Mounting the Control Center/Plumbing Connections

MOUNTING THE CONTROL CENTER

Use the flanges at the back of the control center enclosure and only mount panel in the upright vertical position (door hinge is on the left). See Figure 1.

Locate control center within sight of disposer per local codes. Locate any remote control station within sight of disposer per local codes.

If box is mounted to the sink table, recess the box so that the buttons do not extend beyond the table’s edge.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

Two solenoid valves with flow control valves pre-installed (1 GPM and 7 GPM) are packed with the control center. The syphon breaker is supplied with all complete disposer packages (packed separately).

The solenoid valve is supplied with a 24 V coil. Make certain that the valves are plumbed according to the water flow direction arrows marked on the valve or the valves will not function properly.

The flow control valve regulates all water flowing into the disposer. This conserves water and prevents overloading. Check direction of water flow arrows.

Syphon breaker must be installed above the sink flood plane per local plumbing codes. Check direction of water flow arrows.
