Review on ๐Ÿšฝ Waste King 3101 3-Bolt Adapter - Pack of 1, Black: Enhance Your Plumbing with this Convenient Adapter by Jerome Godwin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

But works exactly as intended.

This adapter allows you to install a Waste King EZ mount like the L-8000 to an existing insinkerator. Some reviews ask why you want to do this. In our case it was because we bought a sink flange and end cap that matched the sink and worked really well. We didn't want to give that up in favor of the cheaper looking EZ mount. The only other waste grinder that mounts directly to the insinkerator mount is the Knight A1SPC, but it's more expensive than the combined cost of the L-8000 and this adapter. Don't let the Waste King 9980 fool you. It will NOT mount directly to your existing Insinkerator mount! Therefore, this adapter is the best option. Installation with the adapter was very easy. I installed the L-8000 with the EZ mount in another sink. Using this adapter on the L-8000 and then attaching it to the existing Insinkerator mount was even easier than the EZ mount. You MUST have all the parts of your existing insinkerator mount in addition to this adapter, but if you are replacing an old insinkerator slide you should already have all the parts you need. However, if you are doing this on a brand new installation, you will need the Insinkerator Sink Bracket and Mounting Flange that are normally included with the Insinkerator. Finally, is this adapter the ideal solution? No! What keeps it from getting a perfect score is the slow draining of the water into the sink through the splash guard. I understand that this is on purpose to keep some water in the sink drain while the disposer is running. This is to reduce the chopper noise. It's still a pain and I'll remove the chopper and cut out the fender to make the center hole bigger. I'd rather have a sink that drains the water completely with a little more noise.

Pros
  • Nicely packaged
Cons
  • A bit of detail
