Default Moving washing machine

Hi there - anyone have any advice on where I can get the hot / cold and
waste pipes long enough to move my washing machine - I need 14 foot of
it! I'm planning on fitting a non return valve to the waste - anyone
think of anything else I need? What's the cheapest way for me to
accomplish this?

Cheers
Simon

Run them in copper 'till you get near the machine, connect using
ordinary flexible hose as you have now.

Why??

Thanks for the advice.... I'd be quite happy running the new pipes in
copper, but the kitchen was fitted last year and there's not much room
to get access behind there.. I'm thinking of a non return valve to stop
the posibility of dirty water siphoning back up to the washing machine
- the waste hose will exit the machine and travel on the floor until it
goes into the stand pipe...
Anyone know where i can get the longer hoses?

Cheers
Simon

Do you actually need the hot pipe? Most washing machines these days are cold
feed only.
