Lavatory Facet with Threads for Hosse

Unknown

If you`re speaking of an <i>automatic clothes washer</i> with direct hoses, typically an "air-break" is built into the machine from the manufacturer.<BR>That`s why they fill above the waterline. Dishwashers have had this too at one time. ;-)<BR><BR>Dave

Lavatory Facet with Threads for Hose

Is anyone aware of a lavatory faucet with a threaded outlet to connect a washing machine hose? Not sure if it a 4 inch or 8 inch faucet.

It is a ...

laundry tub/ sink faucet. Usu. 4 " cc. It should have a vacuum breaker screwed onto the threads to protect the water supply. kpc

Just

Find an aerator adaptet X hose thread fitting. I keep several on my truck. I only use it as a temporary type set up. Any good hardware store would have these.

As the others have stated,

you MUST protect the potable water supply from back-siphon with a back-flow-preventer, and there are many adapters available for this.
If its a lav faucet, the only thing that comes to mind is a bar sink type gooseneck spout that will give you some additional height.

Maybe just....

in my area, but I have never seen any kind of backflow device in a residential washer connection.

Just my observation,

Jim Bennett

Yeah Dave....

guess I just assumed when he said washer hose, he was going to hook a washing machine to it.

Probably not a good assumption

Cheers,
