i am currently refitting my kitchen and want to move the sink to the other side of the room next to where the washing machine currently is.

The washing machine has two feeds, 1 hot 1 cold although the washing machine only uses the cold. these feeds are 13mm pipes, but then have taps with approx 22mm threads as the output.

my taps have tails which appear to be a 15mm thread. the taps are approximately 90cm from the pipes

my washing machine remains unchanged and has a 22mm thread.

so what is the best/easiest/cheapest (in that order) way to set this up.

i was thinking:
22 mm flexble hose to 13mm pushfitting.
a couple of lengths of 13mm pipe attached to the wall.
a t-junction with the 22mm washing machine fitting coming off the cold pipe
then a 15mm thread end connections.

does all of that make sense?

No, they'll be 15mm

Those are 3/4" bsp

my taps have tails which appear to be a 15mm thread.
Those are 1/2" bsp

What you're asking is how to botch the job rather than use normal plumbing methods. Wouldn't recommend it.

ps if anyone can tell me the correct names for these bits that would also be appreciated - or better still the screwfix part number ;)
