If you have lines for a washer, you need to make sure that antifreeze is in those lines. I do not have a washer so do not know what that procedure is.
If hes BLOWING it out why would he need antifreeze in these lines?
He will need antifreeze in the washing machine pump for sure(if he has one0
I do it as a bit of added insurance. It would be next to impossible to evacuate all the water from every line and the pump by blowing it out. Based on the way the lines are run , despite blowing them out, water will still collect and pool somewhere in the lines. For the cost and easy of letting the pump siphon it through, why not? I know some folks never do and they have luck with that. For a few bucks I am not taking any chances. Maybe it's overkill, but I sleep better.

I went to my local hardware store and made one from scratch for a couple bucks.. Just ask for a 3/4 npt x 1/4_ npt pipe bushing.. I made mine from steel but they come in everything from plastic to stainless. Then just thread a quick coupler into the center and you are good to go.. Here is one just for reference.. http://www.amazon.com/Anvil-8700130704-Fitting-Bushing-Galvanized/dp/B005C2U6T6/ref=sr_1_1?s=industr...

Never thought about that one and fortunately never had any problems as a result. Not heading for warmer climes for a several more weeks and debating winterizing now or taking a chance that Mother Nature will be kind in the interim.
That may not be a perfect plan since we are getting reports of potential snow later this week.
