Good suggestions by the others. Th electrical would require a dedicated 20amp circuit with 12-2 w/g wiring and the dryer if electric, would require a 240V 30Amp circuit with 10-3 w/G wire. Do not use a GFI outlet for the washer. If you add another (receptacle) near a utility tub for example then yes, use a GFI outlet. Consider using the newer stainless steel washer hoses especially since this washer will be located upstairs near a bedroom. You may also consider a lint trap for the washer outlet hose.
: : Thanks for your help. : : Regards, : I would strongly recommend hiring a legitimate LMP : 1- a 2" waste is required not 11/2 PLUS venting : 2- Proper venting for the drier : 3- Providing free air for combustion if gas is used : 4-A Possible a pan with a drain under the washer to help keep your insurance costs lower WHEN the washing machine floods over and flows three levels down : 5- Installing and testing a gas line. : 6-Provisions for a "suds pressure zone" : 7- Return circulation of the hot water as now your possibly exceeding the 50 feet lenth. : 8- Dedicated electrical circuits with possible GFI protection : 9- A house keeping pad possibly with a flood drain and non absorbent/ fire proof flooring
