I purchased a drain plug to accept a 3/4 in. threaded opening. Do I drill a hole slightly less than 3/4" or need a special drill bit to install?

What I would do is take the drain plug to the hardware store and ask them. I have had trouble with leakage on some of my rain barrels at the spigot sight. I will never put in another spigot again, because of the leakage. I dip into the top or use a water pump.

i drilled a 3/4" hole in a lowes food grade bucket and it worked fine, it has not leaked, the gasket that it comes with is somewhat cone shaped so it fit well.

use a 1/4'' drill bit, then a 1'' uni-bit to ream 3/4'' hole. it leaves less material to file for fine adjustment if needed

you need to measure the chuch hole what ever size it is will be what your looking for 3/8.. 1/4.. 5/16..

Drain plug works with any sink with same diameter 1 5/8" hole and I dont think overflow has anything to do it!

The hole is about 1 3/4"s across. I took a handful from my refrig ice maker and dropped them in, then inserting the draw and it worked perfectly

Hi Virginia, I am afraid you have to drill two 1/4 " holes as It calls for in the instructions.Regards,Guenter

Yes, it's designed for 3/4" holes. In a 3/4" hole it's a little loose so if you have a drill bit just a tiny bit smaller (probably metric), try that. It's much more stable. BTW, the things work beautifully if the piece you're holding has flat edges. If they're rounded at all, the work piece will jump all over the place.

The easiest way to get it right is simple, because hole sizes vary depending on the faucet. Measure across the threads, which is probably somewhere between 3/4" and 1". The hole should be just big enough for the threaded portion to go through the holw without forcing it.

yes, you'll have to drill the current 3/8" holes out to 1/2". it took me more time to find and chuck up my bit than to drill the holes.

Hi Wayne! We have this bowl and love it! We receive a lot of compliments on it and my kids use it regularly. there are 3 small round over flow holes that measure roughly 1/4" or slightly less. I did not use the plug it came with because we have oil rubbed bronze fixtures so I purchased a drain in the finish i needed. This sink is used i nour pwder room. I hope this helps. K

Don't need anything special. I purchased a standard drain assembly at Lowes....looks great.

I used this in an existing hole replacing a different Moen faucet and needed no modifications. I believe the standard is 1 3/8" hole.

I drilled a 3/4" hole with a Milwaukee hole saw and it fits in that perfectly and stays. I don't have the bracket anymore but I would have to say it is 3/4".

in the end i used the 3/4 inch diameter (internal) version for better water flowi used a 1 3/8 inch masonry bit and sealed around the edge with epoxyit was a nice tight fit and has not leakedi was careful only to use the epoxy on the inner section so as not to prevent screwing on the seal ringi feel that the 3/4 inch version should be better for a 1 1/2 inch diameter holegood luck - i hope the hole is not too long as the tubing is not. i am certain the 1/2 inch version will be too small based on my experience

Hi Melvin, My shaft is 3/32 but if I remember right, I had to drill the hole a little bigger to fit my shaft. Hope this helps!!Paul
