Securing the Sink flange
Before installing your waste disposal makes sure you have all the components necessary, by checking through
the component list above. Disassemble all the components and separate the sink flange assembly, excluding the
splash baffle, from the main waste disposal body.
1.
First, unhook the hinged clamp that holds the sink flange and the main body together.
2.
Once the clamp is unhooked pull on the flange to detach it from the main body.
3.
Then unscrew the mounting ring from the sink flange. Upon doing this the two gaskets should fall out as
well.
To ease the installation process, make sure to leave the rubber splash baffle attached onto the main body.
1.
When installing the unit, place the rubber gasket over the sink flange’s threaded ring. Insert the flange
and rubber gasket into the sink drain opening from the top side of the sink. (It is not necessary to use
plumber’s putty when installing the sink flange).
2.
Insert the fibre gasket from the underside of the sink.
3.
Attach the mounting ring and tighten with one hand while using the other hand to press down on the
sink flange. Hand tighten as tight as possible. Do not try to tighten with a wrench or hammer. Now
tighten the screws in the mounting ring to lock it in place.
