How do I connect the extension hose of my washing machine, do I need connectors between the two diff
I hope my answer is friendly for you. This question is phrased a little unclearly, so here goes.
Washing machines don't come with extension hoses.
They have two hoses with coloured ends - red and blue and a third hose -normally connected permanently to the machine, which is usually plain grey - this is the dirty water outlet and should be placed into a drain tube. The machine's instructions will explain this for you - often with pictures.
The red (hot) and blue (cold) hoses screw into the back of the machine using the right-angled connectors. make sure that they're tight but do not use pliers (the plastic fittings and threads damage easily.)
The other end of the hoses ( the 'straight' connectors) are screwed to the small hot and cold taps which are provided in your utility area (or often under the sink). You can recognise them because they often have small red/blue handles on top.
If you don't have these little water feed taps then you must get a plumber to install them. It shouldn't take him more than a couple of hours of paid labour time because they're not a difficult job.
If the feed-water hoses are not long enough then you buy longer ones from a decent hardware shop. You should be able to get 2.5 metre ones if you search.
If you need to use extra hoses as extensions then you should ask for a (usually brass) "back-to-back" or "male-to-male" BSP coupler. You can get these from B&Q or Wikes or a good plumbers shop. If in doubt take one of the hoses with you to check the thread. The cost a couple of quid each.
