I did it! I’m 65 yrs old female nurse and I did it. No plumbing background. Trial and error with the hose bibb- bought three x before I got it right. God bless this person-LaundryFreak!!!
Thanks very helpful! I guess all the dislikes are from the landlords who purposely dont have washer hookups in their rentals because they pay the water or have horrible laundry rooms that they dont keep up on for their tenants.
I hooked up my washer to my sink using this video, with some slight modifications. I didn't use the quick release valve or the garden hose faucet. KEEP IN MIND... I have a 3/8" sink hose, so all my connections are 3/8" but some sinks are 1/4" so before you go to the store double check what your sink has. DON'T FORGET THE TEFLON TAPE!!! Shopping List: (1 of each for just a cold connection, or 2 of each for hot and cold) -T - Adapter = Brass Craft Valve Adaptor. Add a 3/8" comp outlet to a valve. 3/8" OD female compression, 3/8" OD compression, 3/8" OD compression -Dishwasher hose = 3/8" Comp to dishwasher, 3/8" Comp to valve -Washer hose adapter = Everbuilt Compression Adaptor 3/8" in OD x 3/4 in MP
Thank you for the shopping list I appreciate it lol I was just looking through the video like ughh i'm not gonna remember so I searched the comments to find someone who wrote the list! hhaha :)
this is the best video ever ... saved my grandma life ... i just want to thank you ... so thank you dude and to those thinking about doing it ... you can do it... i did it...
I watch this video two years ago and I was able to hook up my washing machine to my sink. This guy shows you exactly what parts you need and you just have to walk around Home Depot and find them but it has worked out perfectly ever since.
Awesome video! My single biggest regret about the apartment I just moved into is it doesn't have a W/D in-unit - this just evened the playing field! Thanks for putting this together.
Dude, This was great I'm a Pianist and have no DIY skills. I followed your video If I can do this anybody can and now I never have to go back to the Laundry in my condo's building! I hated lugging my shit down and sitting waiting for clothes to be done. EASY EASY EASY!! Thank You!
Thank you very much for your time and consideration to make this video along with the lights in the bathroom so we could see.. This looks way more easier than my current set up.
Thank you so much! It's been 6 yrs you posted this and it helped me this year! I found everything at my local shop rite in Africa! It cost me about $10! Many thanks again!
absolutely grateful to such helpful information. being on a retired fixed income that’s way less than the cost of living income is a true blessing. thanks a lot god bless you sur.‼️❣️
wow the answers I have been looking for. I am so sick of going to the moldy crowdy laundry and I want to purchase the speed queen washer but I don't have the hookups in my apartment so I have been trying to find out how I can what you are doing right now. thanks a million.
How appreciate it I do! I waste 5 years to think about how to reuse my washer again in my new tiny apartment. You are genius. You do save my life. I will try to find the parts you mentioned. may take time but I got the resolution now. So happy I am.
Mookey The Pimp Thompson Same here ... sigh ... Did you set this up yet? How did it work? I’m curious to know if the fill up on the washer is any slower because of the small hose for the supply line?

Easier to use the sink itself. I took off the aireator n got a male/female hookup from Home Depot. Also a Y adaptor. Clips on like a dishwasher. Only no pressure release. hand loosen n tighten n drips in sink. Fill warm water manually, Then off for cold rinse. Bought extension hose to drain in shower (faster draining).
I been in my non hook up apartment for two years and was o in need of a washer and dryer. Just last week the apartment complex I reside in dryer went out order and I was left with two loads of clothes one wet and one damp from sitting in the dryer. This has truly been help. I can surely do this.
Thank you so much!!!! I have a washer dryer combo unit for under the counter and it’s not hooked up properly and I need to fix it. This video just gave me everything I need!
Thank you your going to save my mother and I lives..my mother has to go 3stories down walk past 3 buildings just to get to laundromat and she has 3 teenagers and one child imagine tge laundry she has to do..sooooo thank you soooo much..
People if you can not access his site. Feel free to pause the video when he displays them on the table. Any experience sales person at a store like Home Depot will surely understand and have a visual for what you need. Just snap a photo and go.
IAMANGELHEART38 I bought my 2005 set used from a handyman who just had the set out in his garage, hardly ever used it. $60 for beige Sears portable set. It's SO cute. Runs perfect. Craigslist always has them too, but don't pay $100 set, offer $60 cash. They've usually moved to a house & have a full size set now, so they NEED to get the portable set out of the way quickly.
Dude you’re the man thanks!! I just bought a washer and dryer set and realized there’s no washer and dryer hookup that I can use 😢 I’m like great what now ? Lol thank you so much !!
Here's what Lowes has, get two of each: #273099 Dual Outlet Tee to connect to the under sink valve #0788155 Universal Connector 8' (or shorter length) to transition to garden hose size fitting and reach your washer above in Plumbing section, then go to Garden/hose aisle Yardsmith Heavy Duty Brass Shut-Off Valve Connector Yardsmith Quick Connector Set Appropriate wall hooks/hangers to store water lines neatly when you aren't hooked up to washer.

How can you also hook up a water softener too this setup? The water that comes out of the sink is well water with no softener so don’t want to ruin the washer
AMAZING tutorial. THANK YOU...One question..... what if the water is on in full force but the safety disconnect set is attached: where would the water go? will it back up and burst through?
I would think the water would be at pressure in the pipe all the time. So there is less pressure when open a valve, so the pressure Inside the pipe remains constant doesn't matter if it's contained by a pipe or by a closed valve.
I couldn't find any of these things in my home depot in oregon. if you just tell the clerk that you want to move your clothes washer next to your sink and connect it to the sink he will understand as long as you know which adapt-a-valve you need and make sure he understands it is not a dish washer. the adapt-a-valve is also called add-a-tee. there is a 3/8" and 1/4" size, mine was 3/8" not 1/4" as recommended by David Esterling below. the kit he gave me was a dishwasher universal kit which as multiple fittings including the 3/4" needed to connect to the clothes washer. he also gave me a 3/8" needle valve as the on/off valve. he said use teflon tape to stop leaks.
look under your sink at the supply lines, there might be a sticker that says the size of the line, mine said 3/8" compr, yours might be a different size
Actually when I lived in an apartment I used an old dishwasher hose to connect to my washer since i would just connect to the faucet with an adapter and the hose would connect directly to the washer with out any adapter. Then just place the drain hose in the tube or sink and your good once installed it was just a snap to connect the washer to the faucet and you can use cold, hot or warm water just by adjusting the faucet to what ever temperature water you want.
You can use a y plastic for $6.00 connect to facet connect washer lines to y and drain down sink. I spend $6.00 verses $40.00... so damn smart for an Old gal. Lol.
Did u do in ur kitchen sink? I need to do this so bad n I know it can be done but no1 wants to do this- they all want to charge a fortune . . I'm thinkin more like a temporary time (year tops) not a permanent thing bc I don't intend to be here forever .. any info would be appreciated. Thanks 😊
If it’s not too late… this is just to get you on the right path, you should sill research valve and hose sizes according to your particular situation. Hope I helped.

Fantastic Video! I LOVE IT! But I am very Sad that I cannot locate the parts. Every time I go to the website to search for the parts, it takes me to a strange unsecure website. It appears that the website is no longer owned by the LaundryFreak guy that posted this video. Does anyone know where I can purchase these exact parts? Thank you.
Update: I now have all the parts and I am about to hook it up in my bathroom. I hope the laundry guy in the video is ok? Laundry guy.....where are you? You did an excellent job in the video!! Thank you again!!😀
Toilet, sink, shower. Whichever you want to use. Be careful if you produce a ton of lint. You will clog your drain eventually. Getting a nylon mesh for the drain hose will help with that tremendously.
How about the Splendid compact dry/wash hookup? They are much smaller & they dry your clothes directly after washing. I am not going to use a regular size full machine in any apt. Your tutorial was excellent!!
I read that you need a permit in Ny to install a washing machine in your apartment and if it causes damage, you owe your neighbors alot of money. Is that true?
Why go through all that when you could just put the hose with a snap Cupler right under the faucet? Most portable washing machines come with it and it works just fine. Nicely explained video though.
Just like in Medicine or Law, this is another language. As it's really great, may I suggest you to write the specifications and the exact name and measurements, please? I went to Home Depot, but there are a large variety and sizes. and those gentlemen, couldn't help. Did know what a faucet connector was. Yes! Incredible!
Great Video even this many years later, as i find myself in this situation. I live in an apartment that is actually in a warehouse. I have been looking for portable washing machines, but noticed that the regular washing machine uses same volts as portable, so i can instead buy the regular washing machine. Which is great for blankets and bigger items. I saw this video and have a huge bathroom to accommodate the washing machine. Was wondering if you have a dryer solution? i see that there are ventless dryers and portable closet type dryers or if you just hang dry.
I got a stackable washer/dryer(110, so they both plug into the wall and the dryer doesn't need to be vented outside), put it on a small wood platform w/ wheels and got an adaptor for the faucet(hook the drain on the sink) and can wheel it right up to the sink and do the wash. I roll it into the closet when not in use. Didn't have to mess with any of this.
@@spongedebfatpants1308you may just need to buy a longer faucet tip. They usually are removable. I remember needing one for a dishwasher that was removable. Check it out, it might save you time and money.
Were there any issues with having that set up on a platform or did it work out pretty well? Could see a lot of vibration and noise from that but I'm interested in how your experience went
I did it! I’m 65 yrs old female nurse and I did it. No plumbing background. Trial and error with the hose bibb- bought three x before I got it right. God bless this person-LaundryFreak!!!

Easier to use the sink itself. I took off the aireator n got a male/female hookup from Home Depot. Also a Y adaptor. Clips on like a dishwasher. Only no pressure release. hand loosen n tighten n drips in sink. Fill warm water manually, Then off for cold rinse. Bought extension hose to drain in shower (faster draining).
That's easier to set up initially, but once setup, the method outlined in the video is far more user friendly. IMO, the payoff is worth it.

I couldn't find any of these things in my home depot in oregon. if you just tell the clerk that you want to move your clothes washer next to your sink and connect it to the sink he will understand as long as you know which adapt-a-valve you need and make sure he understands it is not a dish washer. the adapt-a-valve is also called add-a-tee. there is a 3/8" and 1/4" size, mine was 3/8" not 1/4" as recommended by David Esterling below. the kit he gave me was a dishwasher universal kit which as multiple fittings including the 3/4" needed to connect to the clothes washer. he also gave me a 3/8" needle valve as the on/off valve. he said use teflon tape to stop leaks.
look under your sink at the supply lines, there might be a sticker that says the size of the line, mine said 3/8" compr, yours might be a different size
Actually when I lived in an apartment I used an old dishwasher hose to connect to my washer since i would just connect to the faucet with an adapter and the hose would connect directly to the washer with out any adapter. Then just place the drain hose in the tube or sink and your good once installed it was just a snap to connect the washer to the faucet and you can use cold, hot or warm water just by adjusting the faucet to what ever temperature water you want.
Rick Osman thats what I got
You can use a y plastic for $6.00 connect to facet connect washer lines to y and drain down sink. I spend $6.00 verses $40.00... so damn smart for an Old gal. Lol.
Can u send a link for pieces please??? It would be much appreciated
Did u do in ur kitchen sink? I need to do this so bad n I know it can be done but no1 wants to do this- they all want to charge a fortune
. . I'm thinkin more like a temporary time (year tops) not a permanent thing bc I don't intend to be here forever .. any info would be appreciated. Thanks 😊
Can you please have links to the products used in the video
I think he said on his website.
If it’s not too late… this is just to get you on the right path, you should sill research valve and hose sizes according to your particular situation. Hope I helped.

@@parlezvous hi I purchased everything from the links above but the supply line can not be connected to the bib. The bib and quick connects are 3/4 and the supply line is 3/8 to 1/2 but I cant find a line 3/8 to 3/4. Please help.
@@gabrielaayala8550 Sorry for the late response. you can change the Hose Bibb to 1\2". I faced the same issue but forgot to change the link. Everything should fit now. The water intake threads are 1/2" to connect to the supply line and the water out threads are 3/4" to connect with the Quick Connects or directly to the Hose.

You do not have the website anymore as referenced in your video “laundry in apartment.com”
It states domain for sale
you are so generous thank you
I tried clicking on the link to your website and the website urls is bad. Can you please provide a list of the items needed and the sizes? Thank you.
Amazing video. You just saved my life. Thank yo !
Hands down ,you are amazing!!! Thank you!!!
Fantastic Video! I LOVE IT! But I am very Sad that I cannot locate the parts. Every time I go to the website to search for the parts, it takes me to a strange unsecure website. It appears that the website is no longer owned by the LaundryFreak guy that posted this video. Does anyone know where I can purchase these exact parts? Thank you.
Update: I now have all the parts and I am about to hook it up in my bathroom. I hope the laundry guy in the video is ok? Laundry guy.....where are you? You did an excellent job in the video!! Thank you again!!😀
Great tutorial! Just one question - what do you do with the drainage hose? Where do you send the dirty water?
Toilet, sink, shower. Whichever you want to use. Be careful if you produce a ton of lint. You will clog your drain eventually. Getting a nylon mesh for the drain hose will help with that tremendously.
Wow I am so excited to try this
How about the Splendid compact dry/wash hookup? They are much smaller & they dry your clothes directly after washing. I am not going to use a regular size full machine in any apt. Your tutorial was excellent!!
God bless you i dont need it right now but GOD BLESS YOU
I read that you need a permit in Ny to install a washing machine in your apartment and if it causes damage, you owe your neighbors alot of money. Is that true?
Why go through all that when you could just put the hose with a snap Cupler right under the faucet? Most portable washing machines come with it and it works just fine. Nicely explained video though.
obviously not a portable machine my friend :)
This is awesome i will be buying the parts soon for sure
Nice video very simple and straight to the point.
Plus help me locate the list of items, I so need this 🙏🏼
Actually worked for me... No leaks or anything. Did it to my bathroom sink and it has cabinets
Where did you find the parts? I went to the website and nothing came up for me
what kind of washer/dryer machine are you using?
Thank you! I am sending you a five-star Thumb up!
Great video, thank you @LaundryFreak, but is your website working correctly? I couldn't find the list of parts and Amazon links.
Very Helpful brother. thank you
really cool video and explanation! Thank you!
Just like in Medicine or Law, this is another language. As it's really great, may I suggest you to write the specifications and the exact name and measurements, please? I went to Home Depot, but there are a large variety and sizes. and those gentlemen, couldn't help. Did know what a faucet connector was. Yes! Incredible!
where is the parts list i cant find it
Clear and well explained tutorial
LaundryFreaK, Can I use this method under my kitchen sink and permanently leave it in place?
Yes I have the same question!
Any suggestions on how to set this up in an apartment that has issues with low water pressure? Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!
Definitely buying this
Great Video even this many years later, as i find myself in this situation. I live in an apartment that is actually in a warehouse. I have been looking for portable washing machines, but noticed that the regular washing machine uses same volts as portable, so i can instead buy the regular washing machine. Which is great for blankets and bigger items. I saw this video and have a huge bathroom to accommodate the washing machine. Was wondering if you have a dryer solution? i see that there are ventless dryers and portable closet type dryers or if you just hang dry.
Love this video! Thanks for the help!
Thank you so much I did it and it worked perfect!
I got a stackable washer/dryer(110, so they both plug into the wall and the dryer doesn't need to be vented outside), put it on a small wood platform w/ wheels and got an adaptor for the faucet(hook the drain on the sink) and can wheel it right up to the sink and do the wash. I roll it into the closet when not in use. Didn't have to mess with any of this.
Can you send me the link to washer/dryer you got?
What kind of stackable is this that doesn’t need venting
Some kitchen sinks (which is what I have to use) don't have a way to hook it up to the faucet. So for me, this video is very helpful.
@@spongedebfatpants1308you may just need to buy a longer faucet tip. They usually are removable. I remember needing one for a dishwasher that was removable. Check it out, it might save you time and money.
Were there any issues with having that set up on a platform or did it work out pretty well? Could see a lot of vibration and noise from that but I'm interested in how your experience went
