How to relocate hookups for washer and electric dryer?
CHANGE: added tips and extra alternate areas.
All of our washer and dryer hookups are observed out of reach, 40″ behind the devices. These are typically mounted on what, inside the 1940’s, ended up being the exterior area of an exterior wall surface of a single tale household. What’s now the den and washing place turned into a carport ultimately, subsequently a garage, after that a den and washing area with an attached storage continuing the expansion. Sooner or later, a dormer ended up being constructed, in addition to stairways extra. I’ve been here 4 age.
I am going to be moving them, most likely to the left side-wall, but perhaps under the stairs (adding an 8 or 10″ sofit of types) or even to the wall surface behind the dryer. One 110V, one 220V, hot/cold h2o lines, and drain. Wanting techniques and possible trip-ups.
The washer and dryer and water heater will remain as with the images.
Here are one or two more photos of the thing I’m handling. 1st shows the prevailing hook ups underneath the staircase. Another picture reveals the (inside) leftover wall surface. On the other hand from it try the den.

I’d exploit it by getting a dryer, or forward load washer, which has controls on its top versus back. Next force the whole device in to the convenient recess. Become additional unit 90 degrees having its back again to water heater, and simpler transfers too.
Alternatively, they generate washer+dryer combination devices in identical form element as a side weight washer by yourself. (mais…)
