Master plumber for 29 years in Florida , I usually use a flanged tail piece ran horizontally off the disposal, I give it a slight amount of fall coming back to my tee to aide the food particles make it to the trap & prevent stoppages. Today a customer had pulled a 2 compartment sink 8” deep, & replaced it with an under mount 10” deep single compartment sink and they had a disposal. I had to use the 90 in that particular application & almost didn’t have enough room to get everything connected because of the sanitary tee inside the wall was roughed in unusually high for some reason. Anyways I got it done without opening the wall & customer was pleased at the end of the day so that’s all that really matters to me.
I always preferred using the tailpiece going across to the regular basket side. I seen in the thumbnail you had it a way that I thought was strange. I’m glad I watched this video. From now on anytime this option is possible based on the positioning of the stub out, I will do this.
My lord Roger you're the man!! I would have never guessed that I needed to make a hole for the dish washer to drain none of the videos that I saw mentioned that, I was trying literally everything to make the dish washer drain again, little did I know that the solution was to watch this video you save the day again! Thank you the best plumbing channel! 🤙
I didn't read the full instructions on dishwasher usage. 3x dishwasher backed up into itself. Until i realized, the disposal has a punchout for the dishwasher. The tube can be connected without punching that hole (which is what i did). Before 3 loads, then looked at instructions for the punch out.. *face palm* (i have many FP moments.. 😂)
Thank you for the lesson! This worked great for me. I was able to get rid of the jumbled previous homeowner special. Only difficulty I had was my drain pipe was mounted much higher than yours so I had to modify the downspout from the disposal and the p trap.
Your the man Roger, ive watched lots of your videos. I swear that we were trained by the same plumber coming up. Ive started using a product called skin tight its blue on all my disposals, pop-ups, tub/shower drains etc. The good thing about this product is you can get it things loose if you ever have to take it apart again unlike pure silcone. I still use putty under the faucet. I have found the putty will break down and wash out over time. Food for though brother. Doesnt matter how long you have been plumbing you never stop learning, keep the video's coming..
When mounting the disposal that Allen wrench (you used to explain how to unjam the disposal) works great to tighten it in place as well. I keep a couple in my toolbag and even one in my work vehicle for those disposal calls.
Roger, I’m 24 and my girl needed some work done on her sink, little to say I came in and got the job done thanks to your video. Now I’m reaping many benefits this evening when I get to bed. You’re a legend
@@RogerWakefieldhey brother, how does food pass through and out of a P-trap..? It just rises upwards with the water... lol, that seems like the most difficult process. Can you share another video with see-through piping, and demonstrate how the garbage disposal or food in general act once passing through a P-trap? Thanks!
Hey buddy I don't care what anyone else said I think ur video was excellent and it helped me immensely! The only problem I had was the previous "plumber" ( I use this word lightly when referring to mine lol ) had the dishwasher drain hose connected to the pipe coming down from the other side of the sink from ware the disposal was and when I removed all the PVC pipes they were packed solid with crud and was a helluva mess to clean but ur video was excellently done and I couldn't of done it without ur help so I just wanted to thank u and lyk that I appreciated ur video. My girl was thrilled with me and her new disposal and the price I charged her lmao. Thanks again!
I see where your way of piping gives a little more ability to line up with the trap adapter also . I use a catch pan and tubular cutter made by Rigid to cut my lines ,, leaves them bur free,, and makes straight cuts ,, after all not a lot of space in the hubs I want as much contact as possible I also now only use the blue rubber washers ,, I’ve seen too many plastic ones break or bind then become loose again a few days later
Quik tip, best to leave lok nut on the romex connector and use it as a jam nut, especially if you have to install the cord after the plumber has installed the disposal. That way you can stop the clamping screws in a direction where they are easy to access. Example, thread the body of the clamp only enough to have a good start, then using a screwdriver tap on lok nut lugs to tighten while holding clamping screws in the position where you want them.😎
@@tristinswain Never seen that happen personally, but I'm also not a plumber, unless central vacuums count. Well, I did see the aftermath of someone putting as whole bag of stale pretzels down the disposer, ir projectile vomited out the standpipe for the DW... I put everything down mine, but its usually wet stuff, dry stale stuff won't stink in the trash!
my tip would be to add the old garbage disposal (assuming you have the old one) into the box of the new garage disposal as weight onto the topside of the sink to keep the strainer for moving. The snap ring is not that easy to put in when working with an actual kitchen cabinet - your not going to have that reach around per this video. The weight will keep the strainer from popping up prematurely. #2 tip the garbage disposal jam buster wrench to unclog the GB is actually used to lock the flange nut 16:01 fits in perfectly no need for channel locks or screw driver. #3 the plastic slip nut washers are junk wouldn't not recommend utilize rubber slip nut washers- good brand is oatey
I actually put the disposal in the box if I’m alone to put the locking ring on the saddle! But if I have a helper or someone is available I’ll have them hold the strainer down ..
Master plumber since 99, plumbing since 91 I put the tee on the basket strainer side. See how hard water is blown out of a running disposal? Like a pump sort of... yeah, I'm not worried about any solids in that horizontal. Any solids that sticky are gonna be a problem in the next horizontal or the base of a stack or a dang short turn fitting downstream. Tee under the strainer leaves more space for the customers junk. Is there ever stuff under the sink when you do a service call? Always right? And when drains, especially slip joint drain piping with long pieces ( lots of leverage ) are where all that junk goes... pieces get pushed around more, joints get loosened. I like to leave more room for their junk and less pipe in shorter pieces that are more difficult to loosen due to occassionally being knocked around by the detergent bottles. Not criticizing your style, these are just MY observations.
I always learn from your videos! Thanks for this one. I am needing to make room for a trash can tray with a double sink. If I use a 45° adapter will that impede drainage from the strainer side? Also if such a part doesn’t exist should I purchase 2 45° fittings and rock on? Thanks again. I owe you for the countless times you helped this amateur! Lol
Sweet Roger good job and she’ll float for sure. BUT 😂 ida put my tailpiece extension in the disposal then trap it on the other side. thanks for sharing
I just did this at my house two separate connections going into the wall for each drain . I did not put plumbers putty around the faucet though.. should I take it out and re do that ? Just used the plastic piece and some clear caulk around the top of it.
I’m here today, funny enough, because the handyman I hired who charged $400 to install my garbage disposable (yes, disposal and tools were supplied to him), didn’t align the “insinkerator” straight and it drove me batshite! I had to learn to fix that or I’d have to move. Thanks for this great info!
Roger, the one thing I could never understand is the fiber, or as I call them, cardboard washer on the basket strainer. I've always used them, but they go on after the rubber washer. What the heck is the use of having them. Again, I always put them on, just don't understand, what good are they? The rubber washer alone is going to seal. It's not like the fiber washer is rigid enough to keep the rubber washer flat or anything.
I love when that happens, i get to tell the owners that the cabinet needs to be ripped out and that i have to re plumb the drain in the wall and get paid more money
@@jacobkindsvatter4055 Yeah I wish more people would plumb kitchen sink drains at 14” O.F.F., but also when it’s to high, hell yes I get excited to. MORE WORK!
perfect roger my only advice i dont use a saw to cut the pvc home depot sells a milwaukee tubing cutter specifically for this application it also bevels the pipe😀
Roger, I lost both parents 1 month from each other this year due to COVID complications. I saved this video to a playlist so when I replace the kitchen faucet and/or sink I have the proper knowledge of what to do. Lost dad on 9/16/2021 and mom 10/16/2021.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are doing the right thing by saving any videos that will help you do the things you parents can no longer do. They would be very proud of you Freedomcat!!! Peace and love
Thank you so much for helping me install a sink, disposal with dishwasher connection. I was so confused about the washers and how to connect a non threaded pipe to a threaded pipe. And why doesn't anything explain the 2 types of washers? I wish you'd explained them. My washer just slid around on my pipe. Come to find out, my Handyman Store sold me an old piping kit, the washers were dried out, they were hard with no "rubberiness". Could you dumb down just a wee bit for those of us who now find themselves financially tight and now need to make our own repairs? Thank you.
This video provided a lot of useful information that I will use on my sink replacement. The one variance I have from the video is my sink is going from two drains to one drain. The single drain will have a garbage disposer and a dishwasher hooked to it. The single drain is on the right side of the sink. The outlet pipe in the wall is on the left side. The person who installed the sink has the bridge going straight out the disposer on the right to the basket drain on the left that has the P trap leading through the wall. Based on this video I need to have the pipe from the disposer angle down at 90 degrees first, then the p trap and from the p trap a bridge to the outlet on the left side. Am I correct? Did I even make sense? Sorry I am new to plumbing.
In some places your not allowed to hook the dishwasher directly to the disposal so check 1st before you bust out the knockout.A dishwasher tailpiece is whats used in stead and has a protusion on it to connect your dishwasher to commonly used on the vertical but also can be installed on the horizontal in a pinch
I'm right now in the Process of changing the horizontal from the disposal to a 90. Seems the horizontal way keeps clogging the chopper on the diswasher.
I have a basin wrench but it was useless for removing the old fixture due to corrosion. But with a little bit of breakage it give me enough room up top to sawzall through the bolt
I'm watching this very helpful video because I want a disposal in my 1959 home and the sink and pipe set up is exactly the same as shown here except one thing, the dishwasher is already installed and the hose goes to the straight pipe going down on the right. I wonder if it is ok to leave it and not connect to the disposal or if not, can the connection on the side be capped or should that section be replaced?
😂 There's an oring on that drain. Took me watching THIS video to realize that. I was wondering WHY it wouldn't disconnect, and HOW the original was put on.. , somethings gotta give, lol.. the ORING.. jesus. *face palm* Once i removed oring.. BAM comes right apart. THank you!! Lesson WELL receieved!! I played w drain before knew about oring for about 15min, no progress. Once watched this, oring was off within 3 seconds. Wow.
New installation, added large single deep sink in kitchen and single handle pullout sprayer faucet, new quartz countertops, and disposer. Drain in wall is about 2” higher than disposer drain, how do you hook this up? PS: An old friend is a plumber, his specialty was high rise drains, he’s retired. I worked on this for 3 hours and it leaked. He needed something and we met at my condo (rental unit I own). In 15 minutes he got it down, comments, please.
Roger I love your videos. I have a question. I’m trying to replace the drain pipes under a kitchen sink and having a hard time getting everything to line up. Il try to describe the piping. So I put a new basket strainer and then the new tailpiece that connects to the basket strainer, then the ptrap, the. The elbow that comes off of the back end of the ptrap. Then there is a 45 elbow to a straight piece of pipe then to a tailpiece that goes into the drain in the wall but that last tail piece is also at a 45. My problem is where that first 45 elbow comes in trying to get those two pipes to alight at a correct angle. This was how it was piped before and I’m just replacing it as it was leaking. Hope there’s some trick to knowing how long each piece needs to be so the angles align correctly? I remember in high school math class our teacher told us there’s a math formula for figure out plumbing angles.
Roger, what do I do if my disposal is on the right side, but the drain exits on the left side of the cabinet area (more closely aligned with the drain side of the sink? Will I have trouble with food collecting in the pipes?
Since my drain is on the right side of my duel sink and my disposal is on the left side I have to run my pvc pipe horizontally across and run my ptrap under the ride side of the sink. If my drain was on the left side I would have followed your recommendations.
I'm new and confused about the sizing that the pipes have to be underneath sinks. Are kitchen sinks always 1-1/2 inch while restroom sinks are always 1-1/4 inch? Is every strainer the same size or are there different sizes? Sometimes the tailpiece is a different size than the rest of the tubing. Why is that?
Roger everything looks great, until you use that cheap plastic screw together drain pipe.? Yes I know you use it to get more work in the future, because it is definitely going to leak... maybe not now, but it will leak... (planned obsolescence). So why not make a PVC drain system? You know its a solid no leak drain?
me and my dad had to plum our kitchen sink because our copper pipe eroded. we just bought the attachments and PVC pipe. we measured then cut then attached the attachments to the pipes then we put them together and in the end it worked out alright.
Roger I have only done basic plumbing work around the house such as switching out sinks, pipes, drains etc and you are an inspiration, I hope to one day have a skillset as good as yours!
@ROGER WAKEFIELD. HOW DO YOU PLAN ON PUTTING THE WATER LINES ON AND THEN PUTTING THE MOUNTING NUT ON THE MOUNTING NUT WILL NOT GO OVER THE WIDTH OF THE WATER LINE
As a plumber I disagree with this step up. I think the tailpiece going to the tee looks more professional. Disposal on the other bowl and a disposal end waste kit…. It keeps your pipes high and tight which can help if the new sink is deeper, and give the customer more cabinets space. Also I haven’t noticed that much of a difference in food build up with the tailpiece vs the 90. And I hook up waterline first so the drains pipes aren’t in my way and with the faucet off I turn the valves so I ca verify no leaks easier…
This video is exactly what I am looking for but unfortunately I do not understand the part you mention at 1730. The baffilin!!? How can I go to Home Depot and explain what I need? Regardless, this is an excellent tutorial on installing a trash disposal!!!
Hello! It is actually called a Baffle T, not a baffilin. And when you go to Home Depot, you just want to ask for a Garbage Disposal Drain Kit. It should have everything you need to build your drain. 😊

One thing I've noticed, here in Colorado they tend to put a standpipe under the sink for the dishwasher rather than draining it into the disposer.
Especially in the newer homes in Denver which is annoying when there is a clog and it floods the cabinets

I'm watching this very helpful video because I want a disposal in my 1959 home and the sink and pipe set up is exactly the same as shown here except one thing, the dishwasher is already installed and the hose goes to the straight pipe going down on the right. I wonder if it is ok to leave it and not connect to the disposal or if not, can the connection on the side be capped or should that section be replaced?
Thank you so much !
That tool you showed for un jamming also can be used to tighten the flange
Do you have a video on 2 drain sink replacing with a one drain sink , garbage disposal and dishwasher hook up ?
Hell yeah brother
I only use the straight piece when there’s very little room for the Ptrap
I'm just mentally stumped at Roger calling it a "DisposALL"
I know. Usually customers say that, and he called the faucet a sink like customers lol
Maybe it’s a Texas thing because that’s what I’ve always called it.
Im not sure how to turn the drain to the floor instead of the wall?
Great info.
Thank you for the video
Hello. Nice instruction video. Is there a kit you used that includes all the pvc pipes necessary to install the plumbing? Thanks.
😂 There's an oring on that drain. Took me watching THIS video to realize that. I was wondering WHY it wouldn't disconnect, and HOW the original was put on.. , somethings gotta give, lol.. the ORING.. jesus. *face palm* Once i removed oring.. BAM comes right apart. THank you!! Lesson WELL receieved!! I played w drain before knew about oring for about 15min, no progress. Once watched this, oring was off within 3 seconds. Wow.
I like to do the piping in the kitchen sink in the same way…..often though I will use pvc instead of a kitchen kit to install the drainage.
You are trippin'. The faucet nuts will not go over the supply line fittings. You cannot install a faucet with supply lines already connected.
Can a Y-ee be substituted for the T?
New installation, added large single deep sink in kitchen and single handle pullout sprayer faucet, new quartz countertops, and disposer. Drain in wall is about 2” higher than disposer drain, how do you hook this up?
PS: An old friend is a plumber, his specialty was high rise drains, he’s retired. I worked on this for 3 hours and it leaked. He needed something and we met at my condo (rental unit I own). In 15 minutes he got it down, comments, please.
Excellent
Hello, do you recommend the p traps sold as a pack or get them individually with in the pvc section?
Roger I love your videos. I have a question. I’m trying to replace the drain pipes under a kitchen sink and having a hard time getting everything to line up. Il try to describe the piping. So I put a new basket strainer and then the new tailpiece that connects to the basket strainer, then the ptrap, the. The elbow that comes off of the back end of the ptrap. Then there is a 45 elbow to a straight piece of pipe then to a tailpiece that goes into the drain in the wall but that last tail piece is also at a 45. My problem is where that first 45 elbow comes in trying to get those two pipes to alight at a correct angle. This was how it was piped before and I’m just replacing it as it was leaking. Hope there’s some trick to knowing how long each piece needs to be so the angles align correctly? I remember in high school math class our teacher told us there’s a math formula for figure out plumbing angles.
The power cord needs to be hooked up hot side to the black and neutral side to white
The InSinkErator I got came with a rubber gasket and did not call for plumber's putty. Do you recommend using putty in this situation?
Roger, what do I do if my disposal is on the right side, but the drain exits on the left side of the cabinet area (more closely aligned with the drain side of the sink? Will I have trouble with food collecting in the pipes?
Since my drain is on the right side of my duel sink and my disposal is on the left side I have to run my pvc pipe horizontally across and run my ptrap under the ride side of the sink. If my drain was on the left side I would have followed your recommendations.
I'm new and confused about the sizing that the pipes have to be underneath sinks. Are kitchen sinks always 1-1/2 inch while restroom sinks are always 1-1/4 inch? Is every strainer the same size or are there different sizes? Sometimes the tailpiece is a different size than the rest of the tubing. Why is that?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Back when I was a plumber's apprentice, I learned to install everything but the kitchen sink.

How do you tighten the faucet to the sink if you put lav supplies on first? Answer is you can’t
Roger everything looks great, until you use that cheap plastic screw together drain pipe.? Yes I know you use it to get more work in the future, because it is definitely going to leak... maybe not now, but it will leak... (planned obsolescence). So why not make a PVC drain system? You know its a solid no leak drain?
me and my dad had to plum our kitchen sink because our copper pipe eroded. we just bought the attachments and PVC pipe. we measured then cut then attached the attachments to the pipes then we put them together and in the end it worked out alright.
The way he talks sounds like mix of John Travolta and Christopher Walken .
I forgot to put the fiber washer on, will it be ok? 😫
Roger I have only done basic plumbing work around the house such as switching out sinks, pipes, drains etc and you are an inspiration, I hope to one day have a skillset as good as yours!
You ever read that green tag that comes on new facuts?
@ROGER WAKEFIELD.
HOW DO YOU PLAN ON PUTTING THE WATER LINES ON AND THEN PUTTING THE MOUNTING NUT ON THE MOUNTING NUT WILL NOT GO OVER THE WIDTH OF THE WATER LINE
As a plumber I disagree with this step up. I think the tailpiece going to the tee looks more professional. Disposal on the other bowl and a disposal end waste kit…. It keeps your pipes high and tight which can help if the new sink is deeper, and give the customer more cabinets space.
Also I haven’t noticed that much of a difference in food build up with the tailpiece vs the 90.
And I hook up waterline first so the drains pipes aren’t in my way and with the faucet off I turn the valves so I ca verify no leaks easier…
Damn, people! I was the 69th viewer!!!!!
What’s behind that door!?
MOST CODES DON’T ALLOW TRAP ADAPTERS AFTER P-TRAPS GOING TO DRAIN LINE.
This video is exactly what I am looking for but unfortunately I do not understand the part you mention at 1730. The baffilin!!? How can I go to Home Depot and explain what I need? Regardless, this is an excellent tutorial on installing a trash disposal!!!
Hello! It is actually called a Baffle T, not a baffilin. And when you go to Home Depot, you just want to ask for a Garbage Disposal Drain Kit. It should have everything you need to build your drain. 😊
Our sink has a p-trap on each bowl. One of them is one of those loop-de-loop gizmos. I have no idea what is going on.
