ITEMS SUPPLIED BY OTHERS:

Plumbing from cold water supply to bowl or trough
Plumbing from hot water supply to dewatering unit
Plumbing from disposer to dewatering unit or dewatering unit to floor sink or floor drain
Shut-off valves
Electrical connections
NOTE: Install all components per the Instruction, Care and Use manual and in accordance to local, state, and/or national plumbing and electrical codes.

GENERAL NOTES

When positioning disposer, ensure that the overload reset button is accessible by end user.
Connect cold water to either the sink bowl or end of trough.
For proper removal of discharge chute, ease of cleaning, and general maintenance: Position the dewatering unit with the front surface of the discharge chute recessed 3″ (76.2 mm) (see Figure 1) from the front edge of the table and with a minimum clearance of 1″ (25.4 mm) between the underside of the table and top of the discharge chute
(see Figure 2).
Position the dewatering unit within 10′ (3.1 m) of the disposer outlet flange (see Figure 2).
When positioning control panel, ensure it is within sight of the disposer and dewatering unit.
For ease of installation and serviceability: Position the control panel with the front surface recessed 1-1/2″ (38.1 mm) from the front edge of the table and with a minimum clearance of 2″ (50.8 mm) between the underside of the table and the top of the control panel.
Maintenance: Disassemble and clean the dewatering unit a minimum of once daily. Interior of cabinet and discharge chute can be cleaned with hot soapy water. Auger, screen, and bearing bracket can be cleaned either manually with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.

PLUMBING NOTES

2″ NPT – used between disposer, dewatering unit, and drain.
When connecting the drain line from the disposer to the dewatering unit, use a maximum of (4) 90° bends (45° bends are recommended) with a minimum 1/4″ (6.4 mm) drop per foot of run or as local codes apply.
Trough applications in excess of 10′ (3.1 m) and/or systems plumbed with a cold water supply greater than 7 GPM (26.5 LPM) must incorporate the second drain outlet from the pulper and be drained independently to the floor sink or drain.
1/2″ NPT – used on syphon breaker, solenoid, and flow control valve.
1/2″ NOM compression – used on sink bowl nozzles.
1/2″ Ridged Copper (compression) – used on hot water connection to dewatering unit.
If water pressure exceeds the allowable pressure of 80 psi (551.6 kPa), pressure regulators should be used.
It is recommended that all fresh water and waste line plumbing connections be terminated with unions for ease of serviceability.
Note: Some applications can benefit from installing a ball type shutoff valves in the cold and hot water lines. Contact your InSinkErator Representative or the factory for more information.

TROUGH APPLICATIONS – CONTACT FACTORY

The recommended maximum trough length is 10′ (3.1 m).
A silver saver should be fabricated prior to end of trough to catch utensils and dishes.
For trough lengths of 10′ (3.1 m) or less place water nozzle at end of trough.
For trough lengths greater than 10′ (3.1 m), place one water nozzle at end of trough and one mid stream.
Trough magnets should be placed within 12″ (304.8 mm) of end of trough or trough intersection with sink bowl (see Figure 4).
Trough magnets can be mounted to trough either by tack welding or using weld studs (see Figure 5 for weld stud pattern).
Additional trough magnets can be used as necessary.
Size varies by application: 2 GPM (7.6 LPM) for LEED, 3 GPM (11.4 LPM) for Bowl, 5 GPM (18.9 LPM) for Trough
