does the outlet for the dishwasher have to be on the same side of the garbage disposal drainage outlet?
Yes the outlet for the dishwasher should be on the same side as the disposal,so the disposal can handle the waste water from the dishwasher.
How many circuits for kitchen if you have dishwasher and disposal and?
You should really try to have one dedicated to your refrigerator and one dedicated to your stove/oven (if electric). I believe you will not have any issues if the dishwasher and disposal are on the same circuit.
How do you hook up a garbage disposal and a dishwasher to the same outlet if the outlet has black red and white wires?
each needs a separate 20 amp feed
Can a garbage disposal be on the same circuit as four outlets and a ceiling fan?
Yes, if the circuit breaker and the wiring is large enough to carry the sum of the amp draw of all. Without knowing what will be plugged into the outlets, there is no way to be more specific. <<>> It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit for a garbage disposal. It is best not to add any additional loads to kitchen counter receptacles as these are also dedicated circuits.
Can you run 2 small refrigerators on the same circuit as a dishwasher?
It will depend on how big the circuit is if its a 20a no if its 40a yes!
Can you install a garbage disposal in a single bowl sink?
My question was to compare a double bowl kitchen sink to installing a single bowl one. There is currently a garbage disposal in the double bowl sink.
Are all garbage disposal wrenches the same size?
No there are 3 sizes or you can buy the three in one at Home Depot
How do you plumb a garbage disposal in a sink with one drain?
Same as you would for a double sink. There is a short tail piece with the disposal that attaches with a flat plate and a short bolt. Install the disposal on the sink and route the drain as needed. There has to be a trap between the disposal and the drain.
How do you change a garbage disposal?
A new disposal should have instructions with it. Disconnect the electrical supply and the dishwasher tube if it is connected. At the top of the disposal there is a locking ring that attaches it to the sink. There should be 3 tabs sticking out around the ring. They look like 1 inch long tubes. Rotate the ring counter clockwise and the disposal will drop down. Hold the disposal up while turning the ring. The neck sticking down through the sink should have 3 screws holding it in place. Loosen the screws and the plate they go through will raise up so that you can remove the snap ring at the bottom of the tube. With the plate and snap ring removed, push the neck out of the sink. Clean the surface of the sink and use plumbers putty or silicone caulk under the lip of the new disposal neck. Install the neck or flange in the reverse order you took the old one out. Same with the disposal. If there is a dishwasher attached to it, you will need to knock out the plug in the tube on the disposal. Just use a screwdriver and hammer to knock it out before you install the disposal.
Can a dishwasher and disposal share a dedicated 20 amp circuit?
Original answer: Yes! I did this in my Kitchen USSEG: It really comes down to how much amp each of the appliances is going to use at peak. You need to look at the emperage draw of each appliance then make your decision. If you are sure you are not going to use both at the same time (ever) then it is fine. A disposal requires at least a 15 amp and a dishwasher usually needs at least a 15 amp. If breakers start tripping you will need to separate them. If this is for new contrstruction, there is no reason not to run a separate line for each.
What could be the problem if your basement floor drain backs up every time you use your garbage disposal?
your kitchen drain and floor drain are on same line, and needs to be snaked
How can I clean the gunk collected on the under side the soft rubber protectors at the top of my garbage disposal?
Turn on the hot water; let it run until the water gets very hot. Then reduce the water to a low trickle, and with the garbage disposal on, add a generous squirt or two of regular liquid dishwashing liquid (not automatic dishwasher detergent). Let the disposal continue to run, along with the hot water. The suds will build up over the top of the rubber protectors, cleaning the underside, and removing built-up grease, etc. You may need to repeat if it has a bad build-up of the gunk. Do this every week or two to keep the underside of the rubber protectors clean. This will also keep the disposal clean and grease free, and eliminate odors, without using harsh chemicals, and is easier and much less expensive than commercial products that are made for the same purpose, but with the same good results.
