I want to stack the two Kenmore appliances with a stacking kit I can hopefully find at Sears. I know I will have to partially block the window as well as remove the shelves on the left.
The reason is I want to install a utility sink near to them that can use the washer's water supplies and drain outlet.
I will replace the existing water lines. How can I connect the sink supplies to the utility sink faucet and the sink's drain to the plastic pipe in which the washer drain hose is connected?

What you do for the drain is use a Y-fitting:
You will also need a couple other pieces; watch the video and it will show them.
Good luck!
