This seems like a silly question, but I'm starting the installation and can't get the sink flange off of the disposal out of the box.

Not silly, I had the same problem. I assumed it screwed on and off, it doesn't. You have to pull it straight up off of the rubber fitting. Then when you reinstall on the sink, you push it back down into the disposal an tighten everything around it. Drove me nuts until I figured that part out.

It's been awhile since I installed my disposal, i believe spending on what mount you have it has to line up with the three notches with the three notches on the disposal but it's been awhile don't know if that helps, mine had a extra part which got me confused call waist king customer service

the original ezmount flange is for a complete tear out of the old insinkerator flange. you can buy an adapter. However using an adapter required a change in the under the sink configuration. The adapter made the whole thing hang too low to just reattach to my plastic sink pipe configuration.

We never opened the box. We are giving it away as the box got lost in the mail and ended up at our place 3 weeks after it said it was to arrive. We ended up purchasing elsewhere. I would imagine that there would be an installation guide provided to you. We had one with the sink we ended up buying from Lowe's.

I changed the whole thing out. The sink flange comes with the unit, so why not all new? Besides, it took all of about 5 minutes to get the old one out and install the new one and now everything matches up. There is a you tube video demonstrating the installation that I found helpful as well. Good luck!

Best as i can remember. Remove the chrome and brass nuts and the bottom plastic flange from the threaded tail piece and unscrew the push plunger. Clean the sink hole face, and spread a little plumbing silicone where the top flange will rest. Drop the tail piece through the hole, place the bottom flange on the threaded section from below and the secure it with the brass nut. Finally adjust the chrome tail piece to desired lenghth and secure with the chrome nut. Mine have been fine.

If the whole assembly is loose on the basin- NO - Look under the sink and find a nut that tightens the bracket that holds the faucet assembly to the sink. I had a similar situation when we installed it. Had to tighten a couple times - if you are familiar with thread locker, you might want to put a dab of the blue, non hardening nonpermanent locker on the stem where the nut tightens. I might have used a dab of pipe compound or even soft permatex - forgot which now but its stayed tight for a couple yrs now. Good luck with it.

Don't know the answer on the installation question, but if youi're buying the dark colored sink flange, don't do it, it's just a coating and has all peeled off.

I just wiggle it and move it and pull hard. So far that has worked for me just fine. Twist it around. In my drain it can feel stuck but with some wiggling and moving it comes out. Good luck!

I was able to tighten mine up so that it does not turn at all. Make sure any old gasket or caulking materials are cleaned from both upper and lower surfaces. Use proper tools to avoid damage to the unit. If you feel that you will break the tightening nut or damage the threads, try a little "Loctite" between the upper portion of the nut and sink. You can get a replacement nut if things go wrong!!

You can attach a disposal directly to sink.. took my old disposal and put it right on new sink.

Standard install. Remove large retaining nut and rubber washer. Roll some plumbers putty into a small pliable snake 1/4 inch or so in diameter 5" long. Push putty onto the vessel sink drain area. Drop the drain into the hole, install rubber seal and retaining nut to the underside of the sink and snug. Wipe off the excess plumbers putty and put sink into the top of your vanity... Then the hard part starts...... The plumbing! Good luck.

I had no problem. It installed with no problems and I have been using it ever since, which has been over 6 months. This with my dad who has dementia trying to pull the sink (and succeeding on one occasion) from the wall. Perhaps you over-tightened it?

My plumber told me it is not possible to remove the low flow regulator without breaking the faucet. This is intentional due to government regulations. Bummer, I know.

I can't help you on this one. I was replacing most of the mechanism and the floor seal so I had to pull the toilet. Thinking back on it I suspect that was easier than trying to reach all the screws with the toilet in place.

I was able to un-jam mine, but kept the new one I bought. There isn't one of the "typical" allen wrench "unjamming" features. However, as I recall I pulled it out and by putting my hand in and trying to rotate the "innards" was able to find the offending piece of metal wedged along the outer circumference and get it out. Then it was fine - and I reinstalled it. Try that first before ordering new. These are smaller than typical units - in my case the sink is smaller so this unit takes up less cabinet space underneath. If you have to replace it, I'd suggest getting the same unit and not getting one of the larger units you find at Home Depot etc. Hope that helped!

Years ago I tried to use the existing flange. I must have had a problem enough to go out in the garbage and replaced the original with it. Since then and over the past 60 some odd years, every time I had to replace, I used what was provided for by the manufacturer even if it was the same manufacturer.

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this.
