How to replace a garbage disposal STEP by STEP instruction!
What happens here
Now, connect the remaining plumbing. First, re-attach the dishwasher drain line to the disposal's dishwasher inlet, securing it with the worm clamp and tightening it with your 6-in-1 screwdriver. Next, prepare the main discharge tube. If the new disposal is a different size than the old one, you may need to cut the plastic tube to the appropriate length. Take the rubber gasket provided with the new disposal and insert it into the disposal's discharge opening. Now, assemble the main discharge tube by sliding on the flange connector, then the large nut, and finally the washer onto the tube. Position the discharge tube to connect the disposal to the main drainpipe. Once everything is aligned, hand-tighten the nuts and then use your 6-in-1 screwdriver (flathead) to tighten them further, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening. After all plumbing is connected, plug the garbage disposal into the electrical outlet. The installation is now complete, and the unit is ready for testing.
Goal: Complete all plumbing connections for the new disposal
