Install and Secure the New Disposal Unit

What happens here

Carefully lift the wired garbage disposal unit and align the three mounting tabs on top of the disposal with the corresponding slots on the mounting ring under the sink. Twist the disposal unit until it locks into place in the mounting ring. You should feel it seat securely. However, the unit will still have a slight gap and be able to move a bit. To fully secure it, take your channel locks and place one jaw on the stationary part of the mounting ring and the other jaw on the movable tab of the mounting ring. Squeeze the channel locks firmly. This action will compress the mounting ring, eliminating any gap between the disposal and the sink, creating a tight and leak-proof seal. This final squeeze prevents the disposal from falling off and ensures a proper installation. After this, the disposal should not move when tugged on, and there should be no visible gap.

Goal: Mount the new disposal unit securely to the sink flange assembly
