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 kitchensinkor the downstairs bathroom...

Thanks to JoeSpareBedroom and a few others, I realize I was not clear
in my explanation of my need. For one thing, "shallow" refers to the
front-to-back dimension of thesink, not depth of thesinkbowl. There
isn't really anywhere to move the existing hookups, which are on a wet
wall shared with a bathroom. For one thing, the only real available
walls are block - this is the lower level of a bi-level and the wall
are block up to about 4' and then drywall over stud (and outside walls
to boot).

For those asking for layout to offer moving options, I have created a
rough, not-to-scale sketch (thanks to MS Paint) which I've posted athttp://yfrog.com/11laundryroomp

As you can see in the sketch, we're constrained by the HVAC and water
heater that can't be moved, and the doors that have to be dealt with -
both the two doors into the room (garage on left, family room on
right) and the doors to the washer, dryer, and upright freezer.

The hook-ups behind the one door are already there, so if there's a sink that would fit, that would be the least-difficult option. While
not perfect, it would be better (I hope) than nothing.

Thanks for all help and suggestions!

what did you decide? *btw I finally got around to measuring that
1930's cast iron sink.....
18 1/16" inches wall to front edge, so an old one with wall mount
faucet would *but might not be the look you want

cheers

A stand alone 'laundry tub' on it's own legs might be just about the
right depth (18 inches or so) to fit behind door?
Mount the taps above sink on or in the wall, extra height of taps
above the sink is a help if needing to fill buckets/pails etc. If
there is too much splashing with taps mounted higher a short length of
hose can be attached which will hang down and drip into sink when not
in use. A flexible spout such as that is also useful for washing soil
off root crop from the garden etc.
I have an old laundry tub somewhere but have seen them new for less
than $100 complete. Some are fiberglass/plastic others are enamelled.
Not seen a stainless one; probably too expensive and unecessary!
Also BTW the taps if necessary could be mounted at the side not behind
the sink? It's all going to be behind door anyway!
