There are so many videos that brush over important details, where you've done a fantastic job of showing and explaining various details on the overall installation. Great video work, excellent detailed explanations, and several tips on optional purchases that may not be necessary. Thanks for posting this video.

I replaced the sink we had in our laundry room a couple years ago and that was such a confidence booster learning how to do that. However, I've put off doing the kitchen sink because of the idea of moving the disposal unit...but DANG you made the process seem so easy and straightforward. Guess we're finally replacing the kitchen sink!

Thanks for the upbeat and clear tutorial! Learning to tackle more and more home projects does wonders for the morale

I have the same plumbing setup in my kitchen and your video pretty much explained it perfectly. I think I’ll go ahead and mess with it myself and hope for the best. Thanks for your help!

GREAT step by step with tips in there. Easy to follow with no skipping of steps. will be installing my own. Thank you for the video!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to reuse my disposal while replacing my dual sink with a single so all the old plumbing I need to replace. New cabinetry and the location of the sink is shifted a little as well. The connection from disposal to p trap I wanted to see visually, and looks like I need to get a 90 degree discharge tube then move my stub out to line up nicely. Awesome! Subscribed :)

Thank you so much for sharing this video! We were having trouble using the gasket ring for the sink drain, but the plumbers putty is even better solution!

Your video made this soooo easy. And you really saved me with the garbage disposal plug! I had no idea it was there and I 100% would have made a mess

This is good, very clear and easy to follow and good angles so I can actually see what you're doing. Thank you.

Thanks. I needed a video showing how to rebuild my drain due to different sink style. Thanks for including that part

[brianmontgomery]

Thanks. Now I think I can do this one myself! Wish me luck.

Great thanks! A little fast but very helpful

Once again, nice job Mike. The Kitchen looks beautiful. I decided not to reuse my old flange because I did not want to have to look at the stamped advertising on the flange for the rest of my life. I bought a high quality generic flange that had NO printing stamped into the flange.

Great tutorial. You'd be surprised there's almost no plumbing guide for single bowl with disposal lol. One small comment is if there's not an air gap, hang the dishwasher loop high, use a 3M wall hanger or anything.

Glad I watched your video before installing. U forgot the plumbers putty.

[stanleyrowell]

I would definitely install it myself being that I’m a home owner.

What about the vent for the dishwasher?

A garage disposal..I guess some people need it

[bryanmilne]

What do you do when the garbage disposal drain is too low to properly line up the p-trap with the kitchen drain pipe?
