Waste King 500 Commercial Disposer Instruction Manual

Waste King 500 Commercial Disposer

BEFORE INSTALLING, READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS FROM HAZARDOUS MOVING PARTS. SERIOUS INJURY POSSIBLE IF NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED WITH A HOPPER OR A CONE SPECIFIED IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. IF YOU ARE REPLACING AN OLD DISPOSER GO TO MOUNTING DISPOSER

INSTALLATION OF CONE SINK INTO DISH OR WORKTABLE

1. (See Figures 1 and 2.) Locate hole center as shown on Figure 2. Cut a “C” (Figure 2) diameter hole in dish or work table, a minimum of 2” from the inside front edge (operator’s side). Hole can be cut with a “nibbler” after a knockout hole 1-1/2” diameter has been punched.
2. Lift the cone to the underside of table with cone flange overlapping all around (Figures 1 and 3).
3. Check the alignment of cone spray fittings to be sure they are in the proper position. For 15” and 18” cones, position such that holes are located to the right and left side of the operator. (See Figure 7 for location.)
4. Tack weld, spot weld, bolt, or rivet flange of cone sink to the underside of dish or work table. If bolted or riveted, smooth top surface and wash-solder around bolt or rivet heads and sand smooth.
5. Bead weld or solder and wash-solder all around where the table joins the flange of the cone sink for a clean, watertight, sanitary installation.
6. The cone sink has been designed with the step, as shown in Figure 3. In the welding or soldering operation required to assemble the cone sink to the dish or work table, every attempt should be made to keep the recessed, flat portion of the cone free of the welded or solder material. This will minimize the clean-up time required and provide a smooth, flat surface for any cover.

SPRAY-RINSE INSTALLATION

1. Locate center (Figures 1 and 2).
2. Drill a 7/16” diameter hole through center.
3. Assemble the 7/8” punch and tighten bolt head, as shown in Fig. 4, until the die pierces the stainless steel, leaving a clean opening of 7/8”.
4. Place the body valve and base in position, assemble the washer and locknut as shown in Figure 5.
5. Attach the vol-temp assembly to the projecting nipple, as shown in Figure 7.

MOUNTING DISPOSER

For models to be installed in sink with 3-1/2” outlet, see separate sheet enclosed for mounting instructions.

1. Clamp ring taped to top side of the Hush Cushion should be placed on the underside of top flange of Hush Cushion. Line up holes in clamp ring with holes in Hush Cushion and insert six screws also contained in plastic bag. Insert through clamp ring and Hush Cushion from the underside.
2. Line up holes in loose steel clamp ring on cone sink with screws in Hush Cushion and raise disposer into position with screws matching holes in clamp ring in approximate position with plumbing drain outlet.
3. To manually raise the disposer into position, lift the unit by grasping the disposer with one hand from the bottom of the motor, and with the other hand around the Hush Cushion  guide the unit into position, as shown in Figure 6.
4. Attach a nut by two or three threads to screw and then attach another nut to screw on the opposite side of disposer. Finger-tighten two screws to hold unit in place. Attach remaining four nuts to screws and finger-tighten evenly.
5. Check alignment with plumbing. Adjustments in alignment to plumbing can be made by rotating the unit carefully before tightening the nuts. To assist in rotating unit, raise the unit from the bottom of the motor to relieve weight.
6. With the unit in its proper position, proceed to tighten six nuts evenly.

PLUMBING INSTALLATION  IMPORTANT! Before installing the Waste King

disposer, the connecting waste line must be cleaned out to the connecting sewer main.

MAKE ALL PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ACCORDING TO LOCAL CODES.
Recessed thread fittings must be used throughout and all pipe ends should be carefully reamed.

FIG. 7 CONE ASSEMBLY (Typical Installation)

Looking from top

NOTE : A globe valve, if used for metering flow, must be installed between the solenoid valve and the disposer. See metering valve Fig. 7. Any valve ahead of the solenoid valve must be opened and cause no restrictions.
IMPORTANT! Do not test or run the disposer without minimum water flow (see Plumbing Installation) as this will damage the seal and void the warranty.

MINIMUM WATER FLOW RATE
5 GALLONS PER MINUTE WHILE IN USE

NOTE: BASE UNIT INCLUDES DISPOSER, MOUNTINGS, AND DRAIN OUTLET. OTHER ITEMS SHOWN IN GRAY IN FIGURE 7 ARE AVAILABLE IN EQUIPMENT GROUPS ORDERED SEPARATELY.

1. For spray-rinse with vol-temp, run a 1/2” hot water line to point indicated in Figure 7. Connect to spray-rinse globe valve, hot water side. At no time should hot water be connected directly to disposer or cone sink.

2. Run a 1/2” cold water connection to point indicated in Figure 7.

3. Install solenoid valve in line, in upright (coil side up) position as shown in Figure 7, with arrow on side pointing in direction of water flow.

4. Install syphon breaker as in Figure 7. CHECK LOCAL CODE.

5. Make connection to water inlet fitting of cone sink. See Figure 7.

6. Make 1/2” cold water connection to spray-rinse globe valve, cold water side. This must be separate cold water line. Do not tee off of line to cone unless a 3/4” line is furnished to assembly location. See Figure 7.

7. Assemble swirl spray(s) as shown in Figure 9. The assembly method for the swirl spray(s) is the same for all models. Other combinations of convertible and fixed swirl spray(s) are optional. The outlet hole of the fixed swirl spray should be horizontal to promote vortex action in the cone.
   NOTE : The convertible spray should be easily adjustable by the operator to function as a swirl spray or as a dish-washing flume. Avoid excessive tightening of nut or lock nut.

8. Connect 1/2” pipe to swirl spray as shown in Figure 7.

9. The disposer is equipped with a drain outlet designed for a slip-joint connection to a conventional 11/2” trap (not furnished). Connect the trap with a branch waste line running directly into the sewage connection (Figure 7). Do not connect into a grease trap. A minimum slope of 1/4” per foot of run of waste line is recommended. Limit 11/2” drain line to a 15-foot run, free of turns. A minimum number of elbows, tees, etc., reduce the possibility of plumbing stoppages. If unusual sewer conditions exist (too many bends, main too long, low water pressure resulting in low flow rate, or if a high percentage of food waste is leafy and/or paper), the use of a time delay relay and water injector into sewer is suggested. Under such conditions, additionally, a larger size cold water line, larger solenoid valves and larger syphon breakers should be used to overcome potential stoppages. (Parts and data available from factory.) Minimum cold water flow rate used with Models 500 through 1500: 5 gallons per minute or enough to push waste through pipeline into the sewer.
   TIP : Water volume adjustment: The top of the swirling water should occasionally crest to the body of the swirl water inlet.

10. To use the optional supplementary water connection, see Figure 8.
