This video helped me immensely by giving me a clear picture of what I was getting into for the first time -- very succinct. The cats are great! Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words, Shore Zors! I am so happy to hear that the video was helpful!!! :O)
This video was much easier to understand than the instructions! I bought the red slim-line one American Standard from Costco. We had to reuse the old 'L' pipe cause it wouldn't line up exact. We replaced a 17 year old builder grade Insinkerator. Even tho the new one had the new sink insert, we didn't use it because the old one wasn't leaking. Was able to just twist up the new one! And love the kitties supervising.😻 Thank you again for the great help video!
Glad it worked for you and thank you for the kind words!!! 😊😊😊

Excellent instructions / how-to video! Clear video and great choices of when to speed up or slow down the frame rate. I'm horrible at home projects - this showed me exactly how to replace my broken disposal, and my installation worked first time with no leaks.
Thank you for such nice words, Lew Kendall! Great to hear that the video was helpful and your installation worked well! :))
I'm not a plumber. I'm not even really much of a manly man. But this video was so good I was able to do this in 15 minutes, no leaks, no worries. I can now show it off to my wife like its no big deal, that's just what manly men do. We fix stuff.
Glad it was helpful, Rick! Thank you for leaving such a wonderful comment! :O)
No, we google how, watch video, then fix stuff.
The perfect how-to install video. Direct, accurate, succinct. Thank you for making it.
Hey, Josh! Thank you for such kind words! I am glad you liked the video! 😊😊😊
thanks for this video, helped me uninstall the disposer and found a washer jammed alongside the wall/bottom gap, now it's fixed!
Thank you for commenting! Glad it was helpful! 😊😊😊😊
I always thought I have to replace the flange as well, turn out it doesn't need to, thank to your video, it saves me lots of times.
Thank you for letting me know, Tyler! Great to hear the video was helpful!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
Excellent. I have a broken bradger unit and was planning to buy the same unit so I dont have to deal with any tube routing issues. Glad to see this unit aligning right up and ready to go.
Thank you and good luck with the installation! )
Great video! Clear and to the point. Recently purchased the same model and I'm going to need the straight drain pipe. Off to the home store. Thanks
Thank you for your kind words! Good luck installing your new disposer! 😊😊😊
Bought one second hand and had no idea why it came with a magnet ring. Thanks for the video, really helps me understand the task ahead.
Great to hear from you Payla! Have a smooth installation! 😊😊😊
Great instructions. I just installed it in about 20 minutes.
Thank you for letting me know, Julio! I am glad to hear the video was helpful for you! 😊😊😊😊
just miss the costco sale...excellent video!
Thank you!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
Just picked one up today at Costco. $80
@@bigal95 great deal!!! 😊😊😊
You just sold another one for Costco. They should give you a commission. Thanks for the video. I will refer to it again for installation when it arrives.
Thank you for dropping a word! Yes, they should definitely reward me! 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂
This is an awesome video. I have an exact old model to be replaced by the AS model. Thank you so much!
Great to hear from you, Yu Li! Glad it was helpful!!! 😊😊😊
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and your supervisors were adorable!
Thank you for your nice words, Lauren!!! :))) 💕 👍😍🍷🌺💖📺 🍒💖
I think some of the best how-to vids out there are the ones where not one single word is uttered. Nicely done, and love that you gave the cats some air time ;-) Only thing is, didn't get to see how loud it is when operating. How have you liked it over the last year?
Thank you for the nice words! It is much better than my previous model. I love how it works. Powerful and quiet. My cats used to run away when the old one was on. They do not pay much attention to this one. :))
Fantastic video, thank you for making this. Your cats are also funny!
Thank you for watching and for the nice words! :))
Great video! Thanks. I am looking at purchasing this same unit. Liked the cats, too.
Thanks for watching! )))
I'm having to replace mine and came across your video. While I know it will require a wall outlet for plug in and a switch to turn on and off, which is good for me, would I be able to use this American Standard model if the previous insinkerator appeared to need an electrical wire connection on the underside of the disposal?
Jean-Sebastien Vocal, thank you for visiting! I will not be able to answer your question, may be someone with a professional training will leave a comment to help to answer it. You may also go to a local 'Home Depot' (or similar store) - they always have people working inside who have good knowledge in all kinds of DIY questions.
Pretty much done one handed. Nice job.
Thanks a lot Mr. Vegas!!! :O))
thank you sir. a simple, step by step video. straight to the point. thank you. cute cat.
Thank you, Adam!!! 😊😊😊😊
Great video! The cats are so cute! Thanks!!!
You are so kind! Thank you for the nice words! 😊😊😊😊
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. American Standard should pay you and include a link to your installation video.
Thanks a lot for the kind words, Steve! 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank for video! I just installed it very easily after watching your video.
Glad it helped, Thanh Huynh! Thank you for dropping a line! :)))
Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot. God bless you. I like the kittens.
Thank you for commenting, Dante! Glad it worked out for you!!! Have a good one! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Excellent video!! Not much of a handyman and your video was the path to success! I did the same thing you did and left the old mount on and getting the new one on was a breeze.
Thank you, for the nice words, Tee Song! I'm glad the video was helpful! 😊😊😊
sure helps having the kids there, tanks for sharing
Thank you, Tom!!!
This is my first real home project and I did it with your help!! It looks and sounds great now versus the old 1/2 hp unit. The video was also very well done! Thanks so much! Cute cats too!
Nothing makes me happier than hearing comments like this, Briana! I'm glad it was helpful for you!! :O))) 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Great video! My husband tried for an hour to remove the Costco garbage disposal, amidst much cussing. I found your video and told him to try removing the hose and pipe first, and hitting the 'ear' thingies in the opposite direction. Problem solved! Now he's going to Costco to get a new one, because the old one is making noise, he says. It was always loud but now it's louder. I think he broke it by putting onion skins down it.
Thank you for leaving your comment, Ms Tirrie
! I am glad the video was useful for you! Hope the new one will be as quiet as mine. I really like this new one - it is much more powerful than the one I removed. Good luck with everything! ))
thanks for the video. followed ur instructions and it was easy install...mine made a clunk sound when i switched it o (like some kind of metal stuck) ...but fine later..does this on every startup...is that normal?
Hello Ashika! Thank you for commenting! I am glad to hear you installed it fine. 😊😊😊
Answering your question - mine does produce some kind of a light engaging metal sound but it sounds like a normal thing for any powerful electric motor, so it does not bother me. If it bothers you and you are not sure if that sound is healthy or not, I would definitely call the tech support and ask them this question. It is important to make sure the unit functions properly from the start to avoid any accidents. Hope you resolve it fine!
The metal clicking sound is the impellers swinging into place. That is normal. The permanent magnet motors start at a much higher torque and speed then the old-style induction motors.
@@dsbassoon, thanks for adding your explanation here ))
Excellent use of cat companions in the installation process.
Anna!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
Excellent video. Much easier than the directions. Thanks for posting.
Glad to hear it was helpful, Michael! Thank you for letting me know! 😊😊😊
I sprayed lubricant or even some oil into the disposal & keep it from rust & corroded
Looking to replace 1/3 hp badger with this...wondering if pipes match up with no issues...
Thank you for commenting! Good luck with the installation! )))
Just got one. Is it automatic? No flip switch is needed? And is this one still working well for you?
It is not automatic - you plug it in and use your kitchen switch (if you have one) to turn it on/off. It works perfect for me. I am happy with that. )))
Very helpful. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for letting me know!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
IMPORTANT: The video makes it look like some existing parts were used, like the clamp, sink drain, and drain tube. When possible, use the drain tube and seal that comes in the box. I used the existing one from my old Badger 5. It didn't make a good seal and constantly leaked. Replacing it with the one that came with the unit made my problems go away.
Thank you for your comment, Kasey.
I re-used the drain tube only. The clamp and the dishwasher hose are not the part of the package. In reality the only thing that is 'a must' to be replaced during that installation is a rubber gasket, as old gaskets do get bad and lose their elasticity.
The video shows at 2:11 that the gasket included in the package was removed from the curved black drain tube and immediately installed on the old white drain tube.
Using the old gasket is the only thing that may cause any leakage. But again, it is my own opinion. If, whatever you did helped your issues go away that was the right thing to do!
Thanks again for sharing your experience! )))
@@tetmax You reused the sink drain. It even says Insinkerator. Opposite of what you are saying.
@@BOHICA_ yes, you are correct, but I meant out of the things that were included in the package. There was a new drain tube in the package but I did not see any need in using it - just replaced the gasket. A new sink drain was not included in the package, if there was one included in the box I would install it!
Great video! It helped me so much! 👍
Thank you for leaving your comment, Bobby Nguyen! Always happy to hear the video was helpful! :)))
2:18 to 2:24 were a huge help for us. We were contemplating buying another PVC joint to connect the included pipe to the other sink's pipe. Your video confirmed to me that we could simply remove the gasket from the new pipe and add it to the prexisiting pipe. You saved us additional money and time! Thank you & God bless you! P.s. I'm a guitarist and enjoyed the soundtrack. Is that you on the guitar?
Hello! Thank you for letting me know! Always great to hear the video was helpful. 💖 Yes, it was me on the guitar. 😊😊😊😊😊
@@tetmax Excellent work on all fronts! What kind of guitar did you play for the track? I'm thinking its acoustic but it has a kind of electric ring to it. It's a very relaxing tune. It makes me think on relaxing in the shade on a spring day. Do you have more music available online or elsewhere? I'm mostly a bass player myself. I play it in my church's praise team.
@@windk100 Thank you for complimenting on the guitar sound. It is an acoustic-electric Washburn guitar recorded without mic - just plugged in directly to the sound card.
Glad to hear you play bass, I think it is the most important instrument 😊😊😊😊 - I think it creates the core for everything else in a song. 😊😊😊😊
Yes, I have 3 different bands channels on YT - 2 where I play bass and 1 where I play an electric guitar. You are very welcomed to check them - the links are listed here: th-cam.com/users/tetmaxabout
Max, we hired someone to install our Costco disposal and after seeing your video he never did the part to knock out the plug and connect the hose to the air inlet. After seeing your video I could do that part myself (I think anyways) but the guy we hired must have taken the hose and part where it attaches to the disposal with him. We hired this guy from Thumbtack online, so I don’t know how contact him to find out why he never attached the dishwasher.
Hey Carla! Thanks for sharing your story. I can surely relay to your experience as I started fixing / installing things myself around the house after 2 very bad experiences with hired professionals. Even when I must hire one to do something that requires a license I fully study the issue first so I can understand and control the process so they do their duties as they should. Glad the video helped to identify the issue.
How loud is this model? Also does it seem to last? I’ve been considering picking up this one at Costco now that my kitchen is just about finished.
Hey Jason! I can only compare it to my old model which was way much louder. Also, since it is pretty powerful, it grinds everything much faster and with less effort than my previous model. Add to it a great return policy at Costco and the low price. Those were my main pros to get it.
I love your cats! Also thanks for the tutorial :D
Glad you like them, Adan! Thank you for dropping a line! 😊😊😊😊😊
bought one of these at costco a few years ago. It was great until it started leaking from the bottom. Still looks brand new, ironically. now I have to contact American Standard and get them to fix it in warranty.
Hello, Lambert J.! Thanks for commenting! If you did purchase it at Costco - I would recommend you to bring it straight back to them and they will refund you everything without any receipt. However if you not going that path for any reasons, it would be great to hear back if American Standard fixes it for you or not. Please share your story later if you do not mind. Good luck, regardless! :))
Question. Did you reinstall the black rubber piece that goes in the sink?
Thank you for visiting, Gary. Everything I did is shown in the video. I did not skip anything, so the answer is no.
@@tetmax Thank you! Your video was perfect...
Thank you, Gary.
Very helpful. I appreciate it.
Thank you, Joe! )))
When he gets to 3:25 the instructions that came with the unit says to attach the lower ring to the upper rings by turning it counterclockwise. No wonder I could not get it attached.
Hi I'm new to the disposer. Just wondering how to turn it on and off? Does it require a wall switch?
Hello! Yes, it does require a wall switch.
Do you have the slimline version of this and does it differ in installation?
Hello, Gui Ewwy! No, the only version I have is the one shown in the video.
Did you borrow my cat Blake to star in your TH-cam video? I would swear that is her if she wasn't right here at home. I thought she was one of a kind but apparently she has a twin.
Thank you for the video. I thoight replacing a garbage disposal was much more complicated but this looks very doable by me.
Glad the video can be helpful to you! Say 'Hi' to your dear Blake!!! 😊😊😊😊
I have Kenmore 60514. Will I need to reconfigure my hoses to fit the American standard disposal?
I was able to use my old hoses and think they all must be pretty standard, but even if it is not your case it will not be a big deal to make a proper connection with a help of a salesman consultant at any plumber store.
simple video. ima try. : )
Thank you! Great to hear from you!!! 😊😊😊😊
What if there is no plug under the sink but you have an existing power cord coming from the wall?
There are 2 ways to do it:
1. Install an outlet and plug in the disposer.
2. Cut off the disposer plug and connect wires from the disposer and those coming from the wall together using electrical wire connectors.
These are having in mind there is a turn on/off switch that powers the wall wire.
This could be on Animal Planet show! Thanks for sharing

How to installed the magnetic block protrusion inside
Hello. It is shown at th-cam.com/video/Nb7i6CwUlT4/w-d-xo.html
or 4:37 of the video time.
Good luck! :)))
So my handyman picked up this unit and installed it. The problem is that the rubber gasket will not allow water to drain down. I literally have to hold it open. Is this a problem for anyone?
Hello Leisa! Thanks for visiting. Yes, it was the case with my unit as well. I had to remove the gasket when running water in the beginning of using the unit while placing it back when grinding so there were no splashes out. But in a few weeks, after you push the waste down all the time, the rubber opened up a bit and now it is perfectly fine - enough for the water to run trough and no splashes. Just give it some time and it will get OK very soon.
@@tetmax thank you! I found another slightly more aggressive solution which was to trim the holes slightly with scissors! Worked great.
@@leisaodom-kurtz7524 great solution - and very simple!!! ))))
Did you replace a badger 5 with this incinerator from costco?
I do not remember, but looking at the video it looks like 'Badger 1'.
I just installed my Costco but now there is a very slow drip coming from the bottom. What should I do?
Sounds like one of the pipes is not connected well. I would recheck all the conjunctions and would try to trace where exactly the water is leaking from.
HI boss I just got one of those but I just found out my old one is hard wired, is there a way to hard wire this new one? Thanks
Hello, what do you mean by hardwired? There is no plug in or what?
@@tetmax no plug, just a wire that comes from the wall and it is connected to the old disposal
I see. Yes, there are 3 possible ways to do it. But you need to know how to be safe during that kinda work and I cannot give an advice via comments here for that reason. Try to search for a video or text instructions of people who did that particular work and follow their steps if you feel they are safe and you understand what they are doing. Good luck!
Thanks
Nikki Black, you're very welcome!
I have this model in my house, it was installed by the previous owners...not sure how long ago. The sink is backing up and the disposal is dripping slowly from the connection to the sink down to the bottom of the disposal....talking to my dad, a very handy guy, he assured me that there should be a hole on the bottom of the unit that I can use an Allen Wrench and turn....this unit has no hole. He doesn't believe me haha. Any tips? I checked the p-trap and its clear. HELP PLEASE! :)
Hello Deidre! Sorry to hear about your problem. Honestly, I did not understand what the problem exactly was. Is that that the connection between the sink and the disposal is not good and it is leaking or is it something else?
the allen wrench trick is to help when the unit seizes and won't turn. It's common to see a hex hole on the underside of many garbage disposals but not this model. It's also not relevant to your issue. Was possibly installed without plumbers putty or gasket isn't seated correctly between drain pipe and unit.
hi, where is the turn on or turn off switch?
Hi Andy, the switch does not exist on the actual unit itself. There must be a separate light like switch somewhere in the kitchen that turns on /off electricity that flows towards the electric outlet where the unit plugged in. Normally that switch is located far away from the sink so you cannot have one of your hands inside the sink and be able to reach that switch and damage yourself.
@@tetmax thank you
how do you switch ie on/off?
Hello, Manar! There is no switch on the disposer. You need to plug it in an outlet that is powered by a wall switch.
Здорово!!!
Спасибо! :)))
Sadly this unit is half a centimeter larger than my old badger and not having an adjustable drain pipe means I’m going to have to shave some off the end of the pipe to make the unit line up with the sink hole.
Hello! Thank you for commenting, Megan. Sorry to hear that the disposer does not fit properly. Costco has a great return policy. Why don't you just return the disposer and get the one that fits perfectly under your sink?
That is not uncommon. The slip tube drain usually has a range of of about 1.5 inches you can have where it still seals. It doesn't have to butt against the edge of the other drain pipe.
Does it " need " elbow?
Hello. I am not sure exactly how to answer that. I showed the whole process in the video and included the diagram at 0:25. Hope that helps.
Easiest receipt for mashed potatoes!!!
Ha-ha! Yes! You are 100% right!!! :))

I hate to see "American Standard" stamped onto that product. It appears to be the same generic China disposal that "GE Disposall" is now stamped onto.
I noticed when you travel and go to any souvenir shop around the world they all have different "authentic" souvenirs supposedly related only to that country, state, city, culture... etc. - but you turn it around and read on the back 'made in China' 😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@tetmax Indeed! Next time can just order them on eBay for less money and maybe they'll be in the mailbox upon return!
😭😊😭😊😭😊😭😊
The music over the sound of the disposal was not cool. That’s the main reason I was watching
I need to get a cat, my dogs are no help at all!
Yes, cats are generally much more helpful for those kind of issues!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
You skipped half of the install. How does it connect to the sink?
Thank you for asking, Nicholas. In fact I did not skip a step and showed the whole process of it as it was in real life. I showed everything that was inside the package and I showed the process of removing the old disposer and installed the new one instead. I am sure there are plenty of other videos on youtube where they show the installation of the disposer on the sink that did not have an old disposer on it. Just search for those! My video shows how I did it in my house every single step was filmed. Good Luck!
@@tetmax It's possible Nicolas was adding a disposal to a sink that did not have one already in it or replacing a model that did not have the handy Insinkerator flange.
I found discounted tool links for every tool you'll need for this install in the "Show More" field of another video. Some of the discounts are actually for Milwaukee tools!!
I spent about six hours today deal hunting and came upon these. I hope this helps saves time and money for you.
Mine didn't come with a pet.
Glorioskey! 😊😊😊😊😊
It dies on me after 4 years.
You were not lucky, but if you got it from Costco you can bring it back for a full refund.
