I need instructions to install a water line adapter for my portable washer machine.:D:D:mad::eek: Gary, Could you give us a better idea of your project. This unit is designed to operate and attach to the water supply, very similarly to a "portable" dishwasher. The coupler Part number: AP4567019
Is designed to attach to the end of the kitchen water faucet after the original areator is removed. And the hose coupling kit, Part number: AP3043597
Is used to "splice drain hoses together. "Make sure there is a rubber flat washer in the end of the water supply hose.
Connect the water supply hose to the Cold (marked C) water inlet
connector on the washer. Use a pair of pliers and tighten the connector
an additional 2/3 of a turn. Squeeze the ends of a hose clamp with a pair of pliers and slide it onto the straight end of the drain hose. Slide the hose over the drain connector of the washer and clamp it in place.
Carefully install an adaptor on the water faucet. NOTE:
Do not force fit new adaptor. If threads do not mesh properly, consult the supplier of the kitchen faucet. Move the washer near the sink and attach the faucet connector to the faucet adaptor and plug the power supply cord into a proper wall outlet.
Follow the instructions in the Use and Care Guide and run a small load of clothes and check for leaks and proper installation."Unless you're doing something different, I think this is what you may be looking for,

Gary, There are so many different possible configurations, I wouldn't know where to start. Some people do the same type installation with portable dishwashers as well, sometimes it's a nightmare. Here's a lot more information : PERMANENT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DRAIN SYSTEM
The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system (floor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the floor drain system. Select
the drain hose installation method you need. Standpipe drain system - wall or floor
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2″ (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 13 gallons (49.2 L) per minute. A 2″ (5 cm) diameter to 1″ (2.5 cm) diameter standpipe adapter kit is available . The top of the standpipe must be at least
39″ (99 cm) high and no higher than 72″ (183 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
CONNECT DRAIN HOSE
Proper connection of the drain hose will protect your floors from damage due to water leakage. To prevent the drain hose from coming off or
leaking, it must be installed per the following instructions.
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation,
this procedure must be followed exactly.
1. Check the drain hose to see that it is the proper length.
2. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap water. IMPORTANT:
Do not use any lubricant other than water.
3. Squeeze the ears of the silver, doublewire clamp with pliers to open it. Place the clamp over the straight end of the drain hose 1/4″ (6 mm) from the end.
4. Open the clamp and twist the hose back and forth while pushing down onto the drain connector at the bottom of the washer. Continue until the hose contacts the cabinet.
5. Place the clamp over the area marked “CLAMP,” and release the clamp.
For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems
1. Open the yellow, single-wire clamp with pliers, and slide it over the hooked end of the drain hose to secure the rubber and corrugated sections together.
2. Place the hooked end of drain hose into the laundry tub, or standpipe. Rotate the hook to eliminate kinks.
To prevent drain water from going back into the
washer:
• Do not straighten the hooked end of drain hose.
• Do not force excess drain hose into the standpipe. The hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
• Do not lay excess drain hose in the bottom of the laundry tub.
CONNECT THE INLET HOSES
1. Insert the new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
2. Make sure the washer basket is empty.
3. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the hot water faucet. Screw the coupling on by hand until it is seated on the washer.
4. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the cold water faucet. Screw the coupling on by hand until it is seated on the washer.
5. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten the couplings, or damage to the valves may result.
6. Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket or laundry tub, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
7. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT (right) inlet valve. Attaching the red coupling first makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers. Screw the coupling on by hand until it is seated on the washer.
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten the couplings, or damage to the valves may result.
8. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the COLD water (left) inlet valve. Screw the coupling on by hand until it is seated on the washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the couplings, or damage to the valves may result.
9. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this later.
SECURE DRAIN HOSE
1. Drape the power cord over the console.
2. Move the washer to its final location and remove any cardboard used to move washer.
3. Locate the beaded tie strap
4. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the tie strap .
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, place the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe . Tightly wrap the tie strap
around the water inlet hoses and the drain hose.
Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.
LEVEL THE WASHER
Properly leveling the washer will help prevent excessive noise and vibration. To level the washer.
Good Luck
