Default Might a deep sink and large garbage disposer be a problem?

I found a 3/4 hp Sears Kenmore disposer (7 yr in home warranty!) and was �
wondering if this monster would be a problem to install with so deep a �
sink.


All the pipes and drains have to be redone so it's not a question of retro �
fitting them.


Does it sound like all those traps and twisty pipes will go in ok with �
this arrangement?


Don't forget the dishwasher hookup!


Thanks for reassurances or pointing out possible problems!

Personally Id go for a solid surface type sink but its just
preference.
Dump the Sears crap and get a real disposal. A 1 hp model.
In-Sink-erator works just fine.http://www.insinkerator.com/product/...6&template=hhd
It will all fit just fine with the amount of plumbing fittings
available out there.

If you were trying to put a deeper sink into an existing location, it
could be a problem, depending on how far below the sink the waste pipe
coming out of the wall is. � Since you're moving the sink, it should
not be a problem. �The disposal will have a diagram that shows the
mounting limitations and the plumber can handle it. �If you need to
consider other models, they should be available at the manufacturers
website.

3/4 hp is fine, I've never had one more powerful and never had any
problems.- Hide quoted text -

a general rule, dont buy the cheapest of anything cause its typically
built for a price point and its cheaped out.

the mst expensive cater too the high end must have the best crowd
price is no object.

reliable dependable is the mid price of whatever you buy
