Roger, I’m 24 and my girl needed some work done on her sink, little to say I came in and got the job done thanks to your video. Now I’m reaping many benefits this evening when I get to bed. You’re a legend

I am a maintenance mechanic, not a plumber. I do residential and some commercial electrical/plumbing/appliance repair. I had a sink basket that was kicking my ass today. I could not get it to seal. After watching your video I realize I was not spreading the putty around the flange correctly. I knew you could use too much putty and it would interfere with the seal so I was only wraping it in the corner of the flange, not out toward the edges. In my defence, I am still learning and I have only had to do one or two stainer baskets. Thanks for your help, you made me a better plumber!

Dear sir, I am an electrician here in Texas and I want to say thank you for your video. The tips you shared helped as I replaced our 40 year old sink w a brand new sink, faucet and disposal. Keep sharing your knowledge and helping others. 🎉

Thank you for the excellent tutorial; with your help I was able to easily strip all of the bad fixtures, piping, and whatnot out of the kitchen sink and replace all with new kit on my first try. Results: 1) Everything drains well 2) Nothing leaks (yet...) 3) It was a fun Saturday's worth of entertainment 4) No F-Bombs were expended 5) She Who Must Be Obeyed is somewhat impressed by my basic shop class competence ;)

Last time I did my disposal I forgot to put the power cord in until after I'd attached the disposal, sure was fun getting the locking ring for the NM cable connector on. The idea behind putting the disposer directly into the T seems quite good to me, I will definitely do that in the future. Also god bless Roger for doing all this while wearing gloves, patience of a saint.

Hey Roger great channel you have!! I pipe mine almost exactly the same! Couple things I do a little bit differently I install the faucet and water lines before the garbage disposal so I don't have to fight getting behind the piping after the Garbage disposal is in place! other one is I get the garbage disposal mounted but I don't tighten the locking ring down until I get my drain assembly where I want it! And last but not least I fill each sink bowl at least halfway or better with water and let it go and check for any leaks! Again great channel you have here and your editing is great!! Keep up the good work in Texas! I'm over here in Missouri! Have a great summer!

Oh snap so that’s what that tool is for, I’m an apprentice hotel engineer and when they gave me my tool cart it had that basin wrench on it but nobody explained to me what it’s used for. The past couple months I’ve been tightening up those nuts on the under side the sink with an adjustable wrench and no wonder it was taking me forever. Well now I can save so much time on my work orders when the faucets come loose! Thanks Roger!

I do pretty much the same as you with the total installation. I use the tool that comes with the disp to tighten it. I also buy the disp that have the cord attached already. Save time and money. I also use a air gap when there’s a dw. Great channel Roger! With no “d”

Master plumber for 29 years in Florida , I usually use a flanged tail piece ran horizontally off the disposal, I give it a slight amount of fall coming back to my tee to aide the food particles make it to the trap & prevent stoppages. Today a customer had pulled a 2 compartment sink 8” deep, & replaced it with an under mount 10” deep single compartment sink and they had a disposal. I had to use the 90 in that particular application & almost didn’t have enough room to get everything connected because of the sanitary tee inside the wall was roughed in unusually high for some reason. Anyways I got it done without opening the wall & customer was pleased at the end of the day so that’s all that really matters to me.

I’m currently enrolled in a plumbing institute and this was EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Thank you for the video

thank you. I'm working on my mom's house. this helped me tremendously. Subscribed

I always preferred using the tailpiece going across to the regular basket side. I seen in the thumbnail you had it a way that I thought was strange. I’m glad I watched this video. From now on anytime this option is possible based on the positioning of the stub out, I will do this.

Excellent video. Very 'attention to detail' person. Great tips on how to keep my home nice (disposal on cardboard)!

Thank you for the lesson! This worked great for me. I was able to get rid of the jumbled previous homeowner special. Only difficulty I had was my drain pipe was mounted much higher than yours so I had to modify the downspout from the disposal and the p trap.

My lord Roger you're the man!! I would have never guessed that I needed to make a hole for the dish washer to drain none of the videos that I saw mentioned that, I was trying literally everything to make the dish washer drain again, little did I know that the solution was to watch this video you save the day again! Thank you the best plumbing channel! 🤙

Finally detailed plumbing for my sink.

Your the man Roger, ive watched lots of your videos. I swear that we were trained by the same plumber coming up. Ive started using a product called skin tight its blue on all my disposals, pop-ups, tub/shower drains etc. The good thing about this product is you can get it things loose if you ever have to take it apart again unlike pure silcone. I still use putty under the faucet. I have found the putty will break down and wash out over time. Food for though brother. Doesnt matter how long you have been plumbing you never stop learning, keep the video's coming..

When mounting the disposal that Allen wrench (you used to explain how to unjam the disposal) works great to tighten it in place as well. I keep a couple in my toolbag and even one in my work vehicle for those disposal calls.

Love the video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Also love the quality of the production on your videos. Keep it up.

Good video, I prefer the horizontal disposal waste. It's not often food will get stuck there. Besides it's not hard to take apart.I would add that with the p trap on the other side, snaking the drain is easier.

Love the Dispozall job

In CO we use a straight waste arm on the disposal and have the tee connected to the drain side with the p trap right below it. This seems more complicated and less practical in tight or deep sink situations

Ive dropped in a dishwasher, sink pvc replacement, and garbage disposal and this video put things into perspective on how many things Ive glossed over. Side note, lost wife almost 2 yrs ago and idle time is the devils playground so no project to small too l lg to tackle. Safety first

WOW, U make this look so easy but for someone like Me that's never done plumbing before it's insane trying to figure it out cause my main ABS pipe is coming up from the floor middle ways & disposal too, I am the home owner and just didn't have the time to hire someone to come out and do it, I remodeled my kitchen with New countertop and New sink which is 9in deeper than the original one & before I start this I am gonna put everything on the back side cause that's the way it should be so thanks for saying it needs to be in the back instead of the front side and I was going to go straight out from the disposal but after watching your video I am gonna go back & put it going down, thank you so much for making this video I really appreciate it, you just made my Job easier

Hey buddy I don't care what anyone else said I think ur video was excellent and it helped me immensely! The only problem I had was the previous "plumber" ( I use this word lightly when referring to mine lol ) had the dishwasher drain hose connected to the pipe coming down from the other side of the sink from ware the disposal was and when I removed all the PVC pipes they were packed solid with crud and was a helluva mess to clean but ur video was excellently done and I couldn't of done it without ur help so I just wanted to thank u and lyk that I appreciated ur video. My girl was thrilled with me and her new disposal and the price I charged her lmao. Thanks again!

The problem is most people that get new sinks get deeper ones. So you’re limited on how deep you can be

Milwaukee makes a cutter just for that pipe. It’s amazing.

Love it. Great video. Thank you I’m going to the store now to get my supplies.

Very helpful great video

Hello..... I got it installed myself.....Roger That!!!

One thing I've noticed, here in Colorado they tend to put a standpipe under the sink for the dishwasher rather than draining it into the disposer.

Extremely helpful, sir you’re a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I see where your way of piping gives a little more ability to line up with the trap adapter also . I use a catch pan and tubular cutter made by Rigid to cut my lines ,, leaves them bur free,, and makes straight cuts ,, after all not a lot of space in the hubs I want as much contact as possible I also now only use the blue rubber washers ,, I’ve seen too many plastic ones break or bind then become loose again a few days later

"This is probably I wouldn't do in a customer's house" Me: *Cuts everything with a Sawzall inside the customer's house*

I would hire this guy on the spot great video !

I work property maintenance and do general repairs. My first time installing a garbage disposal I forgot to break the seal on the dishwasher drain, had to run back later that day so the customers dishwasher would work. Wont forget again lol

Quik tip, best to leave lok nut on the romex connector and use it as a jam nut, especially if you have to install the cord after the plumber has installed the disposal. That way you can stop the clamping screws in a direction where they are easy to access. Example, thread the body of the clamp only enough to have a good start, then using a screwdriver tap on lok nut lugs to tighten while holding clamping screws in the position where you want them.😎

The Allen wrench provided with the disposal works great to lock it in.

You put the ring on like you know what you're doing! It's almost never that easy for me!

I use the same basin. I would wait on the water lines. Most the time the nuts that hold the faucet down don’t fit over them. Always check first

I actually put the disposal in the box if I’m alone to put the locking ring on the saddle! But if I have a helper or someone is available I’ll have them hold the strainer down ..

I’m here today, funny enough, because the handyman I hired who charged $400 to install my garbage disposable (yes, disposal and tools were supplied to him), didn’t align the “insinkerator” straight and it drove me batshite! I had to learn to fix that or I’d have to move. Thanks for this great info!

Thank you! I am going to do this !!!!

EXACTLY what I was looking for

looks like there is s lot more room than normal under that sink.... if only... thx RW for another great vid

Excellent instruction! Appreciate ya!

my tip would be to add the old garbage disposal (assuming you have the old one) into the box of the new garage disposal as weight onto the topside of the sink to keep the strainer for moving. The snap ring is not that easy to put in when working with an actual kitchen cabinet - your not going to have that reach around per this video. The weight will keep the strainer from popping up prematurely. #2 tip the garbage disposal jam buster wrench to unclog the GB is actually used to lock the flange nut 16:01 fits in perfectly no need for channel locks or screw driver. #3 the plastic slip nut washers are junk wouldn't not recommend utilize rubber slip nut washers- good brand is oatey

Sweet Roger good job and she’ll float for sure. BUT 😂 ida put my tailpiece extension in the disposal then trap it on the other side. thanks for sharing

Awesome tutorial. Thanks

Roger I have only done basic plumbing work around the house such as switching out sinks, pipes, drains etc and you are an inspiration, I hope to one day have a skillset as good as yours!

Thank you so much !

What I’ve seen most common in my area is the thicker (schedule 40 ) PVC traps and also a trap under each side of the sink.

I just did this at my house two separate connections going into the wall for each drain . I did not put plumbers putty around the faucet though.. should I take it out and re do that ? Just used the plastic piece and some clear caulk around the top of it.

Very professional with great “extras”👍

I'm just mentally stumped at Roger calling it a "DisposALL"

I like to connect my supply lines to the faucet, then install faucet. I really like the tool that you can slide up on the supply lines (is hollow or slotted out)....it will tighten the nuts that hold the faucet to the sink, it replaces the basin wrench, and it is long enough it is below the bowls to tighten/loosen the large nuts (rigid makes the tool I have).

Master plumber since 99, plumbing since 91 I put the tee on the basket strainer side. See how hard water is blown out of a running disposal? Like a pump sort of... yeah, I'm not worried about any solids in that horizontal. Any solids that sticky are gonna be a problem in the next horizontal or the base of a stack or a dang short turn fitting downstream. Tee under the strainer leaves more space for the customers junk. Is there ever stuff under the sink when you do a service call? Always right? And when drains, especially slip joint drain piping with long pieces ( lots of leverage ) are where all that junk goes... pieces get pushed around more, joints get loosened. I like to leave more room for their junk and less pipe in shorter pieces that are more difficult to loosen due to occassionally being knocked around by the detergent bottles. Not criticizing your style, these are just MY observations.

Nope!!! I didn't get flushed! You helped me with my first install. EASY🙏✌️💪. TY!

Thank you so much! You're AWESOME!

Great video info , Thank you!!!

First year apprentice, trying to learn as much as I can bro,

On the basket strainer side, always fill the sink with hot water, and retighten that basket strainer, if you give a one year warranty, it will leak before that warranty is up, I guarantee it. Big D's plumbing Medford Oregon

thx for your wonderful video ❤

New sub. Thank you for the straight forward and easy to follow information.

I have a basin wrench but it was useless for removing the old fixture due to corrosion. But with a little bit of breakage it give me enough room up top to sawzall through the bolt

Nice video but you forgot about installing the fiber washer after installing the black rubber washer on the sink basket. Also, it is important to mention to make sure the wires of the disposal are properly matched and connected to the whip cord for electrical reasons polarity reasons. I believe the 2020 NEC (National Electrical Code) also requires that the disposal is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet for safety reasons since you are dealing with water and electricity.

I always learn from your videos! Thanks for this one. I am needing to make room for a trash can tray with a double sink. If I use a 45° adapter will that impede drainage from the strainer side? Also if such a part doesn’t exist should I purchase 2 45° fittings and rock on? Thanks again. I owe you for the countless times you helped this amateur! Lol

Great info.

perfect roger my only advice i dont use a saw to cut the pvc home depot sells a milwaukee tubing cutter specifically for this application it also bevels the pipe😀

I always have one trap on each side, coming together with a double wye.

Thank you for the video

My space is tight. Disposal outlet CL 7 1/2" below sink, drain CL 8 1/2" below sink. Thinking of a short tail and 90 below basket and branching it over to tie in with another 90 ABOVE the disposal discharge (tee in the discharge to the vertical) rather than tie in with a tee BELOW the discharge. Then I might just be able to fit a P below the discharge. It will be tight.

Excellent video, thanks!

Excellent

Roger, the one thing I could never understand is the fiber, or as I call them, cardboard washer on the basket strainer. I've always used them, but they go on after the rubber washer. What the heck is the use of having them. Again, I always put them on, just don't understand, what good are they? The rubber washer alone is going to seal. It's not like the fiber washer is rigid enough to keep the rubber washer flat or anything.

Great video. My garbage disposal is leaking and I don’t really use it. I’m thinking just take it out and make it look like the right side of the sink. Besides the white pipes what pieces will I need the basket strainer and such does that come in one piece let’s say at Lowe’s.

Roger, I lost both parents 1 month from each other this year due to COVID complications. I saved this video to a playlist so when I replace the kitchen faucet and/or sink I have the proper knowledge of what to do. Lost dad on 9/16/2021 and mom 10/16/2021.

In some places your not allowed to hook the dishwasher directly to the disposal so check 1st before you bust out the knockout.A dishwasher tailpiece is whats used in stead and has a protusion on it to connect your dishwasher to commonly used on the vertical but also can be installed on the horizontal in a pinch

That tool you showed for un jamming also can be used to tighten the flange

This video should be titled How to Install a Garbage Disposal

Your vid saved us some big$ Thank you so much!

No air vent? lol Good work man

I'm watching this very helpful video because I want a disposal in my 1959 home and the sink and pipe set up is exactly the same as shown here except one thing, the dishwasher is already installed and the hose goes to the straight pipe going down on the right. I wonder if it is ok to leave it and not connect to the disposal or if not, can the connection on the side be capped or should that section be replaced?

I'm right now in the Process of changing the horizontal from the disposal to a 90. Seems the horizontal way keeps clogging the chopper on the diswasher.

Yeah !, that insert for the sink drain riser prevents a leak, otherwise, you'll be wondering why the drain is leaking !! Lol 😆

This video provided a lot of useful information that I will use on my sink replacement. The one variance I have from the video is my sink is going from two drains to one drain. The single drain will have a garbage disposer and a dishwasher hooked to it. The single drain is on the right side of the sink. The outlet pipe in the wall is on the left side. The person who installed the sink has the bridge going straight out the disposer on the right to the basket drain on the left that has the P trap leading through the wall. Based on this video I need to have the pipe from the disposer angle down at 90 degrees first, then the p trap and from the p trap a bridge to the outlet on the left side. Am I correct? Did I even make sense? Sorry I am new to plumbing.

Back when I was a plumber's apprentice, I learned to install everything but the kitchen sink.

The way he talks sounds like mix of John Travolta and Christopher Walken .

I prefer the basket strainers with the smaller nut, makes it much easier to tighten

I only use the straight piece when there’s very little room for the Ptrap

Thank you so much for helping me install a sink, disposal with dishwasher connection. I was so confused about the washers and how to connect a non threaded pipe to a threaded pipe. And why doesn't anything explain the 2 types of washers? I wish you'd explained them. My washer just slid around on my pipe. Come to find out, my Handyman Store sold me an old piping kit, the washers were dried out, they were hard with no "rubberiness". Could you dumb down just a wee bit for those of us who now find themselves financially tight and now need to make our own repairs? Thank you.

1:00 - put the hoses on, put the faucet in, then take the hoses back off cause there's no way the nuts will fit over the hose

😂 There's an oring on that drain. Took me watching THIS video to realize that. I was wondering WHY it wouldn't disconnect, and HOW the original was put on.. , somethings gotta give, lol.. the ORING.. jesus. *face palm* Once i removed oring.. BAM comes right apart. THank you!! Lesson WELL receieved!! I played w drain before knew about oring for about 15min, no progress. Once watched this, oring was off within 3 seconds. Wow.

Hey Rodger, the plumbing at my job sucks but we’re in California and I can’t get your assistance 😭

Great video

Where would you add an AAV if you needed to? Plus, my drain comes up into the bottom of the cabinet instead of the wall.

Do you have a video on 2 drain sink replacing with a one drain sink , garbage disposal and dishwasher hook up ?

Might wanna do a video installing kitchen sink with no disposal & a dishwasher. You may have one on your channel already …using a dishwasher Y etc etc

The power cord needs to be hooked up hot side to the black and neutral side to white

I like to do the piping in the kitchen sink in the same way…..often though I will use pvc instead of a kitchen kit to install the drainage.
