One wall of my garage abuts a dead space under a stair landing and I want to make use of that space to install a utility sink (there's easy access to drain, vent and water in this dead space).

I could open the wall and frame a niche for the sink -- but that would make the sink awkward to use (from the garage, the floor of the stair landing is at eye-level) .

The ideal solution would be to have the sink on a pull-out, so that I could pull it into the garage space when I need it, and push it back into the wall when I don't.

Providing sufficient play in the supply lines is no problem. But any suggestions on how to connect the drain? This would get very occasional use- maybe a couple times a month, and there is easy access to the in-wall plumbing to maintain it.

Suppose you have a low sink, or even a floor sink, in the space under the stairs. Your roll-out sink would drain, without a trap, into the low/floor sink.

Instead of a sink below, suppose you have a linear drain, such as they put in showers. You could remove the grill, and have your sink-on-wheels or sink-on-tracks drop its water anywhere along the path. There would be a p-trap on the output of the linear drain.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
