DRAIN PIPING
1.
Before installing the Salvajor disposer,
the waste line should be properly cleaned
out to the connecting main sewer.
2.
Use as few elbows, tees and bends as
possible when making connections.
3.
All horizontal drain lines should have a
minimum fall of 1/4" per foot.
4.
A 3" diameter pipe is recommended for
Salvajor disposers models 300 thru 750.
A 2" adapter is supplied for existing 2" drains.
Models 75 thru 200 require a 2” drain.
IMPORTANT!
It is imperative to have a proper downward pitch from the
disposer outlet to the main sewer line to assure proper
gravity flow. Improper drain line installation can result in
drain backups.
5.
Do not connect into a grease trap,
interceptor or drum trap.
NOTE: Pressure regulators should be installed in areas
where pressure exceeds the recommended maximum of
80 psi.
WATER SUPPLY

Connect COLD WATER ONLY to disposer.

below for
NEW INSTALLATIONS ONLY!
)
7.
Plumb 3/4" IPS line and reduce to 1/2" at
the hand valve. Install the factory-supplied
solenoid valve with built-in flow control.
8.
From the solenoid, plumb 1/2" IPS line
above the flood plane of the table and install
the factory supplied vacuum breaker to local
code.
9.
Plumb 1/2" IPS line from the vacuum
breaker to either cone bowl, sink or top
housing inlet on the disposer. If connecting
to cone or sink, use 1⁄2" water inlet supplied
by the factory.
NOTE:
CONNECT COLD WATER ONLY TO DISPOSER.
Tempered water from pre-rinse or Salvajor scrapping
system is acceptable, but only in conjunction with an
independent, continuous cold water supply.
