In this video West shows us how to install a garbage disposal from Insinkerator. Insinkerator garbage disposals have long been the preffered brand by many homeowners because of their solid construction, quiet operation and dependable performance.

Transcript:
Welcome to our garbage disposal installation video. In this video West Harris shows us how to install an Insinkerator Badger One 1/3 horsepower garbage disposal. This garbage disposal features a powerful 1/3 horsepower engine, a rugged steel construction and an effective sound reduction system.
Start by removing the clip ring and fasteners from the bottom of the garbage disposal drain. You have the option to use the included gasket for your drain or plumbers putty. Using putty over the included gasket may provide a better seal and last longer than the gasket.
Clean sink to prevent debris from interfering with the seal under drain. Once the drain has been seated in the sink you may need help for this next part. Ask someone to hold the drain in place from above while you slide the fasteners into position and reattach the clip ring. Tighten the fasteners down, don't over tighten. If you used the plumbers putty instead of the gasket, clean off any of the excess putty from around your garbage disposal's drain.
Now that the drain is installed we can turn our attention back to the garbage disposal itself. We will start by installing the rubber insert into the drain on the side of the garbage disposal. Then we will slide the chrome fastener plate onto the elbow pipe that is included with our garbage disposal. The flared end of the pipe will be installed into the rubber insert that we just installed inside of the garbage disposal. The metal plate can then be fastened to the disposal to form a tight fit that will prevent leaks.
Above your elbow pipe you may notice a small barbed pipe. If you have a dishwasher, the dishwasher drain pipe can be installed onto this fitting. However, since there is no dishwasher involved in this installation we are going to simply let it be.
It is now time to install the garbage disposal. Installation is simple but be careful since garbage disposals are very heavy. Simply slip the disposal into place. If you are looking at the disposal from below, the disposal attachment fitting will rotate on in a clockwise direction.
Attach your Garbage disposal drain to your P trap using the hand fasteners. You should now test your connections by running some water down your garbage disposal drain. If no leaks are present, you are now ready to plug in your disposal and test it.

We hope you enjoyed this brief tutorial.

Your videos are the reason why YouTube is so important

Thank you for the video. Mine got a bit of broken glass wedged in the grinder and was jammed. When I dropped the motor unit to be able to get in there, the mount broke loose from the bottom of the sink (the old putty died). I couldn't figure out how it was held on there (the snap-ring opening was facing the back), so I came to YouTube for the answer. Luckily, I wound up not having to remove the snap-ring after all, as I could clean out the old putty and fit in a new roll with the 3/4" gap that was there after loosening the 3 screws all the way.

I appreciate the help.

Ha! Thanks man. I just watched this, and replaced mine with my kid. I was laughing because neither of us knew how to do it this morning, and now we’re DIY superheroes. The pipes it connected to don’t quite link up, and there’s a drip.
Is seems like it’s always the next two joints that also need replacement.
Thanks for the video, I know it was seven years ago, but it did the trick today.

Thank you so much. There are many videos but some don’t cover the alignment part. This was very useful.

Thank you for a very good video! Unfortunately, my Insinkerator was leaking and seized up after 23 years. I didn't think it was worth repairing so I got a brand new unit this evening and it was a very easy job thanks to your great step by step instructions. I hard wired mine in and it works great!

[fitzgreg]

Thank you much for this. Just saved me $300 - $400+ !!!

Thanks for the video. This was very helpful for me to watch before I installed a new garbage disposal in my house.

[sunnysingh]

In all the garbage disposal installations online, not one addressed the problem of overcoming resistance of dry rubber mounting seals and collars against mental parts. Such resistance occurs due lack of lubrication of the different surfaces. This can lead to improper alignment of disposal unit into mounting collar seat which can result in leaks. A very simple solution requires a thin coating of lubricant to surfaces, such as lithium grease to alleviate resistance. This also makes installation and later removal much easier.
