Author: steve (CA) How long does the shank of the drain need to be? This one uses 2" IPS threads and the flange is 3 3/8" diameter. Does it need to have overflow holes? [i.postimg.cc] Edited 1 times.

Author: bharper (MO) Thank you for posting. No there is no overflow. Just the hole in the bottom and two faucet holes at the top.

Author: bharper (MO) Oversized Utility Drain Assembly?? Ordered it and received it today - doesn't fit = too small. Thanks. I talked with a local sink guy - he thinks it is an intuitional sink or maybe a one-off utility sink. No manufacture marks. Only a date stamp and some numbers. Might have to just give up and go with another sink.
