Washing Machine Double or 2 Way Pipe Drainage DIY

I have two washing machines one is Electrolux washing machine and dryer and the other one is Samsung washing machine.

When I want to use Electrolux to dry my clothes I have to switch the water pipe (It use water for steam to dry the clothes) from Samsung to Electrolux and to change the drainage water as well.

One day I forgot to change the drainage and made my floor flooded.

I found the double drainage sold on Shopee but I wasn’t sure whether it will fit into my current drainage.

What to Do?

Having 2 washing machines means I have to have 2 inlet water sources for the 2 washing machines and 2 way drainage.

So I need to:

1. Install a 2 way washing machine drainage
2. Change my single water faucet to double water faucet (2 outlets)

Double or 2 Way Washing Machine Drainage

So I decided to do it myself the drainage using 32mm PVC and T & elbow joints of 40mm. I use white tape to seal the joint between the PVC and the current washing machine drainage.

Ensure wrap lots of white tapes even outside of the T-joint to avoid any water leaking. Besides, I used PVC glue around the white tapes and the PVC joints.

It costs me around RM20 for the PVC and the white tapes.

Change of Single Washing Machine Faucet Nozzle to Double Nozzle

Change of single faucet nozzle to tway faucet nozzles.

My washing machines hose both need to screw to the faucet but the two way only provide one nozzle that can screw to it the other one need to hook it.

So I needed to buy new hose that can hook to the faucet & buy a converter / adaptor.

The Completed Two Way Faucet Nozzles and Washing Machine Water Drainage

I am happy with the final outcome. There is no water leaking from the faucet and the washing machine drainage. Now I can easily switch which washing machine that I want to use.

Costs:

• PVC pipe, Joints and white tape: RM20
• Two Way Faucet Nozzles: RM29
• Washing Machine Hook Hose: RM10
• Total: RM59

I use my existing PVC glue so I don’t factor it in here.
