Threaded Discharge Tube Installation
If replacing exBting disposer, remove and discard existing d_scharge tube. (Unit will not seal properly with
old discharge tube )
1 Shde nut (A) over dBcharge tube (B), pushing nut over elbow into position (see Figure 11-1), The sup-
phed d_scharge tube has a beveled end to match the dBcharge outlet. Do not use supplied washer or
gasket for this installation.
2 Screw nut onto threaded outlet and tighten with adjustable phers DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3 Rotate disposer so that d_scharge tube _sahgned w_thdrain trap (To prevent leaks, do not pull or bend
d_scharge tube to drain trap ) If discharge tube is too long, cut off as much of tube as necessary w_th
hacksaw (make sure cut is stratght and clean.) If dtscharge tube _stoo short, you can purchase an
extension from a hardware store. (D_sposer must remam in vertBcal pos_t_onto prevent wbration.)

1 With a hacksaw, cut off flanged end of straight tube, removing as little as possible.
2. W_th tapered side of beveled washer toward disposer, slide nut (A) and beveled washer (C) over stratght
tube (see F_gure 11-3)
3 Rotate d_sposer, ailowmg straight tube to slide into dtscharge outlet a minimum of 1/2" past edge of
outlet (D_sposer must remain invertical position to prevent wbration.)
4 T_ghten nut w_th adjustable phers to secure discharge tube DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN,
5 Ensure lower mounting ring is sNI locked on mounting flange.
Bolted Discharge Tube Installation
t Shde metal flancje (A) over discharge tube (B) (see Figure 11-4)
2 Rubber gasket (C,) must be mstalled on top end of discharge tube Secure metal flange and discharge
tube to dtsposer with bolt (D)
3 Rotate d_sposer so that d_scharge tube _sahgned w_thdram trap (To prevent leaks, do not pull or bend

4 Place P-trap nut, then beveled washer (not supphed) on bottom of drscharge tube and tLghten on dram
trap (If you have a double sink, use separate dram traps for both s_des)
5 Ensure lower mounting ring _ssecurely locked over mounting flange ndges
Although the supphed D_scharge Tube _s preferred, a straight d_scharge may be used Shde metal flange
