It's very cool... looks like a 3/8-inch fitting of some kind... with
an elbow and a cap... it looks like you could attach a tube to the
fitting at some point if you wanted to use it out of a sink... which
is, I suppose how we got here... it looks like there's glue or
plumbers putty on the inside and presumably on the outside too, and
also a rubber washer on the outside also for added spill and drip
protection.
It's looks easy enough to do it yourself... all you have to do is
drill a hole the size of the outside diameter of the fitting you're
using - make it a tight fit.
Then push the fitting into the hole, throw some plumbers putty on the
inside and screw the inside tight - you could even use some plumbers
thread tape if you're extra paranoid about leaking. Then repeat the
procedure on the outside. If you're using a rubber gasket on the
outside do you need plumbers putty too? I think if you screw the
outside nut on an extra 1/2 to 3/4 turn you're tight enough against
the gasket to prevent leaking... I think at that point the plumbers
putty doesn't do anything but erode the rubber gasket... ...if you're
like me it'll take 3/4 of a day, every tool in the garage and 24
trips to the hardware store... but it is very sharp.
Best,
Matt

Mr. Lambrecht... would you be able to post a photo of the drain faucet somewhere?
Thanks,

Attaching a small plastic faucet, found In gardening supplies, is really easy to attach to a Jobo processor. It makes draining a breeze.

Dear Friends,
Thank you to all who replied. The consensus seems to be drainage - always a good idea in my profession - and I am going to try the experiment of setting a syphon to work into the sink after each session. If it works it should remove most of the weight and I can tip the rest out. I am happy with the thought of not collecting a lot of stale water in the place - I tipped out the water bath of a Nova processor that had cycled hot and cold for years and it was a lesson in natural history all right....

PS: Advice now sought on a suitable device that will wash 20" x 24" prints. I have been using the bathtub but I think there must be a better way. Water will become almost as expensive as petrol in the future and I want to save it.
