I watched 5 other videos, including the Franke manufacturing installation video. Guess what not one of them made it clear till Lowe's on how to install the god awful spring ring with just one person and no special tool. As a women doing this, it was terrific to see a small woman tackle this. I did exactly what she did, laid on my back put the pieces in reverse order on my right arm (I am left handed), then laid under the disposal, slid all the pieces up my arm and was able to separate the spring clamp easily. The installation of my Franke disposal went like a breeze after that. Thank you Lowe's for the end to this project.
Clear Directions ,Good Steps in Correct Sequence. Easy to follow.Other Vids were long & painful to watch there was so much fumbling, bumbling," ya know" & "Ummm," I thought I would have to shoot myself. Thanks for the professional guidance. Really helped.
Because not everyone has an outlet under their sink. It's just the wires run through conduit to the disposer. And why do people always fuss over such a small step? 🙄
There are two common installation methods, but it’ll likely depend on the garbage disposal mount you have purchased as you’ll need to secure your disposal to your sink. While manufacturer’s include instructions to follow for a safe installation, we recommend fully reviewing this guide to learn more: www.lowes.com/n/how-to/install-a-garbage-disposal
husband was too heavy handed and stripped the mount and can't get the garbage disposal removed from drain. Everything is disconnected, but the entire drain moves and won't disconnect from the garbage disposal. Do you have a suggestion?
No, it does not have to but I suppose if you leave a lot of food stuff on your dishes when you put them in the dishwasher it may be a good idea. But if you practically clean your dishes (like I do) before putting them in the dishwasher there is no need.
As one article said " Pre-rinsing at the sink (and washing dishes by hand, for that matter) seriously wastes water and energy. You waste 6,000 gallons per year if you insist on pre-rinsing, Consumer Reports says. ... But even then, you should let your dishwasher do the heavy-lifting, so you don't waste water and energy.". If you have quite a bit of residue for the dishwasher to remove from the plates, there is a better chance of the sink clogging without a disposal.
@@slimdougmaddox4634 Yes, my sink is a double sink, too. But it was set up differently than the one in the video. My two sinks both drain into a separate P-trap, and then join via a Y-pipe before draining into the line behind the wall. Got my disposal in without replacing any plumbing besides the pipe draining the sink that now has the disposal under it.
i watcthed this and two other videos on disposals...until i finally saw a little lable that said ' press red reset button ' i guess that dosnt sell product..
i know nothing about garbage disposals and only looked up instructions to replace because my disposal stopped functioning. Thank you for your comment. I didn't even know there was a reset button. You just saved me a couple hundred bucks.
At 0:22 a 120VAC 15AMP outlet is shown, pretty sure the NEC requires 20AMP outlets in the kitchen, due to the potential amperage draw of garbage disposals, toasters and toaster ovens, mixers, blenders and the like. And outlets within 10 feet of water, like beneath a kitchen sink, where there is hot and cold water supply as well as waste water heading to the sewer to be AFCI or GFCI (Arc and\or ground fault circuit interrupted. So why would a DYI box store like Lowe's mis-lead DYI,ers? Then at 0:38 this video clearly shows a 20AMP breaker, #16 being tripped off, yet shows a 15AMP outlet at the beginning. Placing a 15AMP outlet between a GD and a 20AMP breaker is a receipt for a house fire. 1:23 yet another 15 AMP non-GFCI outlet on a kitchen counter top. At 1:38 no mention of the required electrical cord strain relief.
You have no clue what you are talking about. Only ONE outlet is GFCI on each circuit, you idiot! A 20a breaker with 15a outlets is pretty damn common in households across America.
There is nothing wrong with putting a 15 amp plug socket on a 20 amp circuit. The typical kitchen 20 amp plug socket takes both 20 amp and 15 amp plugs. And GFCI requirements vary. Most places do now require a GFCI breaker or plug socket. Video is from 6.5 years ago, though. It varies by jurisdiction.
She didn't, they explained at the beginning of the video you will need an outlet wired to a switch (call an electrician). Later in the video they explain how to wire the whip (wire connections on one end, plug on another) to the disposal by removing a plate connecting like colored connections with wire nuts and replacing the cover plate. The only step they skipped was plugging it in...
this is why you should hire a professional!... this was a good tutorial. but this is not how to do it... not enough plumbers putty for one. and she called a sanitary T a T pipe. if you don't know the proper names of the pieces in your video you should not be installing them. and it was not even the right application for that type of plumbing underneath a sink. you should be using a P-trap and disposal kit. there is no need to have solvent weld fitting underneath your sink except going into the wall. as this video was informational to a point it will be used as a what to do but also as a what NOT to do video.
She had plenty of putty. There was a done that came out after and they mentioned removing the extra. If there wasn't enough then no cleanup would be needed since none would come out.
Oh, and they didn't use a sanitary T because none of this hooks into any ventilation system. If there is ventilation it will be down further past the trap (which should keep gas from coming out the sink).

Yay :D
It would be a great if all installations went as smoothly as these tutorials.
Facts
It’s freaking hilarious how they show some housewife making it look so simple when everybody knows it’s not even like that lol
Ya if only
lowes is the real mvp with these how to videos. home depots videos are crap.
Home Depot is crap... so there's that...
1:49. Now [spend a half hour trying to ] align the......
Lowe's wifey built different

If it's not plugged in, you don't need to turn the power off at the circuit breaker.
My brother lost his eyesight in Vietnam
Ok tomorrow I’m going to attempt to replace my busted disposal with a new one. Wish me luck! Heading to the nearby Lowe’s to buy the replacement.
You've got this, LeRoy. Good luck.
Leroy how did it go?
@@2maxmax1maxhe died 😭😂

Question why must one turn off the power if it’s unplugged
Is it necessary to turn the power off? If the disposal isn't plugged in while installing, why would you need to do this?
Because water and electricity can kill you.
Because not everyone has an outlet under their sink. It's just the wires run through conduit to the disposer. And why do people always fuss over such a small step? 🙄
I love you
Are all garage disposals universally installed this way?

It will clog drain by dispose garbage
husband was too heavy handed and stripped the mount and can't get the garbage disposal removed from drain. Everything is disconnected, but the entire drain moves and won't disconnect from the garbage disposal. Do you have a suggestion?
Might be time to call a pro rather than risk damaging the plumbing. Thanks for watching!
Trade him in!🤣
is it possible for someone to cut their hand in that .....i mean if someone is stupid enough or does it have preventive measures.
@@manz007 I heard only the 1 horse power has this sort of saftey. It won't run without a plug in the sink. 1/3 hp and others doesn't have this.
cut it out
Does the dish washer have to go through the garbage disposal? Is there an advantage to do this?
No, it does not have to but I suppose if you leave a lot of food stuff on your dishes when you put them in the dishwasher it may be a good idea. But if you practically clean your dishes (like I do) before putting them in the dishwasher there is no need.

Why do I need a T pipe before the P trap?
How else would you connect two different sources into one pipe?
Michael Dalton My double sink drains into one pipe via a Y-pipe. The garbage disposal went in beautifully, BTW.
T
Because the sink in the video was a double sink.

Does LOWES have a company that theyuse to install garbage disposals
Where I live, yes.
See sebastian ward insinkerator videos you tube youl love what you can put down them

The only problem is that my disposal is too heavy
strange how you just skipped skipped over the T Pipe installation....
We do not need to turn the breaker off… it is a generic outlet powered with a switch…
Your pictures on connecting disposer to sink need work. Shows me nothing that helps me or tells me anything that is useful.
Except where she skips an ENTIRE step in wiring.
She didn't, they explained at the beginning of the video you will need an outlet wired to a switch (call an electrician).

Hm, must be a Clarkman.
That’s stupid garbage disposal will be running all the tine. They fail to mention you need a switched outlet or something😮😂
