We just got a sink without an overflow for the bathroom. Before I complete the plumbing for the thing, I was wondering if there exists a product where the stopper is actually located external to the basin - somewhere in the drain line before the trap. I think they make a similar product for bathtubs. If so, an "overflow" could also be placed external to the basin. Just wondering, since my googlebilities are not able to locate such a device.
Of course, I'm probably making a big deal over relatively little, but the image of our children flooding the upstairs is making me reconsider the sink.
OOh, like this:
Except there'd be a tee before the plunger (or above the plunger, if the plunger allows flow into the tube above) to act as the overflow. I guess you'd have to be able to bring the branch high enough to give you a usable level in the basin.
