how do I connect the extension hose of my washing machine, do I need connectors between the two different hose

Answer 1

I hope my answer is friendly for you. This question is phrased a little unclearly, so here goes.

Washing machines don't come with extension hoses.
They have two hoses with coloured ends - red and blue and a third hose -normally connected permanently to the machine, which is usually plain grey - this is the dirty water outlet and should be placed into a drain tube. The machine's instructions will explain this for you - often with pictures.

The red (hot) and blue (cold) hoses screw into the back of the machine using the right-angled connectors. make sure that they're tight but do not use pliers (the plastic fittings and threads damage easily.)

The other end of the hoses ( the 'straight' connectors) are screwed to the small hot and cold taps which are provided in your utility area (or often under the sink). You can recognise them because they often have small red/blue handles on top.

If you don't have these little water feed taps then you must get a plumber to install them. It shouldn't take him more than a couple of hours of paid labour time because they're not a difficult job.

If the feed-water hoses are not long enough then you buy longer ones from a decent hardware shop. You should be able to get 2.5 metre ones if you search.

If you need to use extra hoses as extensions then you should ask for a (usually brass) "back-to-back" or "male-to-male" BSP coupler. You can get these from B&Q or Wikes or a good plumbers shop. If in doubt take one of the hoses with you to check the thread. The cost a couple of quid each.

Good luck and enjoy.

Answer 3

Usually to connect hose the male and female ends couple. In this instance both ends are female. Purchase two "Nipples" in the appropriate size to join the extension to the existing hose end that normally would go to the faucet.

The nipple need not be more than an inche or two; hopefully in brass; and use hose fitting washers when tightening the hose fittings to the nipples.

seems such as you may choose some new hose washers. you additionally could have broken threads on the two the hose connections or on the hose bibb. Hoses have compression fittings, in an attempt to maintain them from leaking, they choose some thing (the hose washer) to compress. BTW, I incredibly advise the hoses that have a braided steel protecting -- they are much less probable to blow out than undeniable rubber/vinyl hoses. in addition they make instruments which will turn off the water in the event that they experience a broken hose, or alarms which will ring if the alarm gets moist. all of them are sturdy assurance against some particularly messy and severe priced harm.

Answer 5

these hoses on the back of your washer are the hot and cold water input hoses... one screws onto the cold water faucet and the other screws onto the hot water faucet in the laundry area of your home. Directly to faucets...make sure the flat ring seals in the hose ends are in good shape or there will be leaks at the join to faucet... one other hose (about an inch and quarter diameter) is to drain the water inside of the washer- is inserted into water drain pipe-usually placed near to the faucets in a recessed box thing in the wall--- just shove the washer's drain pipe in this pipe and slide the washer into place and no extensions needed... you do not connect these two hoses to each other. As for the dryer, you have a silver flex vent hose that you can get at hardware store or walmart hardware section that you hook to back of dryer and the other end to the exit in wall, use the clamps on each end to tighten down and keep in place or you will have hot wet air directly into home and ruin walls nearby. do not have lots of bends in this vent hose. try to trim if you can to length for best fit. Lots of bends will give lint a chance to build up in there, which needs a special brush to brush it out(looks like a chimney sweep broom on long flexible handle and available on shelves at walmart for about 6/bucks....you push broom into outside vent and push in and out till you get lint bunnies pulled out to the outside...

Answer 6

what extension hose to what?
cold feed screws directly to tap (as does hot feed if you have a hot and cold feed machine)
waste pipe gets fed into a standard waste outlet

Yes go to your local diy shop and if you can`t see one ask an assistant good luck.
