On Insinkerator Badger disposals which side do you guys place gasket on discharge elbow. Manufacturer claims to put gasket between elbow and disposal. I did it this way 30 years ago . Occasionally would see one leaking . Saw one where the gasket was slid over the discharge elbow first , then the 2 hole plate screwed over the top. This is the way I have installed every disposal for the last 30 years. I argued with a landlord today about it. He says you're doing it wrong. I then demonstrated both ways . My way you could not move or rotate elbow. Manufacturer recommended way you can move elbow and is not as tight . By placing gasket over the elbow the flange on the end keeps gasket from squeezing inside disposal and therefore it squeezes against the sides of the opening. At least this is the way I do it and have never had a callback or leak due to improper gasket location.
Was wondering if any of you all do the same thing . Apologies if topic has been covered in the past
