    One water supply, two pipe sizes
    I am trying to attach the LG all-in-one washer/condensation dryer to my bathroom water supply. The branch supply into the bathroom uses 3/4" pipe, but the flexible attachment for the sink is 3/8". Is there such a thing a pipe fitting attachment with two heads and a "ball valve", or something, so that I can use the hot/cold spigots for both functions? Here's the website for the w/d, pictures and all.

    Was there an existing washer dryer? If not, what do you plan on using for a drain.

    No, it's an older place so there was no w/d before. This unit doesn't require venting since it's a condensation dryer, so I'm hoping it's perfect for my place. I'm going to drain it into the tub, using it like a wash basin. The LG people said I could also drain it below the "p" bend in the sink piping if I wanted to. The problem I'm having is that the sink hoses and the washer hoses are 3/8" and 3/4" respectively. I'm hoping there's a two-headed adaptor out there that attaches to the 3/4" branch supply pipe, but has heads for 3/4" and 3/8" hoses and a ball valve to switch between the two when I need to. I hope it's possible.
