So I installed two identical pedestal sinks (Kohler Memoires) with two identical faucets (Price Fister - Marielle Series) in my master bath room about a month ago. I noticed a leak in the one sink immeadiatley. The leak is on the drain piece where the gasket meets the actual sink. I have taken the damn thing apart twice now.
I just replaced the rubber gasket because I thought that it was bad (the inner part of thegasket appeared to be chewed up). The new gasket is a generic piece that appears to fit well. Upon fitting everything back together the leak was there again.
I checked to make sure that there where no flaws in the porcelain where the gasket meets, because I thought that maybe there was a void allowing the water to leak through. The porcelain checked out ok.
I have used plumbers putty and the supplied rubber gasket on the underside of the drain (on the wetside of the sink).
I also used teflon tape on all of the threads where the tail piece, drain nut, and rubber gasket all meet.
The other thing that might make a difference is that the two faucets appear to have different pieces. Its hard to describe but it appears that the two faucets were made at different times or in different factories. I thought that may have been my problem at first because, I thought that the rubber gasket mave have set on the shelf for a while and had gotten dry or cracked. But with the gasket replaced it seems that it is not my problem.
Anyone that can help me,please let me know what is going on. This seems so simple, but yet I am having no luck. Two sinks set up the same way, with two different results.
