Thank you!! I have been searching to! This is exactly the info I need for same project ❤!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@maritesgillespie9849]

Oh my goodness! You saved us so much time and money! I watched this video, then my husband and I went to Home Depot and asked an associate for help. The associate recommended about 10 different parts to connect the water. I reminded my husband of this video and we watched it again in the middle of Home Depot. Walked to the garden section and BOOM, we got everything we needed. Thank you!!!

[@diywithdel743]

So glad it was helpful to you. I’ve done my fair share of watching how to videos in the middle of Home Depot as well. Haha.

[@ssamp4973]

This here is my style

[@tannerc900]

This is by far the best/easiest route to add a laundry room sink. I’m happy to see you uploaded this technique, I did this exact same set up in my last house and worked perfect. Not sure why people bother going through the trouble of adding new pipes and shut off valves etc, everything is right there and readily available at any hardware store.

You hit the nail ... I have been burning my brain to find the easiest solution to install a utility sink without tearing down too much the drywall... thanks

[@lashawnbailey5837]

Hello, thanks for the video. I was able the splice the water using two stainless steel Y adapters for the cold and hot water. I didn’t want to cut into my walls. So, I figured out another way to get the drain pipe to drain in the standup drain pipe. I purchased a small gray water/sewage pump for under bathroom/kitchen sink off Amazon, a drain hose and some small pipe connectors from Home Depot and rigged it together with some plumbers tape and it works perfectly.

[@lindseyisham]

I looked for parts for this too and came up with a different option that leaked. Originally I didn't try this option because the everbuilt packaging for the splitter said it wasn't rated for hot water, but I looked this product up on the HD website, and in the q&a, the company addressed this question and responded saying it's definitely rated for hot water use! So glad I found this video! Thanks for sharing!

[@msenecal]

You may want to change your electrical outlet over the sink to a ground fault outlet. Easy to miss the electrical when you are thinking about plumbing.

[@diywithdel743]

We ended up changing out the plug not long after we installed the new sink. Thanks.

[@AshenafiMaru-ul3rg]

Thank you! Awesome video! I’m glad I saw it right before I add my sink on the washer line. Perfect! Blessings!

[@SteveBoyer10]

Nice! This is exactly what I'm planning to do to our laundry room, so thanks!

[@diywithdel743]

Makes for a quick easy update! Good luck with the project.

[@brianmorris7498]

Perfect!! You have a great mind ! I’m in the process of a laundry room makeover, and I will give it a try. Thank You !

Came out awesome TY !

[@vanessawhite1041]

Was considering the same thing but was looking at the EASTMAN 12-in 3/4-in Fht Inlet x 3/4-in Hose Thread Outlet Rubber Washing Machine Connector from lowes instead of the dishwasher elbow. Excited to see this could actually work! Thanks for the video

[@brianmorris7498]

How that work?

You have provided us with valuable information as well as confirmed my theory! Seriously thank you! $2k estimate from Anderson Plumbing my butt!

Glad this was helpful info. Not sure this exactly code but it gets the job done at a very low cost.

[@garrettsouthmayd1722]

@@diywithdel743 We own the home and there are zero reasons that we cannot connect our laundry line to our laundry sink. We aren't rerouting an entire plumb line. We ate tapping i to a very useful line.

Awesome video

[@carolinaschierholz6677]

Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Crysco.mp3]

You need a GFI on that outlet on the same wall as the water connections. Its code.

[@kingL4991]

Smart

[@EmilGhiurau]

Awesome. This is what I needed. Garden hose Y is perfect. Wish you would have showed how you added the drain, I’m trying to do the same thing, and need to use the washing machine stand up pipe drain.

[@lashawnbailey5837]

Are you still figuring out that part? Right now, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I connected the water line using the Y adapter. Trying to figure out the drainage component is causing me mental blockage. I even brought a greywater pump just to test its ability to pump water up through the drain hose into the pipe drain. I haven’t tried it yet.

[@EmilGhiurau]

@@lashawnbailey5837 I found some other videos online showing to use a street 90 going into the standup drain pipe. Not sure if it has to be at an angle, but the keep was to have a street 90 instead of the T.

[@lashawnbailey5837]

@@EmilGhiurau Can you link the video please?

[@soma.psyche.soul.]

So to clarify- the sink has only cold water? Or did you connect the hot water too?

[@taimybringas8314]

Hello, I just want to know how good are those laundry machines? My cousin got one of those a few years ago and she really didn't like it. I am so used to the ones you open at the top, but I love the idea to save space plus having a sink on my laundry room. Thanks! :)

[@diywithdel743]

We love our stackable washer/dryer. Definitely a space saver and they work well for us.

[@natalierethi5991]

Curious to know how this set-up has performed since installation. Has it held up and/or have you made any changes to the set-up? Thanks!

[@diywithdel743]

Still holding up just fine after installation. Doesn’t hurt to keep an eye on the fittings after some time to retighten and be sure there are no leaks.

[@TybeeHandyman]

Now that that wall outlet is near a sink, did you convert it to a GFCI outlet? Or was it already on a GFCI circuit breaker?

[@diywithdel743]

I changed the plug to a GFCI shortly after this installation.

[@HECGOM]

Can you use also the same drain? This would be a nice add on to my laundry room

[@diywithdel743]

In my install I was able to access a drain clean out that was connected to my laundry drain line. This made the installation very simple.

[@lashawnbailey5837]

I figured out another way to get the drain pipe to drain in the standup drain pipe. I purchased a gray water/sewage pump for under bathroom sink off Amazon, a drain hose and some small pipe connectors from Home Depot and rigged it together with some plumbers tape and it works perfectly.

[@michaelbellucci5225]

How did you hook up the hot water to the faucet sink with only one sink whip? Per your video, its hooked directly to the cold side. How did you hook the hot water up as well? Looks like you are only able to use hot or cold, but not both.

[@diywithdel743]

The blue handle may seem confusing because we’re used to seeing red handles for hot, however my hot water line had a blue handle.

[@HarnischNicole]

Were you able to get your hot water supply hooked up to the faucet too?

[@diywithdel743]

Yes, the blue handle may seem confusing cause we’re used to seeing red for hot however this is my hot water line.

[@AkhiJavi]

Hi, Very useful video. How about the drainage line? Kindly do a video. Thank you

[@diywithdel743]

I was lucky enough that there was a drain pipe located in the space that I put the vanity. Made the job real easy on me for installation.

[@marc31415]

When Drying your Cloths, 1. do the cloths accumulate more on one side than the other? 2. or do you find the cloths not 100% dry when the dryer stops? to get the best performance from the dryer it must be Leveled with a bubble Level tool. P.S. I think this setup would work better if you built custom platform(level) for the dryer.

[@diywithdel743]

Works just as it should. Thanks.

[@JonGuriel]

How do you “tie in to the plumbing”? Can you cover that in a bit more detail?

[@diywithdel743]

I have had this question come up a lot. I wish I would’ve done another video when I was making those connections. In my application I was lucky enough to find a unused drain line in the wall before adding the sink. So I removed the cap and was able to tie it in with the correct pvc parts for drainage.

[@paulaupdegrave7491]

Be careful with those splitters! We set ours up that way and the splitter broke while we were on vacation. It flooded the basement. What a mess!

[@diywithdel743]

Good to know. And sorry to hear about your bad experience.

[@brianmorris7498]

WOW , was it a plastic one ? I went with heavy duty brass.

[@jusTOOfresh]

How/why did it break?

[@LizzSmoak]

Im not clear on how you tied in to the drain tho

[@diywithdel743]

I luckily had an existing drain for my application that I was able to utilize behind the sink.

[@robingronw6491]

Great video. What did you do with the drain for the washer?

[@kaylaturner741]

@@diywithdel743 This is super helpful - can you do a video for the drain please?

[@JonGuriel]

@@diywithdel743hat do you mean by utilize? Was it extra and unused? Or did you splice it from your washing machine similar to how you spliced the water?

[@EmilGhiurau]

@@JonGurielyeah that’s what I’m thinking of doing, splicing the washing machine standpipe. But would need to know probably to be angled correctly and then add the pTrap. Will need some pvc work, drywall cut up and 2x4 cut through 😢 Not fun, but it can be done.

[@Gitanarosa]

Loved it

[@ministeriosummitespanoldis2237]

That outlet behind the sink is very dangerous. You should have a gfci
