    What drain should I use for a vessel sink
    I've been told you need to use a special drain for vessel sinks to get them to drain. What are some of the recommended brands that work well in this application?

    I don't believe a vessel requires any special drain. Try this site for more info and install directions. How To Install A Vessel Sink & Faucet
    Good luck,

    Where you bought the vessel sink, you should find the applicable drain available

    I like the 'Flip Top' drain assemblies for vessel sinks -- These allow for more air circulation when the vessel is being drained.
