The washer in my new house is the landlord's (I'm thinking as long as he's ok with it I'm going to replace it with a Speed Queen) and it's a Roper. It doesn't have the Cruel Action agitator but it does have a very fast short stroke. It does the crappy neutral drain. The problem is, for some reason, there is no hot water plumbing to the laundry room. (Pretty sure this is because this area used to be a porch at one point.) The kitchen is not far away. I'd say 15 feet or so. So that I can have hot water in this washer or whatever washer I get do you think I could: Use a portable dishwasher style unicouple to hookup to the kitchen sink faucet and get this hose to then connect to the hot water inlet on the washer? This setup wouldn't be used except for hot water washes. (The idea of cold water only towels and underwear I find rather unappealing.) Do you think this would be possible? Would the connections work like in this setup? Any other ideas or suggestions are appreciated. | ||

if there's no way to make a permanent connection, it can be a good alternative. | ||

yes, you can get a portable style hook up at any hardware store like Lowes,(called a snap ring coupler) for about 6 bucks....and use a heavy duty hose, a regular garden hose may over expand with hot water and burst, just be careful....look for one that will screw directly onto your faucet (theres different types) and yet still aireate water when not hooked up...this also works for people who don't have an outside faucet to wash their cars, anything is possible, good luck I use this hookup style for people who don't have the hookups available, can be used next to a kitchen sink or in a bathroom, you can put a washer almost anywhere there is a sink! | ||
