* An extended sink flange (Item # 3140) is

available for deep-well, cast iron sinks. (For
3-bolt mount only.)

(Read completely before starting.)

NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts,
as they have been correctly assembled by the factory.
Also, reference the cushion mount detail illustration below for
the proper orientation of the cushion mount.

A. Disassemble mount assembly from disposer by turning mount ring

to the left (clockwise) and remove.

B. Raise mount ring toward top of sink flange. Remove cushion

mount. Remove mount ring. You may want to practice installing

the cushion mount at this point before you are under the sink.
See paragraph "H."

C. Unscrew support ring from sink flange and remove fiber gasket.

You are now left with sink flange and rubber gasket.

D. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers putty with

stainless steel sinks. Other sinks may require putty.

E. If no putty is used, insert sink flange through rubber gasket into

sink opening. Do not rotate sink flange once it is seated.

F. If you use putty instead of the gasket, form a ring around

underside of sink flange. Insert flange into sink opening, press
down hard to squeeze out excess putty. From under sink, trim off
excess putty flush with bottom edge of sink opening.

G. From underneath sink, slip fiber gasket onto exposed sink flange.

With arrows pointing up, screw support ring onto the sink flange,
hand tighten until the sink flange will not move (see 1A). At this
point you may want to insert stopper in sink and fill with water to

check sink flange seal and insure there are no leaks.
