[Public-List] Sink hose and seacock size?

[John Boor]

Jeff.

I would look at replacing the sink drain with a smaller Dia output tube or
put the reducer right at the drain .  If not available then a 2in seacock
would be my second choice,  with a hose reduction you run the risk a
blockage at reduction point if it is at sink end you should be able to
clear.
