Product Information
Full details
The Primaflow Washing Machine Inlet Hose Connector is an essential component for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to extend their appliance reach or repair damaged water supply lines. Designed to securely join two standard washing machine or dishwasher inlet hoses end-to-end, this connector ensures a reliable, leak-free extension for your plumbing setup. While it is highly durable and simple to install, users should note that it requires a tight fit and proper sealing to prevent drips in high-pressure environments.

FAQs
Does this connector work for both hot and cold water hoses?
Yes, it is suitable for standard household hot and cold water inlet hoses.
Do I need plumber's tape for this connection?
While the rubber washers do the sealing, a small amount of thread seal tape can be used if you experience minor persistent weeping, though it is generally not required.
Can I use this for outdoor garden hoses?
No, this is specifically designed for 3/4-inch BSP washing machine and dishwasher hoses, which may have different thread pitches than standard garden hose fittings.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, you can tighten these by hand, but a pair of adjustable pliers is recommended to ensure a snug, leak-proof fit.
Is the measurement definitely 3/4 inch?
The connector features 3/4-inch BSP threading, which corresponds to an actual outer thread diameter of approximately 1 inch or 25mm.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the connection point
Ensure a rubber washer is present in both hose collars and tighten the connection further with slip-joint pliers.
Difficulty threading the connector
Check for debris in the threads and ensure the hose is perfectly aligned with the connector before rotating.
Connection feels loose under pressure
Verify that you are using standard 3/4-inch hoses and that the internal seals have not flattened or perished.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, turn off the water supply to the appliance and disconnect the existing hoses. Ensure that each hose end has a high-quality rubber washer inserted inside the collar, as the connector relies on these washers to create a watertight seal against the male threads. Align the hoses carefully with the connector threads to prevent cross-threading. Once connected, turn the water supply on slowly and check for any signs of moisture around the junction. Periodically inspect the connection during routine appliance maintenance to ensure the threads remain tight and the seal hasn't degraded due to pressure fluctuations.
