While primarily designed for washing machines, it may be compatible with dishwashers that use a standard 3/4" hose connection. Always check your appliance's manual.
WRAS approval signifies that the product has been scrutinized by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme and meets the high standards set for products that connect to public water supplies in the UK, ensuring it won't contaminate the water.
The product comes with a statutory warranty. Specific terms and duration should be confirmed with the retailer at the time of purchase.
This valve is designed for standard water supply lines. While it can handle typical water temperatures, it is most commonly used for cold water feeds to washing machines. Check product specifications if intending for high-temperature applications.
You will typically need an adjustable wrench or pipe wrench, PTFE tape or pipe sealant, and potentially a pipe cutter if modifying existing pipework.
The 15mm refers to the outer diameter of the pipe it connects to. This is a very common size for domestic water supply pipes in the UK. Visually confirm your pipe size.
Turn off the water supply. Unscrew the valve, reapply PTFE tape or sealant to the pipe threads, and retighten securely. Ensure the pipe threads are clean and undamaged.
Ensure the main water supply is on. Check that the angle valve is fully open. Verify the washing machine hose is correctly connected to the valve and the appliance.
Turn off the water supply. Tighten the hose connection to the valve's 3/4" outlet. If the washer inside the hose is damaged, replace the hose.
Ensure the valve is not over-tightened against the pipe. If the valve is new, it may require a firm initial turn. If it remains stiff, a small amount of appropriate lubricant on the spindle (with water off) might help, but avoid over-lubrication.
