| It's usually difficult to plumb gravity drainage in a basement, so the extra
cost is pretty high.
You can add one yourself. No code prevents it, as far as I know

| By wash basin do you mean the same thing as a utility sink (big, at
least 23", square, deep)? If so, then I see those all the time. -.1
is right, that it can be tough to plumb a basement for drainage,
especially with a septic system. But some houses (i.e., my mother's)
have a pump attached to the utility sink (or "set tub").

| 479.3 | yes - a cultural thing... | COAL05::WHITMAN | Acid Rain Burns my Bass | Thu Jul 01 1993 22:28 | 4 |
| Also heard them called a "deep sink". My grandmother had one in Marlboro 35
years ago. I think they just went out of style for "home" use.

| I've got one in my basement workshop, but the drain plumbing is right
out of Rube Goldberg....

| Sure, you can get them, typically made of fiberglass or plastic
these days.

Thanks for the replies. It sure seems strange to me that in
the 50 or so houses that I looked at before deciding on one in
Marlboro, I don't recall seeing one with a utility sink. Maybe not
a large enough sample? I looked at houses between 0 and 30 years old.
It turns out that my basement is rough plumbed for a toilet
if I decide to have one installed. Does anyone know any reason why I
couldn't install a utility sink instead of a toilet (other than the
obvious reason that I can't use the sink as a toilet although I suppose
I could use a toilet as a sink in a pinch!)?
Thanks again in advance.

| Gosh, I've still got a soapstone double-sink (set tubs) in my kitchen!
You mean I've got a collector's item here? : )

| I recently bought an enamaled cast iron jobbie.
It's a double sink monster with one deep sink
and one shallow.
$20 for a sink in perfect condition from
Krinsky's junkyard in Andover.
