Very informative! I'm a widow and dealing with a old garbage disposal that stopped working. I'm going to use your video to remove & replumb the lines! Thank you for being thorough 😊
Just what I needed! I absolutely DESPISE garbage disposals and since ours is leaking, it's gotta go and I don't want another one! My husband thinks that I'm insane for not wanting one, but he also doesnt wash dishes to see what I see clogging up these sinks. Im going for the entire replumbing and removal myself, thanks to you! Much success on your channel!
I got rid of mine years ago. I never really used it and only turned it on to see if it worked! I added a double screen basket strainer in both sinks to minimize anything that goes down the drain.
@@TheHandyJeff my GF's kitchen sink used to always get backed up. She cooks a lot and had to call out the plumber a lot to clean out the drain pipe. The plumber would have to send a snake about 75-100 feet to clean it out. She stopped using her disposal often and has yet to call the plumber to clear out the drain pipe.
@@2-old-Forthischet some of that plumbers drain opener that comes in a bag is a god send for this kind of thing. Unless it’s damaged underground in the basement then it would need replaced.
@@TheHandyJeff Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Oh I "tapped it" with a hammer all right. LOL. It is decades old and it looks like putty (meaning its not epoxy, krazy glue, or welded) so I will just keep at it.
@@sosllc hope it is just putty. I’ve had to replace sinks because I can’t get it to come out. You can always grab with a large pair of channel locks and twist
Thanks! Very helpful explanation & directions! I am replacing a broken disposal with a sink strainer/basket. Have done other plumbing such as replace stem valves, but this seems more difficult. The details are helpful when one is trying to get the right parts and know enough buzzwords to use in the store. One question, what flashlight are you using? Very helpful with the stand instead of trying to hold with the 3rd hand that we don't have. I must have got a weird strainer cause none of the faucet tools fit into it (to keep it from turning when attaching it)?! I subscribed...
Also wanted to comment about the explanation of the flanged downpipe with dishwasher branch. There are only two hardware shops where I live and they don't carry that, so knowing the proper/best part is important. There is a local contractor-only store that kindly sold me that part...
Hey! Using the channel locks to remove the plastic collar from the bottom of sink: first test was with your hand and you tried spinning the collar to the left: correct direction. Next you attached the channel locks but tried spinning them to the right: that was tightening!!! Then you used sawzall.
If you replace your pipes for the love of god do 2 individual sides not the stupid T connector this is done for some reason because everyone is lazy and cheap this is by far the second most atrocious along with....did it just get cold in here? Accordion pipes
No please why are you doing this removing the Garbage Disposal. I am very upset. I use this for my food scraps. There is nothing wrong with having a Garbage Disposal under the kitchen sink it eliminates food waste from going into the trash, pests and for sanitary reasons. Will this change your mind to reinstall it to install it back in.
Thank you. This was the exact video I needed.
That’s what I’m talking about!

@@tinat702 I believe in you and I try to teach as if it’s from the basics with my own little twist,
Come back and let me know how it goes!
HUGE THANK YOU! I had some struggles with the fernco bit, but I just watched your video a couple more times and got it figured out. Thank you again!
@tinat702 that’s great hear! You’re welcome!

You are so welcome!
Thank you for zooming on the snap ring! Great video!
Subscribed. You finally made something clear to me after watching 3 videos on the same topic. You're a great teacher.
Well thank you! I appreciate that!

Honestly that’s where I’m at and you’re more likely to throw stuff down the drain with one and that’s not good for anyone.

Great video man very helpful. Thank you!
Cool 😎
Thanks , very informative brotha. I will subscribe have a great day
The flange that is puttied in doesn't just come out of the sink. How do you actually do it
After you’ve removed the spring clip it will come out, if it’s been in there a long time you might need to tap it with a hammer

My flashlight is a M18 Milwaukee flashlight. It’s super helpful and I use it pretty much everyday! Thanks for the sub I appreciate you!
Good video. Try reducing the UN-necessary noise down to a minimum level. Which will make watching and listening better.
Ok thanks! I appreciate you!

What’s your reasoning for not liking a regular end outlet waste?

I mean I’m not telling you that you have to remove yours. But if you have an old cast iron drain system it helps eat away at the inside of your pipes.
Composting does the same thing 🤷🏻♂️
No Garbage Disposal is a lot better.
@@KristinCampanara definitely not if you have septic.
@heidisnow or old cast iron pipes
