Ok, here is a newbie question for you, be gentle !
Am installing a Kohler cast iron sink, replacing an old stainless sink. Currently, I have an In-sink-erator garbage disposal on one side, regular sink basket drain on the other bowl. I want to keep this same arrangement on the new Kohler sink, but my question is:
The hole(s) in the bottom of the cast iron sink have a large, curved radius lead-in to the hole. I am just now noticing that the other sainless sinks I am looking at have a rather flat area where the flange seems to mate up with nicely. However, I am noticing that the disposal flange and the Kohler sink basket flange both have quite a right angle underneath the flange, very small radius. This really seems a little strange when I set these in the hole. Am I supposed to be using a special flange for the disposal and basket mounting?
I have looked high and low for a special flange, no one seems to make one. I can only assume that this means that all the parts out there must work.
So, I guess load up the underside of the flange with plenty of silicone before installing and completely remove the excess after tightening the nut underneath?
This one is on a stainless sink. The cast sink will leave less space to snap in the ring.
