Teflon tape in the threads alone won’t help. The rubber washer also serves as a spacer so to speak. Without it in place the hose fitting will always be loose. Replace the washer often. amzn.to/4fKjjZr

I’ve seen many get it wrong.

Thanks for watching

Awesome. Thanks for watchingv

You certainly need to buy good ones if you’re going to use them. There is a difference between plumber grade and Home Depot grade. Thanks for watching

@@masterflowplumbing9812 The problem is - as a homeowner, I have no idea how to "buy good ones". But I do know that stiff metal tubes with compression fittings will not be dislodged if they start leaking - the leak will always be relatively slow and never sudden - it can only be created by an external mechanical action.

What brand do you prefer ?

@@masterflowplumbing9812 I’m not brand loyal and so tired of cheap that breaks 2-3 years later. I dont mind paying more for quality. I have replaced 2 insinkerators in my kitchen for rusting and leaking by the electrical plug. Took it apart, SAME ISSUE! So, I don’t want to make the same mistake using inferior parts that will eventually rust. Looking for a better design.

No.

No idea. But it is a bi metal blade

No idea but it is a bi metal blade

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. No there is no way to extend without the compression connection. That’s what type of connection is at the shut off valve

You don’t wanna sleep with the fishes do ya ? lol. Thanks for watching

Thank you

Thanks for watching.

Aside from all that. I would personally skip the leak prone Badger series entirely if you own your home/condo (not renting). Start with the Contractor series as the baseline, and go up from there if you wish for a more robust, or feature rich unit.

When was the last time you purchased a contractor series unit ? ISE stopped making those years ago. The average person does not need extra power unless like I said you wanna grind up the Christmas tree after new year lol. And bad for a drain field huh ? That’s false. Food through a disposal is not much different than food through you. Missing a few stomach enzymes is all and there are already plenty of those in septic systems. Most modern septic tanks have filters before the exit to the field so again no worries. But yeah call me out on another one of my videos. I appreciate you watching.

​@@masterflowplumbing9812You are hilarious. The "Contractor Series" that you might be thinking of, only was discountinued sometime between 2021-2023. They are still available for sale as new all over the place (Insinkerator honors the warranty from either the time of purchase, or date of installation). Besides that Insinkerator currently still makes the model "Contractor 333", which is part of their "Power Series", which technically replaces the Contractor Series. So whether the older or newer, they are both still available as Contractor models. Besides that, not sure how you'd know much about septic issues, as you're not the guy that would be called to take care of those issues. People call septic tank service companies, not plumbers, to deal with septic systems. What I was referring to as far as potential drain field blockages, happens quite often with people that have underpowered, or disposal units that don't grind small enough. What happens is either the chunks are too big or stringy to be quickly broken down inside the septic tank, and float over and clog the filters, or entrance to the drain fields. Which slows the draining to the field, often enough that it can start backing up the septic tank into overflow, or start backing up into the home plumbing. Another issue if food scraps are not finely ground is stringy bits of organic matter from things like banana's, celery, potato peels, carrot peels, etc. Can get caught on the filters, encourging biomat growth that latch onto those things, further clogging the drainage. So short answer is yes, if you're using a garbage disposal with a Septic system, it's ideal to have that waste be as finely ground as possible. There is a big difference in grind quality between the various units, they are not all the same. Which is why I was saying it's important to consider multiple factors, before recommending a specific unit to someone. As far as my personal history with disposals. My last personal purchase was an Insinkerator Pro 1100XL, that I purchased brand new about 2-3 weeks ago. To replace a 3/4HP Badger unit that failed after a little more than 3 years of very light use. I specifically wanted the Pro 1100XL, as the newer top of the line Advanced Series, has the same 3 stage grinder elements (the 4th stage in the 4 stage units isn't an actual grind stage, but just a wiper arm underneath the cutter disk), but it is lacking other features like the jam sensor, and auto reverse that the previous gen 1100XL had. Pretty sure whether it's enforced by Whirlpool, or Insinkerator decided on their own, but they are cost cutting these units down in terms of features, and potentially their overall quality. Another reason I wanted a pre-Whirlpool designed model. Just in case.

With a compression coupling

It can’t hurt

Thanks for watching

Here ya go. Thanks for watching. Just discard the compression nut and ferrul that comes with it. amzn.to/3SbVrUn

@@masterflowplumbing9812 Thank you so much!

Thanks for watching

You need to be more specific

Thanks. We appreciate that. Thanks for watching

Thank you for watching

I’m not sure it would be necessary. This device is used more to unclog the drain valve than anything.on a well tank I’d imagine you could use the water pressure to accomplish that. Thanks for watching

Thank you for the compliment.

Bye

Bye

I doubt it But maybe. I’ve never tried

Thank you. This was our first video. We got better over the past two years.

Eat a bug troll.

@@masterflowplumbing9812 You could have used this as a learning experience. Instead, you double down on your incompetence. Disappointing, but ultimately not surprising.

@@michaelbluejay First thing I notice we are not for sale.

You are garbage

Read the comments in other videos. I have plenty of haters. lol. But I don’t care. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching

I’m not sure about cutting such small. pieces. I’d think that would be difficult with any cutter

😂I've done it. You reminded me to go slow. I had forgotten. Thanks.

Thanks for watching.

Yw

Yeah very lucky

Even if you could you probably shouldn’t

@masterflowplumbing9812 I was just wondering if they could be changed if connection leaked.

Watch the video. Turn up the volume

I can’t answer that. I do believe ac lines are going to be a different outside diameter tubing so it most likely will. It fit

Not sure what the date means but happy birthday

Sorry it happened to you too. And yeah ironic the timing. Thanks for watching

Yes they should pay me millions. Thanks for watching

I assure you it still works the same way

@@masterflowplumbing9812 Really? An old copper tube, oxidized, frozen and now swollen oversized and you assure me it works the same way? You must charge by the hour to make money.

You never said froze and expanded. You said oxidized

It’s why we do this. Thanks for watching we really appreciate it.

Thanks for watching

lol. Thanks
