How to install a faucet and reinstall garbage disposal for countertop replacement
What happens here
Working underneath the sink, gather the various components of the disposal mounting assembly: the fiber gasket, metal backup ring, mounting ring, and the thin metal snap ring. The presenter advises to first straighten the snap ring if it has been bent during previous removal. Stack the components in the correct order: first the fiber gasket, then the metal backup ring, and finally the mounting ring. Slide this stack onto the underside of the disposal flange that's already in the sink. Next, carefully insert the snap ring into the groove on the flange, ensuring it clicks securely into place. This can be a bit tricky and may require wiggling the assembly to create enough slack. Once the snap ring is in place, tighten the three mounting bolts on the mounting ring evenly using a large flathead screwdriver. Tighten each bolt a little at a time, moving in a circular pattern, until the assembly is snug and secure. Remove any excess plumber's putty that squeezes out from under the flange on the sink surface.
Goal: This step involves assembling the disposal mounting components underneath the sink and securing them to the installed flange, preparing for the disposal unit attachment.
