Default Basin waste top diameter

Hi

I am just about to start a "simple" job of replacing the taps and waste
on

a
cloakroom sink prior to redecorating. I have just noticed that the

diameter
of the chrome top of the basin waste I have bought is 6cm (2.5/16")

whereas
the old one is 6.3cm (2.7/16")

I am concerned that the new one will be too small and not fill the hole
in
the basin. The sink was fitted approx. 27 years ago. Has the standard
changed since then or are there different diameters available?

The one I have purchased is a MACDEE 1.1/4" BSP x 3.1/2" tail

Any advice would be appreciated

Thank you

John


Extremely unlikely that the difference in size of the rim will cause any
problem at all.


Thanks for the reply, I will try it and see.
