KMS Woodworks on Aug 04, 2013The supply side is pretty easy as you can pick up some "splitters" that will allow 2 connections to each tap. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FJYSHW Where your challenges will come in, is with the drain line. A washer has a "pump out" feature so the drain is often located much higher than for that of a sink. Here you will need to tap into that line that will allow for a free flow draining option just a bit bellow the bottom of the sink...this should also include a "p-trap" to keep the sewer gas in check.Helpful Reply

Phil Miller on Aug 06, 2013I agree with KMS. Your sink may fill up with water as your washer drains but it will be no different than a sink and Dish Washer set up. The Clothes Washer pumps out more volume than a dish washer. This is where you will find a problem.Helpful Reply

Colleen on Aug 11, 2013In some older homes the washer drain line is a hose hocked over the sink. Often the end of the hose has an old nylon stocking to catch lint.Helpful Reply
