I saw a trough sink in stainless made for a kitchen. I would like to use it in a bath. Is there anyway to convert a kitchen style drain to a bath style? Is there a reducer or adaptor made?

Yes, Most kitchen and bath sink drains aregoing into 1-1/2" pipe in the wall, on newer houses. Old homes often had 1-1/4" rough drains in the bathrooms for lavs. If you have the 1-1/2" drain in the wall, it should be easy. You will need a 1-1/2" trap adapter to replace the small one you probably have now. If this doesn't help, then we'll need more information.

Thanks, this I know. I would like a sink with a stopper with the pull rod, which would have to go in the larger kitchen sink hole."Democracy is when the people know exactly what they want, and get it good and hard." HL Mencken
OKWhat you are looking for is see if you can find a way to go from the 3" (??) or so hole for sink strainer basket to a 1 1/2" hole used for a normal basin drain (popup).You might see if you can get the sink from the manufacter either with the smaller hole or as a blank and cut your own.Or start look in their full line catalogs. Would not be surprised to find that they have such a version.
There are turn type drain closers for commercial sinks. Not quite the same as pop up, but close. There is an 'L' shaped handle on the bottom of the sink that you turn to close or open. So I think that would work here, but I'm not certain of the sizes.
Thanks guys. That is what I needed to know."Democracy is when the people know exactly what they want, and get it good and hard." HL Mencken
