If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into the opening, proceed to the next section "install the drain hose/' Jf they do not reach far enough, follow the steps under "Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups/'
HeJpfuITip:To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep
the hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole
where it passes through the cabinet.
Option 1, Waste disposer - with air gap:
