connecting dishwasher and washing machine under sink

Just wondering if I can do this myself or if I need to have a plumber? I am in a rental and would like to minimise the work involved.

I have waste outlets for both machines but only have one cold water supply. They both require cold water only. The current supply points upwards.

Is there some kind of Y shaped fitting I could get to connect them both to the same source? Are there any potential problems with this approach?

  • yes you can, yes there is the sheds or plumbers merchants sell them, is no it shouldn't be a prob.
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    As previous post. Really not a big job or indeed hard to do..... seriously anyone with any amount of sence could do it and bits you need are readily available at any plumber merchants or DIY Store.
