BLANCO, Truffle 441324 Kitchen Garbage Disposal Flange, 3.5″

This piece is simple decoration that snaps into the existing Insinkerator flange that’s used to mount your disposer. Mount the disposer normally then this piece snaps in. It’s not meant to hold the disposer or be any more than a cosmetic change so your disposer flange looks like the sink material, rather than bright stainless steel.The included instructions say that if you’re using an Insinkerator Evolution *Pro* series, you have to remove the OEM Insinkerator rubber splash guard from the flange and use the included Blanco one on the bottom of this trim piece, then install it.However, I was using an Insinkerator Evolution *Essential* model and these instructions don’t work at all. I could not snap in the ring into the flange. So I removed the Blanco rubber stopper completely and this piece snapped in perfectly to the flange. I then pressed the Blanco rubber flange down into the Insinkerator flange from the top and it then fit perfectly.Included strainer/stopped works well, although be aware if you unscrew the nut too far, you’ll undo the entire thing and the bolt will then drop into your disposer. You’ll see what I mean when you attempt to unscrew the nut in the center.
