American sink in a British plumbing system
Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 11:33 am
Hi, I've found a great sink. But, it's from a US company, so the sink waste connector is imperial. My worry is that if I buy this wonderful sink I wont be able to connect it up to the waste plumbing in my bathroom.
More details.... It's a top mounted glass bowl vessel. The bare glassware has a waste hole that is 1 3/4 inches wide. I can buy the bare glass vessel, but it has a round bottom so I feel that I should also buy the mounting kit, which is basically a pop-up waste with an integrated concave support to hold the sink bowl securly on the mounting surface. But the thread on the sink outlet is American standard...
So is there some sort of adapter that can be used to connect the outflow to a metric UK plumbing system? Hope somone can offer some advice?
