My present disposal has a 3 bolt connection. Would changing to the twist type connection for a new disposal make installation complicated?

If I understand your present disposal 3 bolts the twist type should be no problem. When you order it is a bit confusing as to what comes with the disposal. When they show people often order some things when the get the disposal. You don't need any of those it all come with it the only thing you might need would be some different drain pipe but most likely you won't. I hope I was some help. Bill

I chose to put the deeper strainer in the smaller basin, because I usually prep my veggies there and did not install a disposal. You can install it however works for you. The parts are interchangeable.

I used the one I already had connecting the old disposal and the dishwasher. Very easy.

They screw in from both sides but making the change from one to two holes with this kind of pull should pose no problem. You can purchase a template from any home improvement store to assist you with getting the new holes lined up correctly. The single hole should be hidden under the handle.

I'm sorry I have no idea. It had the same. Erasure nets and looked the same as the one I was replacing. I didn't take out the disposal to install this, just put itin from the top of the sink. It fit in the opening.

No. Just need to loosen the old one by turning it clockwise with a pipe wrench (with teeth), the hardest part.

I wish I could help you, but it was a few months ago, and I don't recall the details of the connection. It must have been the same size since the only difficulty of installation I remember was the typical one of working on my back under the sink tightening the fixture. It is remarkable that a plumbing supply retailer wouldn't have all possible reducers for various plastic hose transitions. I would try other plumbing supplies outlets. Perhaps you could "google" the problem and see whether others may have encountered and solved it. I hope you are successful. It is an excellent faucet -- high quality. Again, sorry, but good luck.

I'm not sure you will have to make sure the twist connect is the correct one. Check with champion- if I remember correctly it is an L-5 connector on the generator. I hope this helps

Hi Grac4. I ordered mine with the "tail pipe." Frankly, I don't remember if my plumber used it or not, but he did tell me I probably didn't need it because the better garbage disposals have the connecting pipe needed to attach to the drain. I would go ahead and get it, just in case. Good luck!

Just looked: there are small hexagonal nuts on each side (not bolts), and they are inset so that you'd need a tiny socket head to turn them. I'd say they're screwed onto a long pin with a little thread at each end. However, it is possible that the thread goes the whole length of the pin, in which case you'd need to saw a length off in order to make the unit more narrow. Oh, and the nuts are around 5/16 " diameter.

I replaced the mounting assembly even though I didn't need to. Either would have worked. I had a new sink with a very old disposal. I am barely qualified to change a light bulb and found the process easy. I used nothing but screwdrivers, pliers, and the wrench that came with the unit as the old plug, gaskets, clamps, and pipes hooked up to the new unit without a problem.

I replaced my Insinkerator steel flange with the new wk flange just to ensure all new parts would mate as designed. Good thing I took the original one off, since the putty under the old flange was questionable in it's ability to hold up much longer. Not exactly a straight answer, but this is what I did. "Thanks.

My previous unit was only held by the four screws. But if the "fit" of the hole it was inserted into was tight, it might need some assistance. My old unit (I'm waiting for warmer weather to make the change) is still in place with no screws, just friction.

I am not sure. I fitted my sink with two drains and no disposal. Disposals are a plumber's dream! The flanges which came with the sink were flimsy, for such an expensive sink. I bought separate, quality ones ($60 each) at the hardware store.

I went out and looked at my connection, and had to laugh. I now remember the pain. My line from the utility is a female quick connect. My line from the grill was way larger, and there are about 5 brass fittings in between to get it to downsize and result in a male/ female proper interconnect. It's not rocket science, but takes some thought. For some reason, I think this is complicated between British (Weber) and U.S. normal configs. Again, a good store that sells grills and a picture and measurement of your two starting ends (grill and gas connection) will help.

Mine connected securely, also in 3 pieces, all the same size. I would experiment with turning them upside down to see if you get a secure fit.

It's been awhile since I installed my disposal, i believe spending on what mount you have it has to line up with the three notches with the three notches on the disposal but it's been awhile don't know if that helps, mine had a extra part which got me confused call waist king customer service
