How to add a hot water washing machine connection?

Hi I’m moving into a house and this is the set up. I want to connect to hot water also. Can I attach something to the hot water tap?

Re: How to add a hot water washing machine connection?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @zvink. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a washing machine.

Unfortunately, no adaptor will allow you to connect your hot water inlet hose to the existing tap spout. You'd need a plumber to come in and add a fitting behind the tap on the wall to split off and connect to your washing machine. Although functional, it might not be overly attractive. Given the work involved with having the brickwork cut and a more permanent outlet installed in an appropriate location, it might be the simplest option.


Please let me know if you have any questions.
