DANCO (DG2-P) Disposal Genie 2.0 Kitchen Sink Strainer, Stopper and Splash Guard with Food Scraper 1-Pack Black 10921A

Q: Is it fit for waste king l8000?

The manufacturer needs to make it clear that this doesn't fit Waste King "drain shoes" (sink flange, basically the drain into the disposal). The Disposal Genie I could be filed down to fit the smaller Waste King opening, but the Disposal Genie II doesn't fit and can't be modified to fit. Shame on Danco for not making compatibility information clear in the product information.

Q: Does the top recess into the drain hole so it's flush? Version 1 sticks up in my sink so I can't sit large items in the sink flat.

Thank you for contacting IHG Direct. Yes, the DGII will sit flush inside the sink. This greats a better "stop" of water as the DGII is a strainer AND stopper where the DGI is just a strainer.

Q: Is this to be used with the black rubber fluted flange over the garbage disposal or is it supposed to replace that flange?

You should leave the black rubber fluted flange over the garbage disposal and then put the Danco in. It goes down between the fluted part of the flange.
