Good morning,

I would appreciate some professional advice. I have a sink and a faucet, but I am unsure whether they are compatible.

The sink is without an overflow. According to the plumbing company, a faucet without a pop-up drain assembly must be used in this case.

My desired faucet (a Swedish subsidiary of Villeroy & Boch, called Gustavsberg) looks like this:

Does this combination fit together in terms of overflow/drain assembly?

Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

The actual faucet is not related to the drain. This simply means that faucets can be ordered with or without a drain, as well as with or without an overflow connection.

For a sink without an overflow, you should use a basin mixer without a rod-operated drain assembly and a drain valve without overflow function (no push button or pop-up drain).

....UPS.... in my post, it should have continued with ordering. But @AOLNCM has already written.

Thank you for the information. As I understand it now, the above faucet is basically usable.
@Neige, what is the overflow connection? Does the above faucet have it?

(sorry, this is the first time I’m ordering a faucet)

An overflow connection is part of the drain fitting that helps the water in the basin—if water is accidentally left running—to drain away. Since you have a basin without an overflow, it was mentioned:

meaning one with a lever on the side, behind, or similar, and not one that includes a lift mechanism as part of the faucet, and

This way, the water can continuously drain. In other words, the drain valve in the basin either cannot or should not be closed.
