Hi,
I have an Indesit washing machine that only uses cold water feed. It was connected to the cold water mains under the kitchen sink from a a copper T with flex. The kitchen has a concrete floor. I would like to move the machine into a boiler room that separates the kitchen and bathroom. Unfortunately this room is on the opposite wall to the sink. What I would like to know is what is the best way to get the cold water feed to the washing machine in its new position. There are pipes that come out of the concrete floor in the boiler room and connect to the boiler already. I'm assuming they supply cold to the boiler and hot to the kitchen tap. So.......
Should I connect a pipe to the existing T junction under the kitchen sink, run this pipe under the concrete floor and then connect to the washing machine in the cupboard. If so Would this have to be copper pipe that is welded and buried in the concrete. Are there any issues with burying under the concrete floor.
Alternatively, if I could identify the pipe feeding cold water to the boiler, could I 'T' off this pipe inside the boiler room and supply the washing machine that way?
Thirdly, what about Ting off the bathroom cold water pipe and running this under the bath housing into the boiler room. Could I use plastic push fit for this?
Maybe I should just get a plumber in? I did get one in already to put in a waste pipe in the boiler cupboard but stupidly forgot to ask him to put in the cold water supply at the same time.
I'd like to find the cheapest acceptable option.
Appreciate any guidance on this.
