I currently have a separate washer and dryer on two separate walls. Each has it's own 120 V plug. And the water spout is right behind the washer.
We are planning on getting a stackable washer dryer combo.
I measured and to move the washer underneath the gas dryer, it would take between 5 and 6 feet of hosing to the water spout. Is this acceptable?
A related question, currently the stackable appliance spec's only require 10/15 amps per appliance. (Gas dryer 15A). Would I still need to update our current socket to 30 amps socket?
Thanks in advance!

As to the electrical load, look at what the device's actual running current or power usage load is...add the two together...if that total is not more than 80% of the power available, you can plug them both into the same circuit. If it's listed in amps, then just add them together. If it's listed in watts, then you need to figure the percentage of 120vac*15A = 1,800W.

I don't think there's a code issue with the length of the hoses from the faucet to the appliance, but I'm not positive. Code is usually related to permanently installed items, not a replaceable hose.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
