Changing / Plumbing a Washing Machine Dishwasher "Y-piece" / joint / valve for a Metal T-Joint 

Bloody brilliant, I cant believe I just spent 10 minutes watching that! You should have a side line in mechanical fixings tutorials!

great video thank you . I am moving house so today I looked at the washing machine and dishwasher and under the sink to suss out what I would need I figured I would need a brass y piece I had seen on e bay I tough would be the job but was not sure about the waste water pipes as I only have one outlet for waste water . I went to the small plumbing supply shop today he's a good bloke and not too expensive but he had no brass y pieces . I got a white plastic adapter to fit 2 waste water pipes on to one outlet pipe off him and pretty much what you have above plus a brass joiner as the hose that comes with the washing machine is too short there is an existing hose there . as I was cleaning out the attic yesterday I found a short piece of pipe I will need and had kept it in case he told me I would need a short piece of pipe I was lucky I found it . I have a basic knowledge of plumping . I was looking for a plastic y piece then instead of the brass but he said they are useless and don't really suggest using them because the mains pressure bust's them . so I will be doing a bit of plumbing I have installed heaters over offices years ago so I am used to it . good job I watched your video It reminded me need to buy some plumbers grease or what ever too

Did you say you are a plumber at the start and then say you are not at the grease part?

Where did you get that 3/4 to 15mm coupler from? Can't find any online like it!

nice job, always nice to learn something new :)

hey just found your video Im moving house and need to fit a washer and a dishwasher lol Iv never done this before and im guessing from what my landlord said that the pipe needs a Y fitting for both just like you demonstrated thanks How did you proceed with your waste pipe im getting mixed reviews about removing the ubend and replacing with the double ended ubend with two outputs. Iv never done this and would appreciate your advice on the waste pipe like and subscribe thanks bear

great video I'm gonna Install both basically showed everything... don't have to call the old man out..... Thanks...I've "got it one trace"

Hi your video is great, so pleased to have found it as it makes me think my idea might just work. I fully understand how your not a plumber but I wondered if you could give your opinion on my idea as you seem really knowledgeable in this field. I want to install a shower into my bath. My bath has walls to three sides. The taps are to the right with a traditional hot and cold tap and a mixer telephone shower head hose attachment thing. I have a window positioned on the length of the bath but unfortunately its toward the right hand side (Tap end) so I cant use the right hand side to either install a shower or use the shower hose that is already attached to the taps. So on searching the web for a solution I came across your video and thought it maybe might fix what I want to achieve. My Idea is to place a compression appliance on the hot inlet and one for the cold inlet too. Run one feed from each T to the taps. Then the other hot and cold feeds from each T would go under the bath with some plastic pipping and come up through the left hand wall to install a mixer shower. The bath taps and shower do not need to run at the same time but they do both need a water supply so that they can run independently. Would this work? Your thoughts would be much appreciated. I'm lucky that my bath has no slope on the left hand side so standing at the supposed wrong end isn't an issue. I also happen to have a brand new mixer shower in my garage that I was kindly given and would like to ideally use. I also have a spare couple of tiles to fill in where I would come through the wall for the water feed if I was to break any. Thanks Susie x

I was hoping you’d shoe how to cover the water pipe as well? As there is only room for one.

I’m doing the same here! Did you use compression reducing couplers 22 x 15mm to connect the appliances hoses in?

You may have just solved my problem. Thanks!

Hi just wondering, would you apply the same device for the waste pipes as well. Trying to see if I can do my own dishwasher and washing machine rather than hiring

Are the Y-pieces completely unreliable then? I'm about to install one but should I look at this option instead?

say "purple burglar alarm"

Legend. I will try this myself now.

Great conversion :)

Great vid very helpfull.

hi are we not forgetting a check valve
