Garbage disposals
Do garbage disposals have to be hardwired in? I need to change one and
I thought about adding an outlet so it can be plugged in. Wiring the thing in underneath the sink is a royal pain. Jimmie |

No. Your thinking is correct. An outlet is much better than hardwiring. Position the outlet high in the most convenient location and toward the front. |

That's the first thing a pro would do in that situation. Joe I went ahead and pulled the sink cutting the pipe in places that would be easy to replace. Geez it didnt take 20 minutes. I may replace the sink, I didnt realize what a chintsy sink this thing was. I would have probably warped the bottom of the sink trying to take the lock ring off. Found that some genius glued pieces of the PVC trap together they shouldnt have. That would explain a lot of my frustration with this project. Throwing all this junk away is getting to sound like a great idea. usenet groups are theraputic. Jimmie |
