Drilling a 1 1/4" hole in a stainless steel sink? Any suggestions?

Not sure about drilling a hole with it. It worked fine enlarging one. But with the right drill and lubricant, I think it should work.

The hole in our sink is 3 inches, but the strainer is 4 inches or more wide, so I would think it would sit fine in a 3-1/2 inch hole.

Sorry for the late answer...we ended up buying a 1-1/4"x8" 17 Gauge P.O. Plug Finger Touch Style Drain Without Overflow Holes - Chrome - #J-814-PCH from PlumbingSupply.com. ($50 plus shipping...ouch.) We are having the sink installed this week...fingers crossed that everything goes well. I can't wait to see this sink in action. It's perfect for our new 32" x 72" powder room.

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

I took a measurement under my rather cramped sink and it looked like the OD of the threaded portion is either 1 6/16 " or 1 7/16 ". It looks like it should fit through a 1.5 opening (I believe that is what my sink is).

I installed my drain through a 1/2" vessel sink and a 1.125" wood vanity top with no problem. There is another 1" of thread still showing under the counter top.

This water dispenser requires a minimum hole of 3/4" and no more than 1 1/4".

Will not take a 1/4 inch drill bit. I doubt there is an adapter for that size. The orifice opening is only 3/16 inch.

I bought this sink and itbis installed with small side of sink in th right....you can.turn.it. th inky advice i have is to be sre to make th hole where your water fixture goes in th center. Without thinking i put it centered on th big part of th sink and it cant reach th small part...my granite guy didnt offer up this thought. It works though because i have fixture with pull out to reach th small side....which is where i have my disposal! Good sink for th cost....it does get scratches....this is typical for this gauge of sink/stainless.

Standard install. Remove large retaining nut and rubber washer. Roll some plumbers putty into a small pliable snake 1/4 inch or so in diameter 5" long. Push putty onto the vessel sink drain area. Drop the drain into the hole, install rubber seal and retaining nut to the underside of the sink and snug. Wipe off the excess plumbers putty and put sink into the top of your vanity... Then the hard part starts...... The plumbing! Good luck.

Either a sprayer or a soap dispenser should work in the 4th. (furthest to the right) hole.

The grid did not quite fit my sink so I returned it. It was of high quality and worth the money. The hole size was complimentary with the standard sink size...which I would think to be the 3 1/2" which you mentioned.

The 1/4" drill is truly a quarter inch and quarter inch pins are also. You now know that.What you can do is take a small piece of wood that will rest against the pin as would a shelf. Then use a light hammer to tap it in place. It won't take much force so there is no need to act as if you are trying to drive a nail. After the pin is in place, grip the pin and the block (for leverage) and rotate the pin back and forth a few times. That will loosen it to finger tight.In reality, the tighter the pin hole, the better the support.

Unless it's going to be very precise and match the 3 other holes, I be leary of doing that. If you have the right tools though, certainly, the capability is there to accommodate a 4th hole. The sink itself is sturdy enough too so from that point of view, I wouldn't foresee it as being an issue. That's just my own personal take on it though. I've been extremely happy with this sink.

I don't think 1/2: thicknedss will leave enough threads for a solid tiightening.. Can you drill out enough material surroiunding the center hole to leave about 1/4" for the threads?

I drilled 1 inch holes in my granite, and it worked great. You could probably go a little smaller if you had to.

It will fit in a standard sink where all the holes are 4" from center to center and 1 3/8" diameter.
