Default "shallow" utility sink?

In the house Wife and I just bought, the previous owners configured
the laundry/heater room in such a strange way that the hookups for a
sink/utility tub are behind the door to the room. What this means is
there's only about 18" front to back depth in which to put a utility
sink/tub.

Anyone know of such a thing? A search of the usual home supply
suspects (big box stores, Northeast Plumbing Supply, etc.) turns up
nothing.

Or am I out of luck? 'Cause I really hate having to rinse out paint
brushes and the like in the kitchen sink or the downstairs bathroom...


I'm not at home right now but I believe my porcelain over cast iron
laundry sink (ca 1930) is about that size.
The faucet is a wall mount & thus the space required for a sink deck
mount is saved.

You might be able to get a surplus one on Craigslist

This one might do the trick but I find the "specs" somewhat
contradictory....width is give by two different numbers

Since the sink is fiberglass reinforced plastic, you could cut off the
back edge where the faucet mounts if necessary & go with a wall mount
faucet.
