GENERAL NOTES

Disposer

• Install the disposer per the Instruction, Care and Use manual.

• When positioning disposer ensure that the overload reset
button is accessible by end user.

• Connect cold water to either the sink bowl or end of trough.

Waste Xpress

• Install the Waste Xpress per the Instruction, Care and
Use manual.

• Position the pulper so that the front surface of the discharge
chute is recessed 3" (76.2 mm) (see Figure 1) from the front
edge of the table and that a minimum clearance of 1" (25.4 mm)
exists between the underside of the table and top of the
discharge chute (see Figure 2) for proper removal of discharge
chute, ease of cleaning and general maintenance.

• Position the pulper so that it is within 10' (3.1 m) of the
disposer outlet flange. (See Figure 2)

• The Waste Xpress should be disassembled and cleaned a
minimum of once daily. Interior of cabinet and discharge chute
should be cleaned with hot soapy water. Auger, screen and
bearing bracket can be cleaned either manually with hot soapy
water or in a dishwasher.

Control Panel

• Install the WX-101A control panel per the Instruction, Care and
Use manual and in accordance to local, state and or national
electric codes.

• Position the control panel so that the front surface is recessed
1-1/2" (38.1 mm) from the front edge of the table and that a
minimum clearance of 2" (50.8 mm) exists between the underside
of the table and the top of the control panel for ease of installation
and serviceability.

• Position the WX-101A control panel so that it is within site of the
disposer and pulper.

PLUMBING NOTES

Waste Connection

• 2" (50.8 mm) NPT – used between disposer, Waste Xpress
and drain

• When connecting the drain line from the disposer to the
Waste Xpress use a maximum of (4) 90° bends (45° bends
are recommended) with a 1/4" (6.4 mm) drop per foot of run
or as local codes apply.

• Floor sink or drains should be installed per local codes but
kept clear of yet accessible to pulper.

• Trough applications in excess of 10' (3.1 m) and/or systems
plumbed with a cold water supply greater than 7 GPM
(26.5 LPM) must incorporate the second drain outlet from the
pulper and be drained independently to floor sink or drain.

TROUGH APPLICATION NOTES

Construction

• The recommended maximum trough length is 10' (3.1 m).

• A silver saver should be fabricated prior to end of trough to
catch utensils and dishes.

Water Supply

• For trough lengths of 10' (3.1 m) or less place water nozzle at
end of trough.

• For trough lengths greater than 10' (3.1 m) place one
water nozzle at end of trough and one mid stream.

• Do not plumb water to disposer grind chamber.

Fresh Water Connections

• 1/2" (12.7 mm) NPT – used on syphon breaker, solenoid and
flow control valve.

• 1/2" (12.7 mm) NOM compression – used on sink bowl nozzles.

• 1/2" (12.7 mm) Ridged Copper (compression) – used on hot
water connection to pulper.

• If fresh water supply is greater than 50 psi (144.7 kPa), a
pressure regulating valve must be installed in both.

• It is recommend that ball type shutoff valves be installed
in the cold and hot water lines.

• It is recommended that the hot water connected between
solenoid valve and pulper be terminated with a union for
ease of serviceability.

Magnet

• Can be mounted to trough either by tack welding to using weld
studs (see instruction sheet for weld stud pattern).

• Trough magnets should be placed within 12" (304.8 mm) of
end of trough or trough intersection with sink bowl (see Figure 4).

• Additional magnets can be used as necessary.
