How to install Garbage Disposal circuit

Garbage is a great thing to dispose of when you want and disposal will do just that! Firstly gather your material, 12/2 romex, 20 amp breaker, 20amp single-pole switch, proper tools, proper boxes and fittings. Then begin to route your romex from disposal side of sink electrical panel. The best way to run this wire is through floor but sometimes that is not possible. Routing through wall space, running up or down between wall studs is the most difficult. Sometimes you will have to penetrate the floor or ceiling base plates. This is the doubled up layers of wood in top and bottom of the wall. That will take you to the attic, crawl space or basement. If you tear the wall covering off a regular hand drill using 3/4in paddle bit should work for just this one hole most of the time. Thickness of upper/lower plates will determine. Sometimes 45deg high amp angle drill and a 8-12inch augur bit is needed due to depth. Some of the very old homes(100yrs and older) have oak and some have 24 inch footers that block your route under the corners of the house. I can’t go into a large part of wire routing because of so many variances. If you get your wire run and need help with the wire connections only, then it would be good time to use my service. Most of the time pulling the wire is technically easy just a lot of hard work. So getting that done before asking any questions will benefit you. That it for now.

If you are stuck on something else that is fine too.
