How to replace a garbage disposal STEP by STEP instruction!
What happens here
The video introduces the project: installing an InSinkErator Badger 15SS garbage disposal, which features stainless steel components and a 3/4 horsepower motor. The necessary materials include the disposal unit itself, a separate electrical cord (as most models don't include one), the mounting flange that comes with the disposal, and plumber's putty (Sta-Put brand is shown). Essential tools are a 6-in-1 screwdriver and a pair of large channel locks (specifically 440s are recommended for secure installation). The presenter emphasizes the importance of using channel locks to prevent the disposal from detaching.
Goal: Gather necessary tools and materials and understand the project scope
