Easy to install Best in Food Waste Disposer Parts & Accessories

I bought this because my 70's Harvest Gold sink had a fixed 3 bolt system. I'm not sure if the blowtorch would have coped if it was off. This little gadget made installation sooooo easy. Also, the flange that came with the grinder was silver and wouldn't look good in a sink against a real stainless steel flange on the other side. I could replace both flanges to match, but that was a lot easier. Bolted this pup to a chopper and then installed the whole thing in less than 5 minutes. Yes, it hangs

Does what I bought at a great price

I bought a Waste King L-8000 to replace what was probably the original unit in my house. With the replacement in place, I began the prep work of what I needed to do to get it working (and fix the leaking block). Realizing I needed this adapter, I ordered it (thanks Revain Prime for the two day delivery!) and so far it's done a great job keeping things in my sink away from anything but the recycling unit. I would check what you have in your house before ordering a replacement slide, but if youโ€ฆ

Waste King Adapter - Works as advertised

We replaced an old Badger 1 with a Waste King L2600, we have a white sink and wanted to keep our existing white collar for recycling. The adapter was quick and easy to use and simply plugged into the existing Badger sink collar mount. This lowered the drain hole by about 1/2 inch. I had to replace my existing 1-1/2 inch sink stem with a longer one. The rest of the sink installation had enough play that simple loosening and adjustment was required. I suggest you plan an adapter to lower yourโ€ฆ

Adapt your Waste King to an insinkerator sink

That's why you NEED this adapter. Some sinks, such as B. the Elkay Perfect Drain, have welded-on flanges designed for use with Insinkerator dispensers only. The only way to install the Waste King EZ mount dispenser is to use this adapter with the old Insinkerator quick release mount. If you don't have this adapter and ISE quick release, you can purchase an Insinkerator dispenser for your Elkay Perfect Drain sink. Note that other brands of sinks may offer the same welded flanges as Elkay, but Iโ€ฆ

  • Best
Cons
  • I don't remember

Great for attaching an EZ mount to an EXISTING 3-bolt mount

I totally agree with Ronald Lynch's review. I replaced my old Insinkerator Badger (a piece of junk that expired after only 3.5 years) with a new Waste King L-8000. This adapter allowed me to easily attach a new disposal that uses an EZ mount to a 3-bolt roof mount that was already attached to the sink. I think the negative reviews are coming from people who don't understand when this adapter is needed and when it isn't. I'll try to make this clear: if your new disposal uses a 3-bolt mount, youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Minor issues

You don't need it; but you may WANT to use

I'll start by repeating what others have said - in most cases you won't need this adapter. It really depends on what it does and if you WANT that adapter. Each new disposal comes with a mounting system so you don't need this adapter. If you want to keep your old 3-bolt mount in place and the new mount is NOT a 3-bolt mount (like the EZ mount), you will need this adapter. We have a new Waste King recycler. EZ mount. New flange chrome. All of our kitchen surfaces (including sinks and faucets) are

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • No

The description of this adapter kit is not sufficient. It doesn't include all the parts needed for installation, but does require you to remove the insinkerator (in this case you have the metal adapter that comes with the insinkerator slide). I purchased an Elkay stainless steel sink from Home Depot which (unnoticed by me) was only designed for use with the Insinkerator slide. Also the description of the Elkay sink did not contain this information in the online description. When the installerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Useless functions

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 thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nicely packaged
Cons
  • A bit of detail
