    Hello,
    I would like to know the best way to connect a washing machine under the sink:
    1. drain and water supply
    2. too short hoses or can they be extended?
    3. whether a good solution for the supply would be to use an angle valve with an outlet for the washing machine.
    4. what needs to be purchased to connect the drain to the sink trap, photo

    As for the siphon, it is enough to buy such: https://lazienkidybel.pl/httppolsyfon-do-umyw...-odprowadzeniem-pralki-viega-5727pl-p-95.html ( probably it is enough to translate only the upper tube with the spigot to the washing machine connection)
    As for the water connection valve, this type will solve your dilemma: https://www.unisan.net.pl/products/zawor-do-pralki-i-baterii-kombi you will connect both the washing machine hose and the hose from the battery.
    Remember to arrange the drain hose according to the advice in the manual of the washing machine so that there are no problems with the drain.

    As for point 4, this could be a problem, because if my eyesight doesn't deceive me, the author has an automatic stopper on the lever, and the proposal to replace the siphon might mess things up a bit (it might not all fit).

    The problem may be that the drain in the wall may be too high as the author puts it all together. We can't see the rest under the sink and some more photos would be helpful.

    Please still specify which hoses are too short? Both connection hoses from the washing machine?

    It looks incomplete, no lever.

    And I thought the hoses to the faucet were the ones at the washing machine.

    Unfortunately, the siphon can not be replaced because the drain is too high.
    And to point 4 can such a nozzle and connect the washing machine drain?

    Hoses from the washing machine are too short but I found that you can buy longer.
    With the inlet will not be a problem but if I connect a longer hose to the drain, the pump from the washing machine will be able to pump out water.

    And just to ask "where do you want to screw it to your siphon?". Give a picture of the entire siphon.

    Without detailed several photos can not advise as already mentioned by colleague @ta_tar.
    The inlet hose is not a problem because you can buy longer ones, but the drain hose must be connected to the original one because its replacement with a longer one already involves interference with the washing machine.Now the question is whether it is about connecting a new washing machine or one that no longer has a warranty?
    The maximum length of the drain hose should not exceed 5m.

    After the attached photo by the author of the topic, however, you can safely use this siphon: https://lazienkidybel.pl/httppolsyfon-do-umyw...-odprowadzeniem-pralki-viega-5727pl-p-95.html
    Under the place indicated in the photo, it is impossible to connect the elbow with the drain because it is only a blinded place from which the rod for adjusting the height of the plug from the sink drain should come out.
    Save only the accordion hose from the old siphon and apply it to the new siphon if there would be a problem with adjusting the height of the new siphon.

    Or does anyone have any idea how this can be uncoupled?

    With a wrench, turning to the left.
    For the connection of the washing machine, install a proper siphon under the sink. because at the moment you do not have one.
    The corrugated tube replacing the siphon is not a good idea.

    I was more concerned with what I could pacify it with so that nothing would break.

    Do you own a burner?

    Unfortunately, no.
    As a possibility, can you buy some tee and attach directly to this old element? Will the ends not fit?

    A burner like this is an inexpensive and generally available affair...

    Let you borrow this type of wrench: https://roboczebhp.pl/pl/p/KLUCZ-DO-RUR-SZWEDZKI-S-1%2C5-CRV/2595 from some neighbor and the valve must let go, but pull sensitively. The old valve will be replaced by a new one anyway. For the installation of the new one, please get Teflon tape or the so-called "packing material". No tee, etc. can be used. You need to unscrew the old valve and screw in the new one. Maybe someone from friends would help with the work.

    After purchasing a large wrench and additional hoses, the problem was solved.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the proper connection of a washing machine to a sink, addressing several key points: the feasibility of extending hoses, the use of an angle valve for water supply, and the appropriate siphon for drainage. Users suggest that hoses can be extended using a nipple and additional hose, and recommend specific siphon models that accommodate washing machine connections. Concerns are raised about the height of the drain and the compatibility of existing components. The maximum length for the drain hose is noted to be 5 meters, and users emphasize the importance of following the washing machine's manual for proper installation. The conversation also touches on the need for tools and materials for installation, including wrenches and Teflon tape.
