Which side to install garbage disposal
I just bought a new double sink. One side of the sink is deep and
wide, and the other side is shallow and small. Which side to I install the garbage disposal on? |

The height of the drain stub out may be an issue.
That is the second rule of plumbing. Stuff don't flow up hill. |

As already said your sink your choice but generally the shallow sink is considered to be the "prep sink" and more likely to need the disposal for the scraps and peelings. |

The shallow side is designed for the disposal, but scraps are always in the
deeper section and need to be moved. I always used the deeper section until I got a full double sink Space under the sink is a primary consideration, tho -- Barry "Aaron" wrote in message oups.com...

JMO, but the main sink. You rinse the dirty dishes in the large sink then all the food waste goes in that disposer. JennP. |

I use the little sink for rinsing with clear water so it doesn't fill up my soapy water in the larger sink. JennP. |
