Plumbing Washing machine to water pipe from combi boiler

[shazz27]

I’m trying to hook up the washing machine water pipe to the combi boiler water pipe but not 100 % which one it , any help please

Do you mean the filling loop? If yes, it’s integral to the pipework/boiler. Or do you actually mean a washing machine hose?

You purchase these from plumbers merchants or they come with new machines.

Oh I think I better give a better description of what I’m wanting, I’m wanting to know which pipe to use on the boiler for a water supply to the washer , sorry

If it’s for a cold fill then trace the cold pipe back to a suitable point, if it’s for hot then do the same. Are you sure there’s not one already installed, usually under the kitchen sink or where the washing machine space is located.

There is one under the sink but I’ve placed the dishwasher there and the only other water supply is in the utility room to the boiler

I would be more concerned about the drain hose as it’s termination can lead to back filling boiler through condensate pipe when washing machine pumps the water out

The drain hose is at the bottom that leads straight out the wall , thanks anyway
