Bathroom Faucet Drain: Compatibility

My sink does not have an overflow, can I install my Moen drain? Overflow drains have a hole in the upper drain assembly that lines up to a channel in an overflow style sink. This prevents sinks from overflowing with water when the drain is closed or clogged. If an incompatible style of drain is installed, water can leak under the sink.. If the sink does not have an overflow, it is recommended to replace the drain with a non overflow drain, service kit # 140780 (available in Chrome, Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Antique Bronze). For more information on drains, visit Bathroom Faucet Drains.
