What happens here

Insert a Romex connector, also known as a strain relief clamp, into the circular knockout hole on the bottom of the disposal. Ensure the threaded part is inside the electrical compartment. Use a pair of channel lock pliers to securely tighten the nut on the outside of the connector, fixing it firmly in place.

Goal: Secure strain relief

Tools and materials

  • Channel Lock Pliers — Tightening the nut on the Romex connector
  • Romex Connector — Securing the power cord to the disposal housing and providing strain relief

What they say

Hide

Instead of actually buying a new cord attachment for a garbage disposal that doesn't come with a cord, we're actually just going to cut this off and we're going to use it. Give it the big old cut, pop that bad boy out, pull out the two connecting wires. You want to grab your Romax connector, take a pair of channel locks, some kind of pliers here, tighten this down. You're going to want to separate the wires. Separated. To go more now, you could just pull it, kind of like a twizzler, perfect. The ridge side is connecting to the white to the neutral.
