    Connecting washing machien dishwasher and tumble dryer to one outlet
    Hi guys, I currently have two appliances connected to my tap waste (a dishwasher and a washing machine)
    I have just acquired a new appliance (a new tumble dryer that condenses).

    I need to connect this new appliance to the waste outlets also, but there are no spigots free, and no space to drill a new one. I am left with my idea of trying to bodge some kind of connection between the washing machine and the tumble dryer that is in the garage and leave the dishwasher (which is in my house) to remain connected to its original spigot.

    Any help or advice if this is first possible, safe and how I go about it. Many thanks.

    If you don't have a floor drain near the washing machine, then I would use a condensate pump to pump the condensate from dryer to a suitable drain. You could just pump the condensate to the washer standpipe. Please let me know if you are familiar with condensate pumps.

    I am not familiar with condensate pipes and the like sorry.
    My set up is in my kitchen under the sink I have two spigots. One is connected to the dishwasher in the kitchen. The other is connected to an extension which runs through the garage wall. This is connected to the washing machine in the garage.

    The additional pipework has been run to allow the inlet of water. Its just the outlets I am having trouble linking together. There are no drains in the garage or outside and the only access is taken up by the current fixing to the kitchen spigots.

    I was hoping there would be a y piece I could somehow connect to the two rubber extension bits to join them as one but nothing in the plumbing supply shop or in any online shop either
