We are going to replace the cabinets and add a granite counter in our   kitchen and part of the job is moving the sink so all the related plumbing   lines will be relocated. The contractor says for us to purchase our own undermount sink and a   disposer.  We found a good deal on a 10 inch deep stainless steel sink   which will be another inch or so deeper due to the undermounting in the   granite. I found a 3/4 hp Sears Kenmore disposer (7 yr in home warranty!) and was   wondering if this monster would be a problem to install with so deep a   sink. All the pipes and drains have to be redone so it's not a question of retro   fitting them. Does it sound like all those traps and twisty pipes will go in ok with   this arrangement? Don't forget the dishwasher hookup! Thanks for reassurances or pointing out possible problems! Joy

Dump the Sears crap and get a real disposal. A 1 hp model. In-Sink-erator works just fine.http://www.insinkerator.com/product/product.php?id=206&template=hhd It will all fit just fine with the amount of plumbing fittings available out there. Bubba- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - If you were trying to put a deeper sink into an existing location, it could be a problem, depending on how far below the sink the waste pipe coming out of the wall is.   Since you're moving the sink, it should not be a problem.  The disposal will have a diagram that shows the mounting limitations and the plumber can handle it.  If you need to consider other models, they should be available at the manufacturers website. 3/4 hp is fine, I've never had one more powerful and never had any problems.

Don't forget the dishwasher hookup! Thanks for reassurances or pointing out possible problems! Joy I don't know how big the Kenmore disposal is, but I'd lean towards something from the Insinkerator Evolution series, not just for size, but for quality. See your choices here..they even have a Compact model for tight spaces: http://www.insinkerator.com/product/selector.php They make the Compact a bit smaller by using less insulation so it is *supposedly* less quiet than some of their other models. I have one, and with the water running, I can't even tell that it is on. My old Kenmore could be heard across the street! Another feature to look for is how the drain shield is installed. I don't know about the current Kenmore, but the shield on my old one was sandwiched between the sink and the chrome ring that holds the drain in. After a few years the rubber began to rip, which not only let noise escape, but it also spit water up at you while it was running. To replace it meant dismantling everything under the sink to drop the disposal. The Insinkerator uses a removable shield that just drops in the top of the drain. If it ever gets old, you just toss it and insert a new one. It is baffled in such a way that it causes the running water to muffle the noise - a pretty neat design.
