We have a utility room with a washing machine but no sink. Wife wants sink. There is room to fit one and the waste will connect to wahing machine waste but the problem is in the water supply. Currently there is only hot and cold washing machine hose fitting isolators attached to very short (2cm?) lengths of copper pipe coming out of the wall (the hot is not in use).
QUESTION: How can I provide hot and cold water to my new sink from existing provision while still providing cold feed for the washer?

I am only a DIYer but I have done a few plumbing jobs around the house. I dont have the facilities to bend copper pipe or solder but I have used plastic pipe successfully.Hope some kind soul can help. Please.
 
Thanks, I wish I had known that at the time. Because they have the rubber O rings and they cost more, I assumed they would give a better seal so I used that one in the compression joint and the normal ones in the other joints.

There the super seal ones just for push fit fittings
 
Thanks Shaun, thats good to know. It would be helpful if the makers were to print that on the packaging.

When speedfit came out they one made that type (super seal) and they had a few claims through with compression popping off under pressure and then they brought the stnd inserts out but agree should be somewhere in big letters not for compression etc
