I would like to hook up my washing machine to the same water feeds of a sink. Problem is I can't find a hose adapter to go from the 3/8" water feed to the 3/4" washer machine. Does anyone know where to get one? I looked all over the web and Home Depot.
Ideal would be a T so I could have both washer and sink hooked up.
Need: Female 3/8" to male 3/4" and male 3/8".
I have a 2" drain so it's all good there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kacey

Is the existing pipe 3/8'' pipe thread? You could install a tee and nipple to reconnect the sink, and into the tee screw some hose bibbs. Most hose bibbs have 1/2" or larger pipe thread, so I would use a 1/2 tee and reduce it down to 3/8" where needed.

Home Depot should have adapters for garden hose to 3/4 NPT and garden hose to 1/2 NPT. You'll then need to reduce those pipe threads down to 3/8 using an appropriate adapter and perhaps a sex changer too.

It would be easier to simply change out the laundry tub faucet to a dual outlet. The washer would be connected at all times and the laundry tub has handles like normal.
