Drain Options / how to attach?

9 years ago
I bought this vanity and am attempting to put it together. I need some information about what drain to use and how to attach the sink to the counter top. It is unlike any I have seen before. Thanks!

    Thank you for the prompt response; I've actually adjusted all my plumbing and heights for the drawers, so that's all good. My problem lies into how to attach the sink to the top of the counter tip and what kind of drain to use. Typically (or at least in my limited experience), the drain is used to hold the sink and counter together, you tighten down, and then just use a sealant to close things out around the sink. in this case, the hole in the counter is much too large to be used, and the drain hole in the sink requires a very narrow drain top to be able to attach and still have the white drain sink sit on top. Am i expected to glue the sink down? What have others done before? Thanks!

    You are correct. Usually the faucets come with the pop-up or regular drain and hoes that allow you to make the connection to the plumbing and tighten it. That should be enough to hold it down. However if you want to reinforce it you can use a sealant (Optional). Most individuals just tighten it with the drain.

    Hi, you seemed to have missed my point. I understand that typically that's how it's done, but how do I deal with what I have here (the above option does not work).

    Hi Ehabness,

    If the drain is not the correct size the sink will not be able to be tighten to the vanity. You might need to use a short drainpipe that allows you to do this. Otherwise a regular drainpipe will leave it loose.

    If there are doubts about the installation please feel free to reach us
