If the installer is not experienced in plumbing installation, InSinkErator recommends that competent professional assistance is sought. Damage to the disposer or accessories as a result of improper installation is not covered under warranty. All installations must comply with local plumbing codes.

DRAIN LINE CONNECTIONS
To allow easy access to overload reset button, the disposer plumbing should be connected with the electrical control box facing the operator.
When connecting the drain line, place the “P-trap” as close to the disposer outlet flange as possible. Do not connect the drain line to a grease trap, interceptor, or drum trap.
All horizontal runs should be as short as possible, with a minimum fall of 1/4 inch per foot.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
When connecting the disposer to the incoming water supply, use as few elbows and tees as possible. Connect to the cold water line only. All water line fittings are 1/2″ NPT except the sink bowl nozzles (1/2″ compression).

Install the flow control valve, water solenoid valve, and the syphon breaker according to the direction of the flow arrows marked on each valve body (see Figure 9).

NOTE: A syphon breaker must be installed above the sink flood plane per local plumbing codes.

ROUTING WATER FLOW

• In a trough system, route all water flow to the end of the trough to flush food waste.
• In a sink bowl system route all water through the sink bowl.
