Installing the Farm Sink in the Kitchen

The Kohler "Dickinson" sink in the Quechee home's kitchen has the look and feel of an old-fashioned farm sink. It's enameled cast iron and it seems to sit lower and has an enameled front plate to it. The deep sink presents some unique problems when installing the garbage disposer. Plumbing contractor Doug Buchanan has already installed the basket strainer for the disposer. Doug gets under the sink and slips the disposer into position. There's a gasket there that holds it into place with a clip. Next he needs to modify the S-trap to accommodate the lower sink. Once modified it attached with a nylon washer. The last step is to attach the dishwasher line to the disposer as all the waste from the dishwasher needs to go through the disposer.
