Professional Plumber's Putty
The interface between the stainless steel sink and the disposal flange requires a non-hardening sealant to maintain a watertight bond. Over time, the sealant can dry out or pull away due to the kinetic energy and vibration of the grinding cycle. Replacing the putty restores the hydraulic barrier at the sink opening.

Sink Flange Fiber Gasket
This gasket provides the necessary friction and seal between the backup flange and the underside of the sink. If it becomes saturated or degraded by cleaners, it loses its structural integrity, preventing the mounting assembly from applying even upward pressure on the sink flange, leading to leaks.

Stainless Steel Sink Flange
In cases of severe corrosion or pitting on the underside of the flange rim, a smooth seal cannot be achieved with putty alone. Replacing the metal flange ensures a perfectly flat mating surface for the sealant and the sink basin orifice.
