Sink has no drain overflow, but faucet drain does

[FNLPP]

hello!

I am remodeling my bathroom and have run into another plumbing "problem".I purchased an Ikea "Braviken" and the overflow mechanism is not exactly standard.

The problem; I love the faucet I purchased but, as usual, it has the overflow holes in the drain stem that the Ikea sink does not accommodate for.

Is there any way to plug these holes? I was even thinking if I could get like a 3/4" thick washer at the proper diameter. I Have seen replacement stems but This original one looks really nice with the logo, and I think I would have a hard time matching the matte black.

Any thought appreciated,

What about the overflow hole. Ikea sucks when it comes to there drain compatibility. .. Won't work

A piece of pipe with a second washer on top of it, might work.

Here is a commercial hand sink with a simular drain:

You can buy a pop-up drain assembly without the overflow holes. Try Home Depot.

You sink does have an overflow hole in it. Are you plugging that hole?

If all fails I will do this, but I have not been able to find matte black finish to match the faucet, only oil rubbed bronze. Thanks

No, I will attempt to connect it down a little lower using some of the ikea plumbing and some standard. Have not looked into that to much yet!
