FAQs
Can I use this kit for hot water connections?
No, this specific kit is rated for cold water fill inlet use only.
Does this kit include a drain hose coupler?
The kit is designed for standard extension; ensure your appliance model accepts universal push-fit or clamped connections.
What should I do if the hose is too long?
It is better to have a slightly loose hose than a stretched one, but ensure you route the excess in a wide loop to avoid kinks.
Will this fit my specific brand of washing machine?
Because it is a universal kit, it is compatible with standard threaded 3/4-inch BSP inlet valves used on most major brands.
How often should I check the hose connections?
It is good practice to check the connections once every six months during your routine appliance maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Slow water fill or error code on machine
Check the 5m inlet hose for kinks or tight bends that may be restricting water pressure.
Water leaking at the connection point
Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated inside the coupling and re-apply PTFE tape if the thread is loose.
Machine failing to drain properly
Verify that the drain hose is not sagging and that the end of the hose is not submerged in deep water inside the standpipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Turn off the water supply at the isolation valve and unplug the appliance before beginning work.
Inlet Connection: Apply the included PTFE tape to the threaded ends of the cold water inlet hose. Hand-tighten the connections, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to secure.
Drain Connection: Connect the drain hose extension to the machine's existing outlet pipe, ensuring all clamp connections are tight and leak-proof.
Testing: Run a short cycle with no dishes or clothes inside to inspect every connection point for moisture.
Maintenance: Periodically check the connections for signs of lime scale or wear, and ensure the hoses remain unobstructed by kitchen cabinetry.
