Hi, I am new to this forum. Just wondering what items are required and how to connect the washing machine (front loader if that matters) to the kitchen tap/sink without modifying any existing configuration (I am only renting so may not be able to install additional inlet or drainage system).
I have attached the existing set up under the kitchen sink for reference. I am keen to DIY and would appreciate your thoughts or any advice. Thanks in advance
Cheers, May
Hi May (@CML),
A warm welcome to the Bunnings workshop community and thank you for your question.
Start by having a read through How to connect a dishwasher as the process is the same.
You have everything in place to connect your washing machine, they have just been capped off as they are not currently in use.
Start by turning off the tap so no water is coming through the stopcock. You can then use multigrips or a pipe wrench to remove the socket and the cap to reveal the thread on the outlet.
If you put your multigrips or pipe wrench on the flat hexagonal part of the socket, you can rotate the socket anticlockwise (down) and it should come off. This may require some force as it will be on there tight.
Once the socket and cap are off, you should be able to attach your connector hose as normal and then run your outlet hose to the waste spigot following how to connect a dishwasher as a guide.
Let me know if you have any further questions or require any further assistance.
Jacob
