Hoses, Valves and Traps for Washing Machine Installation
A washing machine needs a controllable cold-water connection and a waste route that will not leak, kink or siphon. MacBlair stocks appliance plumbing parts for new installations and replacements within its pipe and fittings range.
The inlet hose normally connects to an appliance valve with a threaded union and sealing washer. Check thread size, hose length and clearance behind the machine. The valve should remain reachable after the appliance is pushed into position.
Waste hoses may discharge through a standpipe or a spigot on a compatible sink waste trap. Secure the hose at the height stated by the appliance manufacturer and remove any blanking plug from a new spigot before use.
Keep hoses free from crushing and sharp bends, then run a short test cycle while every connection is visible. Where the supply pipe needs alteration, use correctly sized compression valves and connectors.
