Washing Machine Under Kitchen Sink Install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2012
- For those of you living in a rental with no washing machine hookups, this is an easy solution for you.
Most likely you'll need:
-Two Dishwasher Inlet Hose (yes, the dishwasher one) with a 3/8 inch female hose thread on one side, and a 3/4 inch female hose thread on the other side. This might need to be built up with a fitting the goes from 3/8 inch male to 3/4 inch female.
-Two splitter valves 3/8 inch female to two 3/8 inch male threads
-possible, two 3/4 inch male to male couplings
-some moxie (if you're old fashioned)
-other things that seem to make sense
(Also, please get permission from your landlord)
The total cost of the connection was about $50.
I never thought I'd watch a video from 2012 on something I need help with in 2021 haha! thanks man!
haha! time flies! glad it was helpful
I knew this just HAD to be possible. Thank you, sincerely, for your thorough yet concise description and for reassuring me that this was indeed a reasonable project to pursue. We're now the proud owners of a brand new, full size, functioning washer in our 3rd floor apartment. Just finished our second round of laundry.
Take THAT, treacherous light-deprived backyard Chicago ice stairs that lead to the creepy basement laundry!
NOW whose ankle is twisted?! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAaaaa...
PS - I am not a crackpot.
this is the most calming how-to video i've ever seen. i was prepared to be stressed at the prospect of doing this in my home, but your video has removed all of that worry. much appreciated.
Thank you for this DIY. I followed these directions and actually drain via a window to an outside rain barrel. Reuse the graywater for my garden. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you for the demo! This is just what I need to do in my apartment. i have a boy with autism who gives me a very hard time time in the laundramat! If i turn for a second he will disappear and I often have to leave it all to look for him resulting in a lot of lost time. It doesn't help that the laudramat in my area is filled with shady, SHADY people (drugs and other issues)...If i can pull this off it will save us from the laundramat! ;-D Thanks u again!
Thank you for this video! I went for a portable washer, and this solution will work in my bathroom. When I disconnect, I'll let the hoses drain and then store them under the sink so I can wheel away my washer. I hope you eventually bought a portable dryer - or that you've become a homeowner! I love the vibe of this video, the music reminded me of old PBS shows of behind the scenes in factories on Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow. Great job.
Thanks, this is exactly what we needed after searching the internet. You did a great job explaining. We are heading to the store tomorrow to get what we need to start our project.
Glad it was helpful for you. Please let me know how it goes.
i hope all videos are like this one. easy and direct to the point.
Thanks for this video! Recently bought a new front-load washer to be placed in my kitchen, and had no clue what types of parts and tools to buy. This video definitely made the install a breeze. You sir, are awesome.
I did this and it worked. Recommend you find someone that knows a lot (old guys might be best) at your hardware store. New guys might try to tell you it's not possible.
Very true.
I thought it was possible .now that I saw this video I am convinced
Best vid I've seen to connect a washer plus you listed the items thanks so much
Thanks for making this video on how to connect a washing machine to the kitchen sink. You have save me $20 a week thanks
Best video I've found for this DIY! Great job!!!!
Your demeanor is so pleasant. Like, Bob Ross or Mr. Rogers pleasant. Let's be friends.
Wow! What a great compliment! Thanks!
Thank you! I'm so bothered by exposed wiring, cords, pipes, etc, I was despairing ever being able to put a washer/dryer in my tiny condo. This video makes it possible, and saves me the time of installing it wrong 10 times before I get do it correctly.
Joshua Bowman lol yea seriously!😊
Yeah I can be friends with you...
I’m getting the Edward Norton vibe lol
This video was very hopefully i have the same exact setup of an apartment and my washer is going that far from my sink. I was goin to pay someone to set it up but this seems fairly easy .im actually excited to do it myself....thanks alot
Dude you are AWSOME! I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how to do this easily and your video made it simple and easy. Thanks.
Wow, that was great! It stopped making my head hurt so much trying to figure out how to do this. Even if I get a plumber to run the line, I won't be so totally ignorant. You know your stuff.
Oh how wonderful. I need your skills like 40 going north!!! I'm moving to a new city in December, and there is no washer/dryer connection in the apartment, and I have a full sized washer that I thought I would either have to sell, trash, or put in storage.The thought horrifies me because I detest going to the laundromat. Thank God I found your VIDEO, and your pleasant instructions. YOU DA MAN!!! 🙂
Thank you so much, I knew this was possible I just needed a visual example and the right parts explained. I'm going to do this next week. I bought a compact washer and this will help a lot I've been filling it with a 5 gallon bucket (15 gallons to load medium or large)
This video helped me a lot! Thank you so much. Btw, happy 11-year anniversary.
Thanks! I'm glad it helped :)
Very smart and informative. Thank you. My only suggestion is finding a way to hide the hoses. Possibly by drilling holes though cabinets and threading through, etc.
That's good question. He didn't show us.
awesome stuff! omgosh, I moved into my place about 2months ago and being going to the Laundromat, while my washing machine sitting in the garage. I'll get all the bits and follow your video, saves having a plumber do it, soooo expensive!!
dream come true. I knew this was possible because this is how my mother washes her cloths in her apartment in Greece. But here in NY, every store I call to purchase a washer is telling me that I can not hook up a standard machine in my NY apartment. Thanks so much for this wonder video finally I can own my washer. Sweettttttt
Any updates?
You gave my family life!!!!!God please you
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad it came off as seeming easy :) I wish you the best with your installation.
Thanks so much! This video is the answer to my "used to be complicated" dilemma!
Great video! I just got a portable washing machine for my tiny apartment and I'm going to try and hook it up underneath my kitchen sink (as opposed to directly to the faucet), so that it's a bit less cumbersome. I feel way more confident now!
Hi. This is something I want to try as well. How did it work out for you? How were you able to get hot & cold water for the washer? Sorry if that a stupid question but I’m not very good at this.
This is the best video I've ever seen. Moving to an apartment with no laundry taps, you just saved me from $5 a week of laundromats. Cheers!
Rion you rock! had no idea you were such a handy fellow... guess I know who to call on my next home improvement project
Hey buddy! This video helped us install our washing machine big time! Thank you! Maybe we should have thought to watch it till the end cuz we forgot the sealing Teflon tape!
Thank you so much Master Splinter. Usefull information indeed!
Thank you so much Rion. I followed your video step by step and got things working perfect. I appreciate your help!! -Michael
I'm so happy that this video was able to help you!
Thanks I just brought my set up yesterday, will connect it today
Excellent info! Thank you for the step by step!
Thank you so much for this! I was stressing. I moved into a business building and converting it into a house and obviously no connections. I wanted to convert an old sink attachments for my laundry room.
Awesome Video. I have just purchased a combo washer/dryer. Even though i have a portable connection kit, it is nice to see that there are other options.
Appreciate you great brother you are a life saver .. thanks for your teaching 🫵🏾👑💪🏾👈🏾💯❤️
Simple, easy to follow up steps thanks man
I just brought a washer /dryer combo to put in my dishwasher spot, I wonder for so many days how to tackle this install,
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions
The drain hose I’m gonna hook to the tail pip under sink with a nipple for dishwasher so that has a downward angle to avoid back flow into sink
thanks dude, ya this saved me, its wild vids like these are beyond hidden
So happy I could help :)
Awesome video! Thank you. Just exactly what I needed...
I will be doing this the portable washers don't seem to do it for me. I like to wash more than just 3 items at a time TY 👏👏👏
I have the magic chef 2.1 washer i love it its huge you can was a queen size washer and its fully automatic. you can do a regular size load.
Xavier Henderson
Lol 😂 I just bought a used portable washer and it’s ok for now
after 3 years from this comment, I can say I agree. I bought a portable washer and could only wash few clothes in it, they would not even be completely clean and dryer/spinner broke after two days of usage. Hope I can do this!
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately I'm not sure what other type of washing machine there is. As long as your machine needs water, this will work :)
Very helpful thank you exactly what I was looking for
I was looking for a video that explains how to do this. THank you
That was very well done! Thank you.
Good video, very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you very much! The last time I did laundry at the laundromat it came out to $50!! Moreover, that didn't include my bed linen and blankets! I'm fed up with the increasing prices and want to get a washer, but didn't know how'd I'd be able to hook it up.
Best......THE BEST.
You saved me $400.
Thanx
Thank you for the video I hope there wont be any future pressure issues at my home.
Well done video, well edited, very handy, very usefull and more. Thank you a bunch! Not sure why there are thumbs down, I guess there are always haters out there.
Awesome! Exactly what I needed !
Dude thanks for this, exactly what I need, do some machines heat their own water I ordered an LG with just one inlet, I am not sure it has a heater but from the online manual I saw I can select wash temperature.
Thank you for this very informative.
Great job and very helpful 👍👍
genius !! loved your idea !!
Thank you so much for your video
I did the work my self and saved a lot of money ❤😊
YASSSSSSSSS!!!! This video was everything and some. Thank you for doing this tutorial, now I just have to get my husband to agree to this lol.
STFU wit dat fake ugly ass Yaaassss shit!
Thsi video needs more likes ❤❤ thank you
thank you :)
Heya, cool video, I bought an LG Combo unit and have a similar vid, you went into the details on installation - Well done!! Props!
Correct. The challenge you will have to consider with having a dryer is where hot air vent will go. You can just put a good lint filter on the end of the vent and let it go into your house. (In the winter it can be an extra heater...) Or if there is a window close by it can go out the window.
I have a washer/dryer combo that recycles the hot air, no need for hot air vent.
Great video very helpful .
Super helpful. Thanks!
thank you so much for this we just got our top load and compleatly forgot how we would conect this
Thanks man, very helpful vid
Awesome video! I appreciate it!
😊loved your drying rack. I have the same😆
I don't have much space in my apartment also and I wandering could that be done. Thank you.
im got it running thank you.
Hello Rion. Thank you for the instructions. We will start this project in time for the arrival of a new baby. It will be great to be able to do the washing at home. Amazon links to the parts would be extremely helpful. The landscape is confusing...
Hey man, thanks for the vid!
Is that a washer/dryer combo? If so, how is the dryer working for you?
I have a ski condo and I think that a washer/dryer combo placed under the sink countertop is the best option to update mine for guest convenience.
thank you for this
I am so thankful for your video! I am going to do this. Clean clothes , Yay!!!
Thank you!
Well done video...
Thank you
Hey..........Thank you so much ........
Hello, I just stumbled upon your great video, thanks! I’m trying to do the same hook up for my new portable washing machine, with my bathroom sink. I noticed that on the 3/4 side of your hose, the part that you hook onto your machine, there’s no shut off valve. Do I need one to shut off the water to the machine when I’m not using it to prevent leaking or water damage?
Your video is 9 years old, how did it go with your set up? Did you have any problem from not having a shut off valve? Thanks!
Did you buy your parts on Amazon or at the local hardware store mine is poorly stocked so I'm trying to find all of these adapters on Amazon and having a bit of trouble finding some of them.
would i have to ask my lanlord first?? 😂 ahhh. he wont know. lol
I would ask, Your landlord will find out sooner or later
negative nancy
thanks so much great video
Thanks
Where did you buy the 3/8 x 3/4 x 3/8 adaptor. I can't find it. Please let me know. Thx
You can also put in a PVC why drain underneath the sink connecting for the hose and for your sink
If you own your apartment, you could also drill a hole through the back of the cabinets because it looks like he would only have to do three holes , and get plastic liners for the holes, and run your tubing and drainage tube through those
Finally a modern hot and cold washing machine
Very helpful 👍
I was just gonna get a split for the kitchen faucet and use only cold water..and the output mounted on the side of the counter and hold it steadily so the water would drain directly into the sink
Thanks, will this work on a Miele Front load washer? Specifically, Miele or Bosche
Perfect ..Thanks mate
yeah, i was looking at pex too, but this was actually a cheaper option for me.
I love this! The dread I faced with having to move to an apartment that I would not be able to use my lovely washer in. I just knew this had to be possible.
The new apartment's kitchen is definitely big enough to have a washer just hanging out. With a new kid on the way too.... Its just going to make things sooo much more simpler and time saving.
Thank you for sharing such a simple and detailed fix to my problem ❤❤❤
Now if i have an electric dryer... Can i just place that anywhere near a window for it to vent out of?
The electric dryer might be more tricky, unless you can find a 110 volt option. Or if there is a 240 volt outlet... fingers crossed. (venting out the wind seems reasonable) Congrats on the baby!
Do you need a specific electric plug outlet?or will a regular plug work?
Do you need to put in cut-off valves for the hosing to the washer to minimize pressure when washer is not in use? Does the washer draw water when the faucet (above, not the vales below the counter) is not turned on? In other words, can you describe if there are any mechanical issues between the 2 water hoses? Many thanks for your help.
You are awesome. Thank u
Thanks so much ❤️ love!!
so glad it was helpful
The drainage hose can actually be attached under sink to the dirty water pipe.
diggin the music!
very good!
Rion where did you buy the hoses at ?
I love the jazz music in the background! What's the name of the song/artist??
tmcdgreen
this is going to be a dumb question but a regular washer works right not a electric? or can i do this with either type?
