What happens here

Connect the neutral and hot wires. Twist the exposed copper end of the ridged neutral wire from the power cord together with the white wire from the disposal, and screw on a wire nut. Then, twist the smooth hot wire from the power cord together with the black wire from the disposal and secure with another wire nut. For added security, wrap each wire nut connection with electrical tape, starting on the wires below the nut and wrapping up over the nut itself.

Goal: Connect power and secure connections

Tools and materials

  • Electrical Tape — Providing extra insulation and security for the wire nut connections
  • Wire Nuts — To securely connect the ends of the wires together

What they say

Hide

That in there, through that right down. That way it stays in place. Let's take that ground. We'll just get that in there first. Get it nice and tight. We need some wire nuts. Start below the wire nut, tape up your wire nut. Just to make sure that everything is going to stay together there. Take that, pop that in there, pop this back on. And you're ready to install.
