sorry. Thanks for checking out the video and good luck!

@timnewton8308 3 года назад

It definitely has some play, both at the basin/trap, and at the discharge outlet. I assume this helps quiet the unit when installed.

@jamesbell5793 2 года назад

Great help with installing the disposal. Although I would disagree when wiring. It’s actually easier, at least to me to get the wire but on first, just getting tit started. Then put the wire through. It was much harder gettin the nut on with the wire there.

@TheToughGuysTV 4 года назад

It’s been 100% sturdy since day one, no issues. Been about 2 years now. There is a locking bracket that is attaching the ‘throat’ / drain to the locking collar I believe - when it’s all attached it’s sturdy! Thanks for reaching out!

@kevinfinamore3357 Год назад

They now have a tab on the ring that locks into plastic on the motor... You can't rotate it to the exact place like you can on the old models...

That nut on the Romex connector is not supposed to be removed, it works differently than you think it does. Read the directions, folks, that's why they included them in the cord assembly kit.

You should mention on this unit that the AC cord has one wire that's ribbed while the other is smooth. .It is important to connect the ribbed power cord wire to the white wire of the unit. I also like to wrap the wire nuts with electrical tape to give a little extra security in a vibration environment.

At 4:30, how do you know which wire connects with which? Thanks.

@TheToughGuysTV 4 года назад

Great question! There has been some discussions additionally in the comments on this video but to sum it up - The wire with the ribbing or stripe is the neutral wire, and the other one is hot. The two sides of the small stranded wire coating will usually have 'ribbing' or marks you can feel - that side is the neutral. If you don't see any markings on the wires, and the plug has two prongs of equal size, the cord is not polarized.
