Are there sink drain bodies without the holes that allow water to drain from the overflow chamber? I bought a bathroom vanity that has a very thin sink without an overflow chamber, so when I inserted the drain and started tightening the nut from below I noticed the holes in the drain were showing. I've never run across this problem before (only my third sink ever) so I was very puzzled and tired so I quit work for the night. I just found a drawing that showed the overflow chamber that I don't have and it all makes sense now. Do the drains without holes have special names?

PO Plugs without overflow opening.

the ones I use are extra heavy Brass with a strainer built in like Sexauer NOT a cheap item but there are knock offs much cheaper and less quality

Your very welcome, try an old plumbing supply they maybe happy do unload the old stock.

I had to make repairs to two basins installed prior to 1917 in Manhattan and I happened to walk into an old hardware store and they had the exact replacement part I needed the old gentleman was kind enough to put this heavy brass drain outlet on a scale and charged me the going rate of scrap metal.

For $3.12 I could not go wrong huh
