InSinkEratorFDT-OO Flexible Discharge Tube, Retracts and extends 6 in. to 10 in, White & Black

If you are replacing an old In-sinkerator garbage disposal unit, with a new model in-sinkerator you will need this flex tube. My old unit was about 11/2 inches longer than the new one, my straight tube would not fit.But the flex tube worked just fine. I hope this will help.

I installed a new garborator and the drain pipe was slightly offset and the provided garborator drain didn't fit correctly. This flexible one was exactly what I needed.

Local big-box stores did not stock quite the equivalent item, but it is the sort of thing that should come with every new disposer. I used this to connect the drain outlet from a MOEN GXS-75 to existing sink plumbing, requiring an offset of about 1.5 inches. Slipping the metal compression washer over the inlet collar was easy after running hot water over the collar for a half-minute. This item also, as many have noted, does not come with directions -- a major fault in itself. And why it had to be "made in China" is a question to be asked.

I had partially installed the 1/2 hp InSinkErator when I discovered the discharge tube that came with it was an inch too small!I looked through my box of extra plumbing tubes, but couldn't find a workable solution. So I began searching. After a half hour or so I found this. It looked like what I was looking for, so I ordered it.There are no real instructions, so I had to think it out while looking at the InSinkErator instructions. I determined that the small washer went into the end of the tube with the flange and the other 2 washers fit on both ends of the metal piece that secured the tube to the InSinkErator. Once every thing was in place & tightened up I ran the water... no leakage. Then I plugged in and turned on the InSinkErator, it worked perfectly. I will monitor for leaks, but it should be good.

Read the reviews and thought, "Boy there's a LOT of people who can't figure out how to install a plastic pipe"! 🤣First off, the pipe supplied with the disposal is too short to connect to my "J"" drain.Looking for a "fix" I found this item made by Insinkerator. FTD-000, Flexible Discharge Tube, longer, able to adjust, seems like a solution. NOT! 😡First off, there is NO diagram, or Instructions on the package. Ok, a flange, a tube, a couple of seals. What's so hard?? Well..... After installing it 4 times, and each time the tube pulled out through the metal flange I called the toll free help line.I spoke to someone, explained my problem, and after verifying the serial # of my disposal, they told me I was not supposed to use the gray plastic seal. So, while on the phone, I reinstalled it again. And again it fell out of the flange that bolts to the disposal.I expressed my concerns as there were no pictures, or instructions on the package. So how was I supposed to know I shouldn't have to use one of the seals, (which did fit in the pipe, and I thought added support to the thin plastic lip of the tube). In addition I told them the flange they supplied with in this "kit" had a larger opening than the one supplied with the disposal. The "lip" of the tube is thin and not very wide. Therefore any downward force at all to open or adjust the "bellows", makes the lip fall out through the flange. AND after multiple installation attempts, (where you need to distort and bend the "lip" to get the flange onto the pipe, the lip "cracked".I also told them IF the pipe they supplied with a $130 disposal was just 3 inches longer, I would not have had to spend an additional $13 for a item that was in my opinion, poorly designed!!! Well, that's when they got their Supervisor.... After repeating my story, they are sending me another Flexible Discharge Tube, no charge. It will take 7-10 days to arrive.... 🥴 So I put my gloves and mask on and went down to Lowe's. (I was hoping to avoid all that and that's why I had ordered everything on line). I'm trying to follow instructions and self isolate..... But it's already been 6 days total not being able to use the disposal and 1/2 the sink. The first disposal arrived damaged! (Another story).Well at Lowe's I found there are 2 different discharge tubes for Insinkerators. One is 4", the other is 7". I purchased the 7" tube for $3.48. Back home, mounted it to the disposal, tightened the nut on the "J" drain.And guess what? It works!! Why don't they just include a pipe 3 inches longer, and forget that blasted poorly designed thin piece of crap that they sell for $13 !!🤔I could have had this thing working 3 days ago! 😱
