The Plumbright Washing Machine Tap is designed for homeowners and plumbing professionals seeking a reliable, leak-free connection for dishwashers and washing machines. Its primary benefit is the push-fit mechanism that significantly reduces installation time by eliminating the need for complex soldering; however, users should ensure the existing pipework is free of burrs or damage to maintain a secure seal during the push-fit process.

No, this is a push-fit valve designed to be installed without the need for heat or solder.
Yes, this product is WRAS approved, meeting the necessary standards for safety and compliance in the UK.
This tap is designed for use with standard 15mm copper pipe. Check manufacturer specifications before attempting to use with specific types of plastic piping.
You primarily need a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, square end and a deburring tool to smooth the pipe edges.
While the materials are durable, it is intended primarily for internal domestic plumbing; ensure it is protected from frost if installed in unheated areas.
The 3/4 inch BSP thread is the standard size for almost all domestic washing machine and dishwasher inlet hoses.
Remove the valve and check the copper pipe for scratches, burrs, or paint; ensure the pipe is clean and re-insert fully.
Ensure no external debris or building materials are obstructing the handle movement; check that the pipe is not putting excessive tension on the body.
Ensure the pipe is cut perfectly square and the end is deburred; apply a very small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Ensure that the copper pipe is cut square and is free from any burrs or sharp edges that could damage the internal 'O' ring of the valve. Push the pipe firmly into the valve until it reaches the stop; a slight twisting motion can help ensure a smooth entry. For maintenance, periodically inspect the connection for signs of moisture. If the tap handle becomes stiff over time, ensure the valve remains free from external debris. This product is compatible with standard copper piping and should only be installed on systems that meet current WRAS installation guidelines.
