Plumber wants to change the tail piece/ drain pop-up to all metal &amp; push button. after reading the quick start guide -it says only use 1 included. Why

From what I understand the included tailpiece is plastic and a metal tailpiece can interfere with the hands free or touch operation. If you do change it and experience problems you know that is the culprit. Hope that helps,

Did you find the unit with a threaded waste port? The waste port should be described or at least a photo provided. Just had to RETURN a unit because of that. IF they had included an threaded piece to install instead of that drop tube requiring a second trap - which actually - I measured a trap will not fit into the space. I guess they figured WE would remake all the pipes under OUR sinks to accommodate THEIR disposals OR call a plumber. Remember 'create jobs'!!!

just spoke with hubby who actually tapped them out........he says you need to tap them out from the bottom to the top....diagram sent with replacement pipes is actually correct....he used a punch the second time..........if you use a screwdriver you need a small enough one to fit into those small holes that you see when you used the handle to pull the pipes up...................SUZ

Yes it comes with no door or use the old one is what I did! U can use the old wiring or you'll have to re-wire if you want to use the switch that comes with it! I'm using it as we speak and I'm using the gas and electric at the same time and I can tell you that water it hot as can be!!! I will give you a warning though. It came with plastic couplers 1/2" and they both broke! Go to Home Depot and get two brass ones before installing! 1/2" pipe thread $2.89 each!

Jeff, good thing you asked before buying. I am facing this problem now. It was too big for my retrofit. In Lowes, they sell it with a removable adapter for larger drains. This one is the larger fit and is all one piece. The threads were too big for mine. I needed 1 1/2 and this one was more like 1 3/4 or thereabouts. Hope this helps.

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.

It is connected to the faucet. I suppose you could cut the cable and remove the rod, but then you would have an open hole on the back of the faucet base. If you don't plan to use the pop up drain, it would probably be better to just leave the rod in place to close the hole and it would be less obvious.

This unit comes with a different type of mechanism for flushing. I bought the "lever" type of flush instead of the "button" type of flush. It would be difficult to modify because the lever is attached to a cable (similar to a bicycle hand brake cable) that activates the flush. (Pull up for small flush, push down for big flush). I assume that you could change the look of the lever using a special made oil rubbed bronze colored plastic cover that would slip over top of it (a difficult task in my opinion but do-able). The unit works well and is worth every penny.

It's been a while since I installed this, and we've since moved. I do believe that the broken one I replaced was the contractor model. I used the old drain, which worked fine. I believe there was something funky about the wiring, but it couldn't have been too bad, as I am not a mechanic...(See the idea about using a auto jack to hold the disposal in place while working with it.) My advice, if the price is good, would be to get it, take it our of the box and look at it. Amazon has been great with returns for me, when things don't work.

We had a single as well and yes it does! My husband installed this himself and he's not a plumber but was able to figure it out!:)

3 bolt yes, quick connect NO. I just had to return the 1.0 horsepower Waste King because I wanted the drains more so then the disposal. I didn't see, or didn't look to see if the Waste King was 3 bolt or not, I'd read another answer and figured it would work, was really glad the plumber had a new disposal in his truck, with a dark brown sink the stainless would have looked horrible.

I had a plumber do my installation. I did not trust myself to do the job because all plumbing would be visible. He used all chrome plated brass tube and fittings. He plumbed hot & cold water supply directly to sink using small diameter chromed tubing that he custom fitted (no flex tubing) and added chrome shutoff valves. I like the look very much.

This flange worked perfect to replace the metal cylinder in my 1937 standard master one piece low boy toilet. However, the metal flange left 3 holes like you mention and this new one does NOT cover them. So I ALSO needed three rubber grommets to fill these holes. They american standard part number 0726-2700 Amazon does not carry these. I found them on guillens.com but they were back ordered. So I went to my local hardware store and bought three rubber corks 1/2 inch size They cost about 22 cents each :)

I so sorry to be slow in responding. As soon as I received your message, I called my plumber because I wanted to ask which specific part he purchased form Home Depot to close off the sprayer. But he is sick and hasn't returned my call. Anyway, to answer your question, I have one hole for my faucet and discarded the sprayer. It works great.
