If you are wanting to install a washing machine and the plumbing is already there, it is a cinch! Remove the old washer (Unscrew the water supply lines and unhook the drain hose). Make sure you get new water supply hoses. I like the steel braided hoses for extra strength and piece of mind. Hook up your new hoses to the correct inlets on your washer (they are marked H for hot and C for cold) Hook up your drain hose, level the washer and you are good to go!

It means where the water will be coming from. So you attach the water hose from tap to water inlet of the washing machine so that it can draw water and use it in the machine. The water outlet is where the waste is dispensed.
To connect a washing machine drain hose to a flexible hose it is proper to seal the union with plumbers tape and a hose clamp. Silicone should not be used because it may come loose and get into the drainage system. If Silicone is used it might also be necessary to cut the hose when removing the washer drain hose.
