Washing Machine / Dish Washer Help

[RadioDJ]

I've currently got a washing machine, and I've got a Cold Water Pipe connected, with a waste pipe.
I'm looking to getting a Small Dish Washer, which would fit on top of the washing machine, and I want to basically know, If I Can get a 'Double Ended' pipe so, that It can 'Share' the Cold Water tap, and then get a double ended 'Waste' Pipe.

Is this possible?

Yes u can. You need a y piece to connect on the end of the pipe with the blue valve. Then connect the two cold fills to the end hence it's called a y piece cost about 2 quid. The stand pipe you need the same thing but it's s cap that fits on the pipe and has 2 spurts coming off it to connect the 2 waste pipes to , don't know what that's called poss double waste cap for a stand pipe.

I Can't seem to find anything on Google.
Do you have a Link to somewhere on Amazon, or B n Q?

Screwfix for the Y piece, not sure about the waste.
You can get a sink waste with 2 spigots on.

Will that fit onto the Cold Water Pipe?

Yes it will fit just turn blue tap off unscrew old inlet pipe then screw the single end on the pipe, the doulble end then screw the dw then the Wm pipe. Can't find a pic of the waste cap with 2 spurts on them I've seen them ask in a plumb shop.

I had the same issue as the OP, and in fact the 'Viking Hat' illustrated by the previous reply is fine if you don't also have a sink that you want to drain too - but if you have all three - i.e. a dishwasher, a washing machine and a sink - then you probably need this - a McAlpine WM11 - here's their listing for one at eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/McAlpine-Dome...Plumbing_MJ&hash=item4aa7707f29#ht_698wt_700. They were v helpful on the phone and had the best price - result!

Hope that helps the next Googler for 'how to drain a washing machine and dishwasher and sink using a Y connector or joint outlet'
