3 Bolt vs EZ Mount – How are they different?
garbage disposal
Today I read in a popular blog that Rosun makes only EZ mount type garbage disposals, and that they are called ‘Quick Lock Sink Mount’. This is absolutely wrong. Rosun makes only 3-bolt type garbage disposals, atleast most of theirs are so.
This is what a 3-bolt system looks like;

See the 3-bolts? (one is on the other side, you can’t see). If you look at pictures of Rosun disposals you can see all of them have these 3 bolts.
The EZ mount system is mostly used by Waste King. This is a side by side comparison;

EZ Mount System
Seen mostly on Waste King garbage disposals, an EZ mount disposal is very simple to install.
So why are there two different mounting systems? Isn’t it better if all disposals followed a standard system?
I don’t know the story behind these mounting systems but both have their pros and cons. Let us see what they are:
EZ vs 3 Bolt – What are the differences?
The key difference between EZ mount and 3-bolt mounting is that the 3-bolt system has three bolts whereas the EZ system has none.
An EZ mount disposal is easy to install, it only takes a few minutes of your time. On the other hand, a 3-bolt disposal takes an additional 10-15 minutes.
One great advantage of a 3-bolt system over an EZ mount is it is more sturdy. The mount is usually made of stainless steel which is much durable. It can also be tightened more which reduces vibrations and noise.
On the other hand, the EZ system excels in convenience. Not only that the installation is easier, but the splash guard of such a disposal can also be easily removed for cleaning. The bottom side of splash guards gets dirty very fast so regular cleaning is much recommended. But in the case of a 3-bolt system, the splash guard cannot be accessed from the top. For this, the disposal will have to be dismounted. This is a real inconvenience and is a major drawback of the 3-bolt system.
