Connecting two different washing machine water outlets can be achieved using a Y-connector or a dual washing machine inlet hose. Here's how you can do it:
Y-connector:
- Purchase a Y-shaped connector or Y-adapter from a hardware store or online.
- Turn off the water supply to both washing machines.
- Unscrew the water supply hose from the first washing machine's water outlet.
- Attach one end of the Y-connector to the water outlet on the first washing machine.
- Connect the water supply hose of the first washing machine to one of the remaining openings on the Y-connector.
- For the second washing machine, attach its water supply hose directly to the second opening on the Y-connector.
- Once both hoses are securely connected, turn on the water supply for both washing machines.
Dual washing machine inlet hose:
- Purchase a dual washing machine inlet hose, which is designed to connect two washing machines to a single water outlet.
- Turn off the water supply to both washing machines.
- Unscrew the water supply hoses from the water outlets on both washing machines.
- Attach one end of the dual inlet hose to the water outlet on one of the washing machines.
- Connect the water supply hoses of both washing machines to the two openings on the other end of the dual inlet hose.
- Once both hoses are securely connected, turn on the water supply for both washing machines.
In both cases, it's essential to ensure that the connections are tight and secure to prevent leaks. If you're unsure about the process or want to ensure the correct installation, consider consulting a professional plumber or contacting the washing machine manufacturer for guidance. Additionally, make sure that the water pressure and capacity of the water outlet can handle the demand of two washing machines to avoid any issues during operation.
