just hook the hoses up one for each pipe. What parts do i need and how do i install a washing machine to the hot and cold pipes under my kitchen sink?
I don't understand your statement ';I don't need drainage';. All washers must have a drain. You might have to expand on this.


Secondly, you fail to mention what type of washing machine you are attempting to plumb. A standard washer with the hot/cold lines at the rear of the unit? (the drain hose is there too).


Frankly, I think you'd do better getting a portable washer with a water supply line that hooks up to the kitchen sink faucet, and the drain line goes into the kitchen sink. They are portable, on wheels, and can be easily rolled to and from the sink area. The need for any special plumbing is eliminated, and you don't sound like you have a real good handle on plumbing.
Jame is right, Hooking up you washer to under the sink to existing pipes you will not get enough water flow. I would like to see this washer if you have some pictures that could help us.
