That looks like a bog standard single sink strainer/outlet. What
difference is it to a standard part? Any chance of a pic underneath?


It most certainly is not a standard sink outlet. I have tried fitting the
standard (stainless steel) one, and ignoring the fact it comes with an
overflow (which this does not have), the profile of the composite sink
just doesn't fit the standard top piece.

As far as I can see, the top piece *has* to have that profile. Anything
else, and it won't seat into the sinkhole.


I've got 2 here. The bigger one has a body diameter of around 63mm, the
smaller around 53mm.
They both have overflows, as do nearly all new ones, but the plugs are
there to block them if not required.
