    Small laundry room utility tub
    I have a very small space between my washing machine and the wall of only 15 inches. Anyone know where I can get a utility tub that will fit there or where I could get one made? Thanks Tom

    You could try a bar sink, you won't have the depth but will have a sink.

    Mustee has just what you're looking for, (see image) check it out at E. L. Mustee & Sons - UTILATUB® & UTILATWIN® Laundry Tubs
    Scroll down to 15F. For a floor mount or 15W for a wall hung model. Don't forget the sink MUST be vented. Good luck

    Hi Guys

    Tom that 15F and 15W model are actually 23" wide, so not gonna work in this case. Here, when I thought you had found a laundry tub 15" wide I got kind of excited as I thought some of my customers may appreicate that small a tub in certain spaces some day down the road... never know! Unfortunately, at the very bottom of the schematic for the 15F and 15W models they clearly show the tub is 23" wide. Nice try though!!

    The smallest laundry tub I found is a MUSTEE at 18" wide. Still won't work with the measurements presented, but if backbay can shift things abit this may work. Check it out @ E. L. Mustee & Sons - 12C UTILATUB Floor Mount Laundry/Utility tubs ? Combo Pack?Everything You Need to Install in One Box!

    Here's another nice sink, but again, 18" wide: http://www.mascobath.com/products.php?product_id=105

    If Backbay wants to get creative he can look at a commercial drop in sink I found that is 10" wide:

    John Boos PB-DISINK101410 Drop In Hand Sink 10" x 14" x 10" Bowl Stainless Deck Mount | ACityDiscount

    Just need to build a top to drop the sink in.

    If he/she wants to get super creative they can build their own sink from an aquarium or some granite tiles and silicone... ;)

    I have decided that I will put a full size tub in the garage. The plumbing has to make a 90 degree turn and go through the wall. It has to be done and this is the only solution. Thanks for your help, Tom
