You then get a simple, cheap BENDABLE PVC pitting from HD that screws on to the collar of the drain (with some plumber's tape). The other end of that PVC feeds to a hole/fitting in the side of the TD that you screw a garden hose into for draining.

madjack wrote:Ira, a correction in your thinking...the plumbers putty goes under the flange of the strainer and is then pushed down into the hole, the rubber gasket then goes over the stainer under the sink and then it should have a washer and then the big nut...if it does not have a large washer, I highly advise cutting one out of thin cardboard, other wise the rubber gasket will try to twist out of the way as the nut pinches it against the bottom of the sink...in another life, I was actually a licensed plumber...I would also advise against the 3" strainer and go with the 1" bar sink strainer...you will not be able to overflow the sink with it in place instead of the 3" unless you turn a hi-pressure hose on it...also the 3" hole is gonna be hard to cut cleanly with the method you descibed...you can take the sink to any electrician or AC place and get them to use a Greenlee punch to put a clean hole init for the 1" drain...but the choice is yours
