Product Information

Full details

This PEPTE Angled Washing Machine Valve is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable water connection for appliances in tight spaces. Its key benefit is the angled design, allowing easier installation behind appliances and saving space. A potential caveat is the need for correct pipe sizing (15mm copper) and standard 3/4" BSP hoses for full compatibility. The valve features a compression fitting for 15mm copper pipe and a 3/4" BSP threaded outlet for most washing machine hoses, offering a durable brass, steel, and plastic construction with a lever handle.

FAQs

What size pipe does the inlet connection fit?

The inlet features a 15mm compression fitting, designed to connect directly to 15mm copper pipe.

What type of hose can I connect to the outlet?

The outlet is a 3/4" BSP threaded fitting, which is standard for most washing machine hoses.

Can this valve be used with plastic pipes?

This valve is designed for 15mm copper pipe. For plastic pipes, you would need an appropriate 15mm compression fitting adapter for plastic pipe.

What are the benefits of the angled design?

The angled design allows for easier installation in tight spaces behind appliances, enabling them to be placed closer to the wall and saving valuable space.

What materials is the valve made from?

The valve is constructed from a combination of brass, steel, and plastic components for durability.

How do I turn the water supply on and off?

The valve is operated by a lever handle. Move the lever parallel to the pipe to turn the water on, and perpendicular to turn it off.

Is installation difficult?

Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended for installation. The process involves cutting pipe, fitting olives, and tightening compression fittings. If unsure, consult a professional plumber.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking from the compression fitting

Ensure the pipe is cut square, deburred, and fully inserted. Tighten the compression nut slightly more. Check the olive for damage.

Valve is leaking from the hose connection

Ensure the 3/4" BSP hose is properly seated and tightened onto the valve outlet. Check the hose washer for wear and replace if necessary.

Difficulty turning the lever

Check if debris is obstructing the valve mechanism. Ensure water supply is fully on or off before operating the lever. If stiff, a small amount of appropriate lubricant might be needed, but avoid contaminating water path.

No water supply to the appliance

Confirm the main water supply is on and the valve lever is in the 'open' position. Check for any kinks or blockages in the washing machine hose.
