[Public-List] Sink hose and seacock size?

[Jeffrey]

Thanks John,

The sink I have has the drain welded to the sink. I'd just get a new
sink, but the hole in the counter is for that specific size sink.  It
might be worth investigating to see if this is a standard size. It
looks like a bar type sink. Perhaps a new sink with a smaller drain
would be best.
