CFNERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
In old houses, it is generally good practice to clean out the existing drain line
from sink to sewer before installing the disposer.
:. The disposer can be installed in steel, monel, stainless steel or cast iron sinks,
with a sink opening of 3-l/2” to 4” without sink alteration.
.: Standard
I -l/2” O.D. or 2” O.D. drain pipe is satisfactory for drain lines. Long
horizontal drain lines should be eliminated. Drum traps and grease traps should
not be used.

(,I. Fig. 1) into the drain opening. Be sure the sink flange is located in the
center of the drain opening to assure a water-tight seal. NOTE: The rubber sink
flange seal (2, Fig. 1) should always be used where possible. In rare instances
v+here the contour or thickness of the sink opening does not permit use of the
seal, a permanently pliable sealing compound can be
used.
