I recieved my composter yesterday. It came with two pieces of black plastic pipe that aren't in the instructions. Any clue what these are for?

I didn't see it mentioned in the assembly instructions so I was confused too! Will have to wait till my bins are empty again for insterting the tubes! I did try to force them in initially, as I had guessed they were supposed to go inside but they didn't fit easily and I was afraid to break the tumbler.

They go inside each tumbler over the tube as you pass it through, they help to keep the tumbler in shape and not forcing the walls to come together.

Plastic pipe or pipe covered in plastic? I don't know if you received the correct pipe setup to elevate the composter off the ground. Perhaps you did but the pipe is now made of plastic? Doubtful... You need to provide more info.

The plastic pipes set horizontally inside each of the tumblers and are what the metal support pipe feeds through. This allows for easy spinning of the tumblers as the metal supports would otherwise get coated with the compost. Hope this helps :)

ok, thanks for responses! Bought 2 units for 2 sinks and neither package has directions, and plastic washers/seals, not rubber. That was my confusion. Looked at drains at Home Depot and they all had rubber seals. Apparently thinks were changed. Thanks.

Joseph B, you will need something to keep the weight of the bags from pushing the plastic onto the exhaust. I was in a hurry and fashioned a "quick fix" with some "L" brackets and some tubing I had around the garage. Later (on-line) I found some made brackets (Dirt-Bagz), that are rather inexpensive and would be a great addition to these bags. AS

The black rubber baffle is part of your disposal. Those can be purchased for $5 at Lowe's and are specific to your disposal.

I don't recognize this black plastic cap, I didn't use it during the install, it must be for shipping or to cover the bare metal. I didn't use it .

There are different types and sizes of compost bins. My round one came with a square filter to begin with....why I don't know. If you order the square one, be sure to measure the opening to make sure it covers the opening.

We want to match the stainless color of our double sink. I agree with Karen that you most likely won't need the pipe if you have only single sink with garbage disposal. If you are not sure, you might want to order both pieces separately and be able to return the part that you don't need.

Hmmm... I didn't get one of those. I just got the black part pictured here and it was all one piece.

Tyler, I found it on the plate where the stirrers plug into the mixer. In our case, its a black plastic strip. Hope this helps.

The black handle is made of some type of plastic, however, I have no idea what it is. You'd have the ask the manufacturer.

The one I received had black colored metal fittings. They could be mistaken for plastic based on appearance only

I pulled it apart to see the construction but didn't clean it. It was my first pipe so I'm no expert. I enjoy smoking it.

Just be very careful. There is a design flaw in the black pipe. My saw collected a bunch of sawdust there that started smoldering - almost caught fire. We removed it and don't use dust collection any more. The flaw in the pipe is that it has a "pinch point" a couple of inches from its intake side. That sometimes causes sawdust to get stuck.

There should be a white pipe with a cap on it. sticking out of the ground in your yard between the house and main sewer line on your street. Mine is in a shrub bed near the house in the front yard.

The big plastic piece is a security sensor. I sent an email to amazon about it and they did absolutely nothing. You just have to break it off. Or that's what I did.

my feeling is that black attachment piece is for filtering purposes only. I removed mine completely because it was the only way to stop the dripping from where the hose meets the faucet. Not having it on doesn't actually impede the functioning of the mister (so far).

There are two knobs on the line splitter. It's black. Make sure they are open as they control air flow. There is very little way to mess up hooking it up as long as the tube is over the plastic part that sticks out on the side.
