Please make sure you wire your disposal plug correctly. Here is a video if you need some help. Thank you for Watching! th-cam.com/video/qxZVFtRt-zU/w-d-xo.html
As a 17 year old girl who has never changed out a disposal, i was able to help out my parents and change the garbage disposal easily with this video! thank you so much it was very very helpful!
Thanks for sharing this! I'm so happy this worked out for you and your family. I love that you got in there and got this done. I hope we can help again. Would you be will to share this video on your social media. Comments like your will help our channel grow! Thank you for watching!
@Andrea Garcia I work with a female plumber and she is awesome! Also I once walked my mom through soldering a leak on a water pipe over the phone! It’s all about learning the process.
I'm an old diy guy that learned plumbing in the 1960s I learn little fixes and details from you I never thought about... you are a good teacher thanks so much
I had lots of folks doubting I could do this by myself, and holy cow - you made it so easy. I am over the moon proud of myself. Thanks for your help today.
I just read your comment again and had to heart it! Great job. I'm proud of you as well. We can all do hard things. So glad I could help you learn something new.
My wife does all types of stuff she doubts she can do. She does her best most the time it turns out better than if I did it. She’s more patient than me and doesn’t hurry 🤣
Dido, I installed my garage disposal today. This tutorial is fantastic, accurate, and incredible easy to follow. You can literally listen to the instructions and pause the video to complete the step, until the task is done!!
Dude you rock! I clicked on six crappy install videos and then I finally found yours and I am right on track! THIS IS HOW YOU DO AN INSTALL VIDEO!!!!!!
Thank you for a good video on replacing a garbage disposal unit. One thing to note in this video. When wiring the cord to the disposal unit it does matter which disposal wire connects to which cord wire. On the cord wire "jacket" one side has a rib or a stripe. The corresponding wire is to be connected to the white wire in the disposal. This assures the neutral and hot wires are wired correctly internally to the motor. Although the unit will operate, either way, this has to do with internal electrical insulation for personal safety. Thanks again from a retired union electrician.
Thank you Wally I did shot another video talking about installing the cord. and will pin it to the video. I also removed that part of the video. I ain't trying to mess nobody up when the video has helped so many people. Thanks Again
Thank you so much for this video! I am a military spouse, and my husband has been gone for the last two months for a deployment training. I was able to install our garbage disposal all by myself because of your video!
I love hearing this! I have so much respect for military spouses. I recently helped my cousin make a water line repair while her husband was out to sea. This is a big reason I love making TH-cam videos! I hope we can help again.
This video is amazing!!! I only had a problem getting my old disposal off due to rust. As an independent 54 year old female....I will look for all of your DIY tutorials.....hardly any cussing on my part!! Thank you!!!
Super easy to understand directions. Thank you! I’m a 53 year old lady living alone in a fixer upper and my disposal just came off one day!! I’ll be sure to tighten it the right way. THANK YOU! 🙂🩵
Done a ton of DIY via TH-cam tutorials, and this has to be one of the top tier videos I've seen. Simple and concise and excellent shots from the angle your head would be seeing it!
I was able to change my garbage disposal today while my husband was away at work by watching your video. Thanks for posting things like this. From a women who lost her dad when she was young, these are so helpful!
When I realized I needed a new disposal my gut reaction was to call a plumber. But I decided to see if I could do it myself by looking for a good TH-cam how-to video. I found it with this video! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you going through such detail. I did exactly what you did every step of the way and it all worked out perfectly. You saved me a couple hundred dollars! A big thanks for a very well made video and explanation.
Thank you amigo unemployed father of three and saw this video I did it thanks to you 🎉 Other videos even company videos missed the electrical connection and you did it in detail like a surgeon! Many thanks and may God bless you and your family
Incredible tutorial that worked perfectly for my American standard disposal from Costco. Nearly every step was exactly accurate for my model. I’ve seen countless tutorials on diy, electronics, software, painting, you name it, and I don’t think I’ve had a better experience with a single video. Thank you
Thank you yes, you explain yourself very well ,I learned how to install a Garbage disposaland . And l saved a lot of money thanks to you my friend ,And God bless you my brother with more talents .God is good, Aman.
My garbage disposal decided to shart the bed last night, flooded my kitchen, determined it was leaking from the bottom and all the FAQ's state to replace. This will help me out a ton thank you!
You just saved my sanity by making one of the most instructive and clear ways to install this unit! It went on just as you instructed and the tip about the snap ring was great! Thank you very much for making and taking the time to make these videos!
Hello, great easy to follow, informative garbage disposal replacement tutorial. At 9:45 in the video you say it doesn't matter which way you wire. The cord you are using has 2 black wires, one had ridges, the other is smooth. The wire with ridges is the "hot" and should be connected to the colored or striped wire in the disposal. The smooth is the "neutral" and is connected to the white wire. Incorrect wiring may cause an unsafe condition.
Awesome, I did it with no leaks. I would recommend that people watch this a couple times and then on the third time watch each step, pause the video and complete the step. You made this very very easy. Thank you so much
Excellent garbage disposal install/replacement tutorial. Great videography with well defined shots. Clear and understandable speech. Very thorough and the gold standard for similar tutorials. A+ and thank you for your help.
I've been installing disposals since before I even knew what their purpose was. I'm pretty much the go-to guy in disposal installation. I thought I knew it all. That is until I watched this video. I just upped my game to new levels after this most informative demonstration and as a 83 year old grandmother I tend to get some looks when I show up to do an install. Never Again! THANK YOU Mr GDInstall man!!!
I have only become a DIYer over the last 3 years or so and have relied heavily on the good people on TH-cam to share your knowledge. This was by far the most complete, easy-to-follow video I've used yet. You made the installation so easy that I thought for sure I would have leaks or a smoking disposal or something catastrophic when I tested it. Low and behold... everything works perfect. THANK YOU for such and outstanding video. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Just wanted to say thank you sir! went to Lowes, bought the garbage disposal and watched your video step by step. And Done! In less than a hour. I got a wired unit too so plugged right in. saved $200 on labor.
@@ThatFixItGuy yes! I can’t thank you enough! I was very skeptical lol but was like you know what! The heck with it. I’m do it, glad I did. keep doing what you do.
I'm a female, from the New York City. My sink was clogged and I fix it. Once I connected the pipes. My garbage disposal was leaking in the bottom. I watch about 5 video on you tube. Your's was so clear and easy to follow was able to do everything you did and it's up and running. Thank you so much. 😊🥰
You made my day buddy..just had to buy one at Lowes and follow your instructions. Appreciate you so much!! You are definately making a difference in the community!!
Thank You! Working from home and garbage disposal broke! Water went everywhere! Thanks to this video…. I followed step by step and reinstalled my garbage disposal by myself! ❤
This autoplayed after I watched the Home Depot video about the same task. This one added some important details that were missing from HD's video. Thanks, I feel confident now!
Thank you so much Brother! This was just what I needed. I've had trouble getting a plumber out to replace one of min disposal... I am going to take a stab at doing it myself. This video has given me so much confidence I can do it.
Just completed an install thanks to you! You are awesome. For anyone else watching, this is the best tutorial for installing a garbage disposal. Also, the screws/nuts into the drain pipe are 10mm. I had to use a 1/4 socket and ratchet to break them loose.
@@ThatFixItGuy my garbage disposal was under the sink for quite a while. We have only been in the house for 5 years but it was rusted solid. That was the only way I could disconnect the pipe.
Great step by step instructions. Very helpful indeed. I was able to swap out my broken garbage disposal unit. The tips were extremely helpful too it’s so easy to miss a step but your instructions were in point. Thanks again. Subscribed to your channel immediately.
Excellent video. Very easy to understand. My case was a replacement of an existing disposal. Thanks to gravity the old one came out quite quickly. Working on my back in 100 year old home, cramped quarters, I called in my neighbor for another set of hands to hold the drain with plumbers putty to not move. Got what we thought was all tightened up and connected. Ran the unit and some water. Rewarded my neighbor and sent him home. About an hour letter I ran some water and there is a pretty healthy leak right under the drain piece mentioned about. I did a double take and made sure the ring was closed as far as I could make it as well as the three screws. No luck. Called the Plumber. He will be here between noon and 5PM Monday the 15th. Again, great video. I will update as to what I did wrong. I look forward to your future videos. The Plumber just left. I mentioned this video after he tried several things to stop the flow. I told him I spread the ring. He pulled it apart to find that I was the cause of the leak. Too much spread so he compressed it. I swear I only spread it enough to open up and touch the other end. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Again Excellent video!!!!
I have an 8 month old badger 5 XL garbage disposal. It started leaking from the top, so I started watching videos to figure out how to fix it. I bought a new flange kit and will I’m use my garbage disposal I currently have. All the videos that I watched showed me how to replace keeping the same flange, but never showed me how to remove the flange. I was very frustrated until I found your video. Your video was short, to the point and left nothing out. I learned how to not only remove the flange, but how to install it and use some tools that no one else showed me. I am 61 year old female with some hand injuries, so I don’t have a lot of strength. But your video I didn’t even need a lot of strength as nothing was difficult. I did what it said, and I’m going to finish the installation now. Thank you for providing such a good instructional video
Before you begin to remove old unit it is a good idea to FIRST PRESS THE RED CIRCUIT BREAKER on the bottom of the garbage disposal. Don't ask me how I know.
The last time I replaced a disposal was 20 years ago when I was a mere 60 years ago. Now days I use youtube vids to refreash my memory on DIY PROJECTS. Thanks for your instructional video!
Wow.. how informative… u gained another subscriber. My wife called me at work today and said the bottom was leaking from the inside.. it’s ten yrs old. Getting one tomorrow and watching your video as I do it. Thanks Brother 👍🏼
Thank you for the step-by-step help. Anyone that needs to replace their garbage disposal needs to watch and follow your advice. It worked perfectly and didn’t take as much time as I thought it would take. Thank you!
Thank you Mr plumber I learned a lot from your video right now. I am learning how to do this for the first time because I'm on my own. I am doing all my own house maintenance. I am remodeling the bathroom, changing out the toilet, fixing the shower wall and installing a sink. I got a lot of projects going on. I'm also laying down wooden flooring in my dining room and some in my bedrooms. I am redoing the kitchen sink installing garbage disposal and putting in a dishwasher as I was removing the sink I came across a little bit of water damage where the sink was placed due to a leak. So I got a few projects going on and I am learning a lot by watching these TH-cam videos and reading home building books by the Home Depot and so on. I also like to talk to people who have experience in these fields it's very helpful.
Awesome! So glad we could help. Is does sound like you have a lot going on. Remember to take it a project at a time. It can only be overwhelming if you let it.
First time doing this, bought the Insinkerator Badger 900 at Home Depot, along with cord----and watch his video a couple times.....an hour and a half tops and it was switched out----had the tools, just needed a small can of plumber's putty. FYI---Home Depot install vendor wanted...wait for it---$469.00 to install!!!! This is a definite DIY!
I’m not the handiest man, but I was able to follow your tutorial with ease and it gave me confidence from beginning to end. Just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you. I've never changed a garbage disposal until today. I'm fairly handy but your video probably saved me hours of aggravating trial and error. Quite honestly I only needed to watch up to the point where you showed how to disconnect the quick connect. Had the job done in less than an hour and most of that was getting things to line up.
Instead of paying someone $200+, I'm gonna try doing this myself. Your tutorial is one of the best I have seen. Thank you for taking the time to make such an excellent tutorial.
Thanks man! My 10yr old badger 1/3hp died and I replaced it with the same unit. Your step by step instructions were perfect! I did it myself in an hr and saved money! My wife was surprised 😊.
Great video. HD quality, can see everything that you are doing, explanation is right on and no stupid music or corny jokes or trying to be funny. Thanks
My wife and I just installed our garbage disposal...I have to admit that my wife helped mostly fitting the plug, and seeing how to set the new disposal on....but we did it....Thankyou!!! I owe you a beer or dinner or something
Excellent tutorial with each step-view well filmed. The actual video portions are spot on and show very clearly each step making it easy to follow. Each separate instruction and technique used is presented. Experience makes a difference. Well done! Thanks.
I paid a guy $75,00 recently to do this job. I wish I had done it because immediately my new dishwasher is not emptying. He has to come back. And fix it. Thanks for your great video. Plus he didn’t put in new part on top which makes it look like a new insinkerator. PIA.
Thank you for the video, I was confused about what I thought was a "cardboard" holder/ place holder" however was able to find the manual and see... It's the "fiber gasket". You obviously installed it correctly and showed us how to do it in the video. Just making this comment for anyone who might be thinking ...🤔 does this belong in here, it does
This video demonstrates what is best about TH-cam. I’m a pretty handy person but did not know how to do this. I watched the video drove to the hardware store got what I needed and got it done. You’re a rockstar. Please keep making videos👍
Thank you so much for this video! I’m about to replace our old garbage disposal and I’m trying to learn all I can. I want you to know your video is better than any I’ve seen. It’s so detailed. Thank you thank you!
@@ThatFixItGuy it went well. It only took about ten minutes to do. I did have to get an electrician to come install an outlet before hand because I wasn’t super comfortable trying to hardwire something myself. I got the disposal on sale so I still saved money doing it myself even with cost of electrician. I watched your video several times and then I followed along with your video while I was installing. Thank you for your help!!!
Excellent video. I really appreciate how you show step-by-step instructions versus many other videos that show lightning speed install and you don’t learn a thing from it. Keep up the excellent content. Anything plumbing related is appreciated. Thank you!
Just bought a home and had to replace the garbage disposal having no idea what to even do. This is a great video!! Followed each step and got it done faster than I had thought. Thank you so much for this! Definitely subscribing!
I’m a teacher. Kindergarten. You’re a teacher, too. You are clear, concise, complete, confident, and encouraging. I never thought I’d tackle this kind of job. Now I think maybe I can do more than I thought. Thank you.
I followed your video step by step and was able to change out my garbage disposal. I would never have been able to do it by myself. You did a great job explaining everything and showing how to do it. Thank you so so much!!!
I just want to say thanks!! I bought my first home and had to replace the garbage disposal gone bad which I e never done before. This video is very thorough and I like that you also put best practices in it. Thank you!🎉🎉🎉
Hey brother, thanks for the channel locks locking tip. The other video I watched to install my disposal didn't mention that. So your video just popped up after my install and I was gonna click it off since I'd completed the job but thought, what the hell, I'll watch another video and I'm glad I did! I used my channel locks and got that puppy locked in!
Great demonstration! Thank you so much! I had a leak at the end opposite of the garbage disposal! Come to find out the guy who installed it didn’t make that horizontal pvc long enough so it was barely inside the tie in to the main drain so now I will buy a longer horizontal piece and redo! Thanks again! You’re a GREAT teacher Your friend, Barry
Very helpful video. The toughest part for me was lifting the new disposal with one hand, keeping it flush, while turning the bracket with my other hand. It took a few attempts to have all 3 guides catch the notches.
I totally get that. Can be a difficult process. So glad you were able to get it and do this yourself. I was thinking of maybe doing a video with use one a car Jack to help with that part of the process.
Thank you thank you thank you! I took on the challenge of changing ours out with my hubs as the assistant lol and I did ittttt! Successfully! Literally followed you step by step, I appreciate ya!
After watching your video multiple times, I changed out my moms disposal in only a couple hours! Thank you so much for your detailed video! I appreciate you!
This video was perfect for installing my new Badger 500! I was able to leverage the existing Badger 500 ‘sandwich’ connector which really shortened the job. Thanks man!!
This is a very good detailed install video. I watched this just because and never knew about that tab needing to touch to be properly tightened. Learned something there.
@@ThatFixItGuy Done, and Done! It worked out perfectly. It was a bit tricky to get the actual disposal twisted and affixed to the drain mount or whatever... but, once I got it, it was a piece of cake.

Again, great video. I will update as to what I did wrong. I look forward to your future videos. The Plumber just left. I mentioned this video after he tried several things to stop the flow. I told him I spread the ring. He pulled it apart to find that I was the cause of the leak. Too much spread so he compressed it. I swear I only spread it enough to open up and touch the other end. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Again Excellent video!!!!
Thank you for the in detail install, most channels don’t , appreciate it sir, have a great 👍 day.
I’m glad this helped you out! Hope we can help again.
I love that you ask for suggestions! Who does that!? A humble, intelligent person, that's who. Good job!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make a simple, direct and informative video! I was able to install my new disposal in no time. Thank you!!!!
Awesome! So happy this helped you! Hope we can help again.
I have an 8 month old badger 5 XL garbage disposal. It started leaking from the top, so I started watching videos to figure out how to fix it. I bought a new flange kit and will I’m use my garbage disposal I currently have. All the videos that I watched showed me how to replace keeping the same flange, but never showed me how to remove the flange. I was very frustrated until I found your video. Your video was short, to the point and left nothing out. I learned how to not only remove the flange, but how to install it and use some tools that no one else showed me. I am 61 year old female with some hand injuries, so I don’t have a lot of strength. But your video I didn’t even need a lot of strength as nothing was difficult. I did what it said, and I’m going to finish the installation now. Thank you for providing such a good instructional video
You’re so welcome. I’m so glad this helped you out. I hope I can help again.
If you are not hooking up a dishwasher you do not need to remove the knockout plug.
Thank you, thank you! The snap ring kicked my butt 😖 Got it on the first time with your method.
That is great to hear. That snap ring can be very tricky. Thanks for watching and I hope we can help you again.
Before you begin to remove old unit it is a good idea to FIRST PRESS THE RED CIRCUIT BREAKER on the bottom of the garbage disposal. Don't ask me how I know.
Did a jammed disposal end up being your problem? And hitting the red reset started it again.
LOL
The last time I replaced a disposal was 20 years ago when I was a mere 60 years ago. Now days I use youtube vids to refreash my memory on DIY PROJECTS. Thanks for your instructional video!
Your very welcome. So glad this could help you out.
Wow.. how informative… u gained another subscriber. My wife called me at work today and said the bottom was leaking from the inside.. it’s ten yrs old. Getting one tomorrow and watching your video as I do it. Thanks Brother 👍🏼
Thank you. Please let me know how it went for you.
Thank you showing the simplicity of changing garbage disposal. Great job!
Your Welcome! So glad it could help!
Found this video as I am replacing mine today. TY - very helpful. You used the same music as Outdoor Boys. Funny!!😂
My garbage disposal leaking I will get a new one and will follow your video.
Ok I hope it helps you out. Please let me know if you need anything.
Thank you for the step-by-step help. Anyone that needs to replace their garbage disposal needs to watch and follow your advice. It worked perfectly and didn’t take as much time as I thought it would take. Thank you!
That is great to hear Eric! Please subscribe, share and help us grow. Thank you.
Thank you Mr plumber I learned a lot from your video right now. I am learning how to do this for the first time because I'm on my own. I am doing all my own house maintenance. I am remodeling the bathroom, changing out the toilet, fixing the shower wall and installing a sink. I got a lot of projects going on. I'm also laying down wooden flooring in my dining room and some in my bedrooms. I am redoing the kitchen sink installing garbage disposal and putting in a dishwasher as I was removing the sink I came across a little bit of water damage where the sink was placed due to a leak. So I got a few projects going on and I am learning a lot by watching these TH-cam videos and reading home building books by the Home Depot and so on. I also like to talk to people who have experience in these fields it's very helpful.
Awesome! So glad we could help. Is does sound like you have a lot going on. Remember to take it a project at a time. It can only be overwhelming if you let it.
First time doing this, bought the Insinkerator Badger 900 at Home Depot, along with cord----and watch his video a couple times.....an hour and a half tops and it was switched out----had the tools, just needed a small can of plumber's putty. FYI---Home Depot install vendor wanted...wait for it---$469.00 to install!!!! This is a definite DIY!
That is awesome! Big savings. That price is kinda nuts! So glad this was able to help you out. Please subscribe, share and help us grow.
I used your video to replace my garbage disposal. Success!!!!! Thank you for the easy instructions.
Awesome! So happy we could help! Thank you for watching and hope we can help again.
I’m not the handiest man, but I was able to follow your tutorial with ease and it gave me confidence from beginning to end. Just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you. I've never changed a garbage disposal until today. I'm fairly handy but your video probably saved me hours of aggravating trial and error. Quite honestly I only needed to watch up to the point where you showed how to disconnect the quick connect. Had the job done in less than an hour and most of that was getting things to line up.
Awesome! Glad to hear this helped you out. Hope we can help again.
As someone who didn’t even know my sink had a bottom (joke) I was able to replace, and wire my new disposal today. Thank you for the help!!
Instead of paying someone $200+, I'm gonna try doing this myself. Your tutorial is one of the best I have seen. Thank you for taking the time to make such an excellent tutorial.
Thanks man! My 10yr old badger 1/3hp died and I replaced it with the same unit. Your step by step instructions were perfect! I did it myself in an hr and saved money! My wife was surprised 😊.
So glad this was able to help. Please subscribe, share your story and help us grow. Thank you.
Great video. HD quality, can see everything that you are doing, explanation is right on and no stupid music or corny jokes or trying to be funny. Thanks
Your welcome. So glad this could help you out.
My wife and I just installed our garbage disposal...I have to admit that my wife helped mostly fitting the plug, and seeing how to set the new disposal on....but we did it....Thankyou!!! I owe you a beer or dinner or something
Excellent tutorial with each step-view well filmed. The actual video portions are spot on and show very clearly each step making it easy to follow. Each separate instruction and technique used is presented. Experience makes a difference. Well done! Thanks.
Had to replace my kitchen garbage disposal today and used your video step by step. You made it very easy, thanks
I paid a guy $75,00 recently to do this job. I wish I had done it because immediately my new dishwasher is not emptying. He has to come back. And fix it. Thanks for your great video. Plus he didn’t put in new part on top which makes it look like a new insinkerator. PIA.
I hope he came back and fixed that issue. Did he forget to take the dishwasher plug out?
Thank you for the video, I was confused about what I thought was a "cardboard" holder/ place holder" however was able to find the manual and see... It's the "fiber gasket". You obviously installed it correctly and showed us how to do it in the video.
Just making this comment for anyone who might be thinking ...🤔 does this belong in here, it does
No that is a great thought. I could totally see how this would mess someone up. Thank you and glad this video helped
This video demonstrates what is best about TH-cam. I’m a pretty handy person but did not know how to do this. I watched the video drove to the hardware store got what I needed and got it done. You’re a rockstar. Please keep making videos👍
Oh man! Thank you for the awesome words. We are trying over here. So glad this was able to help..
Just replaced my garbage disposal with your video. Very detailed yet simple all at the same time. Thanks!!!
Awesome. So glad to hear you hooked that up! Hope we can help again.
Thank you, I just followed your instruction and installed my first garbage disposal, that saved me lots of money.
Awesome! And congratulations! So glad this could help you out.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m about to replace our old garbage disposal and I’m trying to learn all I can. I want you to know your video is better than any I’ve seen. It’s so detailed. Thank you thank you!
How did it go?
@@ThatFixItGuy it went well. It only took about ten minutes to do. I did have to get an electrician to come install an outlet before hand because I wasn’t super comfortable trying to hardwire something myself. I got the disposal on sale so I still saved money doing it myself even with cost of electrician.
I watched your video several times and then I followed along with your video while I was installing. Thank you for your help!!!
Excellent video. I really appreciate how you show step-by-step instructions versus many other videos that show lightning speed install and you don’t learn a thing from it. Keep up the excellent content. Anything plumbing related is appreciated. Thank you!
Your hint of using a Channel Lock for tightening the mounting ring made my day!
I looked at a lot of videos regarding this project. This is by far the most detailed and has excellent shots of what you need to do. Great work!
Thank you so much. Finally a complete video to removing the adapter.
So glad this helped! Hope we can help again.
Just bought a home and had to replace the garbage disposal having no idea what to even do. This is a great video!! Followed each step and got it done faster than I had thought. Thank you so much for this! Definitely subscribing!
Appreciate it. Please share your story and help us grow. Thank you.
I’m a teacher. Kindergarten. You’re a teacher, too. You are clear, concise, complete, confident, and encouraging. I never thought I’d tackle this kind of job. Now I think maybe I can do more than I thought. Thank you.
That was so good. I know most anyone could install this model.. Thank You
Thank you. So glad this could help you out.
I followed your video step by step and was able to change out my garbage disposal. I would never have been able to do it by myself. You did a great job explaining everything and showing how to do it. Thank you so so much!!!
Awesome! So glad you were able to rock this out! I hope we can help again! Thank you!
I just want to say thanks!! I bought my first home and had to replace the garbage disposal gone bad which I e never done before. This video is very thorough and I like that you also put best practices in it. Thank you!🎉🎉🎉
Hey brother, thanks for the channel locks locking tip. The other video I watched to install my disposal didn't mention that. So your video just popped up after my install and I was gonna click it off since I'd completed the job but thought, what the hell, I'll watch another video and I'm glad I did! I used my channel locks and got that puppy locked in!
I have seen many not locked in place and cause damage and early replacement. Glad this helped.
Great demonstration!
Thank you so much! I had a leak at the end opposite of the garbage disposal! Come to find out the guy who installed it didn’t make that horizontal pvc long enough so it was barely inside the tie in to the main drain so now I will buy a longer horizontal piece and redo! Thanks again!
You’re a GREAT teacher
Your friend,
Barry
Thank you for your video. It really helped especially the final tightening. My garbage disposal fell off. And now it is back again
Excellent how-to video. Lots of great tips every step of the way. I appreciate the length you went to in getting well-lit closeup shots.
This video is awesome, i installed my garbage disposal with no problem. thanks
That is great to hear. I hope we can help again
Very helpful video. The toughest part for me was lifting the new disposal with one hand, keeping it flush, while turning the bracket with my other hand. It took a few attempts to have all 3 guides catch the notches.
I totally get that. Can be a difficult process. So glad you were able to get it and do this yourself.
I was thinking of maybe doing a video with use one a car Jack to help with that part of the process.
Thank you thank you thank you! I took on the challenge of changing ours out with my hubs as the assistant lol and I did ittttt! Successfully! Literally followed you step by step, I appreciate ya!
Awesome. So glad this could help you. Please subscribe, share your experience and help us grow. Thank you.
After watching your video multiple times, I changed out my moms disposal in only a couple hours! Thank you so much for your detailed video! I appreciate you!
This video was perfect for installing my new Badger 500! I was able to leverage the existing Badger 500 ‘sandwich’ connector which really shortened the job. Thanks man!!
That is a great part about a like for like swap! Your welcome and thanks for watching.
Great instructions helped me replace a unit today. Thanks
Wonderful. Hope we can help again.
What a chad, thanks for your guidance
I just fixed mines Sunday. Thanks to your video, even my sister was impressed.

Great video! Everything works like it should and looks good. Thank you!
That is great to hear. Your welcome.
This is a very good detailed install video. I watched this just because and never knew about that tab needing to touch to be properly tightened. Learned something there.

Appreciate the step-by-step and video quality! Nicely Done! .. now.. time to go install my new disposal! 🙌
You got this! Let me know how it ends up for you. So glad this could help.
@@ThatFixItGuy Done, and Done! It worked out perfectly. It was a bit tricky to get the actual disposal twisted and affixed to the drain mount or whatever... but, once I got it, it was a piece of cake.
Awesome! That is great to hear! I hope we can help again sometime!
@@ThatFixItGuy 100%. For now, our disposal is nice and quiet.. bonus, no leaks. LOL
Dude, thank you! I just removed and installed my garbage disposal while watching your video step by step! Success!!! 🙌
