Thanks for your post John. Ok that could be difficult as the unit will not allow for the pipe to come up and out of the unit fixings and therefore above the sink level. The strange thing is that the original machine never had this problem. I wonder if by adding an extra machine, there is more...

Hi, thanks for your post. The waste hoses do rise above the machines, but the waste hose for the newer machine is very taught. It literally only just fits on the trap. I was going to get an extension pipe but I thought that might hinder things as it would be alot longer than I need as I...

Hi, I recently followed the perfect advice given to me on this thread: //www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/adding-a-second-washing-machine-to-existing-plumbing.327098/ However, I have got a small snag... When I opened the machine the other afternoon, there was brown, dirty water up to the...

Small problem. I bought all of the bits you recommended on the forum and installed. I got a small leak on the y-piece, nothing serious. So have removed that for now. Washing machine 2 (the additional one) had half a drum full of brown gunge this morning. It was not there when I took the last...

Yes I understand. I just wondered if there would be enough space for a Y. I have ordered one, so will have a go when it comes. Thanks so much for your posts, you have been really helpful. :P

Thanks for your post. I don't have the tools to fit that. I can do the basic stuff but not that. Do you think for the time being, I could get away with a y piece. When my brother comes round next, I will ask him to fit another water mixer tap into the pipe.

Ok thanks for the reply. And for the suggested Y Piece connector for the cold supply, would I be better attaching it to the far left connector in this picture? The far left one goes to an external tap for hose pipes/watering cans etc. It just looks like it would be easier to attach a Y...

I am assuming that with the mcalpine wm11, it won't be a different length to the current waste pipe as shown in my picture, so it will still attach to the bottom of the sink and to the drain pipe in the wall without me needing to make the sink higher.

Thanks. I have a couple of jubilee clips spare but they might be too large, will have a look. The pipe I am connecting the second washing machine off of is the cold water supply. I don't know of the bar on it but would a normal pipe be ok to handle two washing machines and a cold water tap on...

Hello, thanks for both of your really helpful replies. I have a power socket spare so that is all ok. One last thing...... In my pictures in the original post,it looks like where the waste pipe is attached to the current white pipework at the bottom if the sink, it seems that the grey waste...

I currently have one washing machine plumbed in under my kitchen unit. It uses one cold and one hot water feed and has one waste pipe going to the bottom of the sink. I would like to add a second washing machine right next to the current one. Is this possible and is it easy to do? The second...
