Been asked to fit a hot outside tap is there any regulations to prevent it?? Usual outside tap regs?? Drain down, iso valve and a dcv and a dcv tap? ??

Hi all. I have a tiny kitchen and want to fit a tabletop dishwasher to the existing washing machine plumbing. I think I have found the right thing to connect the cold water supply - it's called a compression alliance t bar from screwfix and I've attached a photo (hopefully). However I am a loss...

Hello! Sorry for the silly question upfront, but i got no idea what i'm doing :lol:]. I got a washing machine recently and now i got the problem that there's no way of telling which one is the cold water supply as the machine only needs cold water. The pipes are not marked with blue or red so my...

Morning all We are moving to a new property, and I want to put the washing machine in a ground floor bathroom next to the handbasin. I assume I can simply take a cold feed off the supply to the handbasin, but I'm less sure about the waste. The handbasin waste looks like a standard size...

As the title, McAlpine waste under a one and a half bowl sink with one spigot for washing machine. If the sink is full of water and the washing machine drains, the level of water in the sink rises and overflows all over the kitchen floor. Waste trap, overflow pipe, and all pipework has been...

Hi The Knowleageable I dont do plastic plumbing, i'm old school copper BUT just got a flat for my son. Just had to rip up the kitchen floor due to a leaking waste pipe. all plumbed in plastic, no pipe clips to speak of so now installed some on the water supply to sink etc and fitted a couple...

Hi. I have a general query regarding my Hotpoint WM. For the past few weeks it has been tripping the electrics as soon as it starts a cycle. It fills up perfectly but after a spew rotations of the drum the electric trips. This does not happen on the rinse or spin cycle. After reading a little...

Hello, I am moving into a property that has odd plumbing for the washing machine. In the past we have always used a standing pipe or a spigot for the drain hose on a washing machine. In this property, there is a T-pipe under the sink and off of that is a horizontal pipe and then a 90...

Hi, dish washers and washing machines are usually placed by the sink so you can use the sink waste via a unicorn sink trap. And take the cold water from a washing machine tap on the cold feed to the kitchen tap. I have one were the dish washer is right next to the sink. But then the work tops...

I fitted a washing machine for a customer yesterday, ran a cycle when I was there she used it 3 times but then randomly turned the cold tap on then the hose blew clean off the 3/4 thread at the rear of the SECOND HAND washing machine. I shot straight over there and the hose I supplied was not...

Apologies for what will come across as a bit of a vague post. My mother has just moved into a newly renovated bungalow. I have been sent the below picture showing the pipework available to plumb in her washing machine. From the description I have received, the inlet hose is larger than the...

Hello, As of recent, we have been unable to use our washing machine. The kitchen sink is located approximately 3m from the washing machine drain which is housed in a separate utility cupboard. The sink was recently blocked, however we were able to clear the blockage with a drain cleaning...

And it remained leak free for 22 days (hose is in plain sight.) But then started leaking again on the 22nd day. Would you return and investiage and maybe replace hose/valve/washer for free? I know they are one of plumbing's most rubbish joints but almost seems like it's more likely to be them...

Hello, I am new here so I hope this is posted in the correct forum. We have 1) noise from our washing machine when drawing water from mains and 2) a chugging noise when we flush our toilets. 1) We had a new washing machine last year. Our old one never made the noises as this one which is like a...

Hello, Rank amateur here, looking for advice on macerator pump brands. We are installing a shower and washing machine in our basement. Annoyingly, we can't get through to a waste pipe that's low enough: we will have to pump the water up about 14 inches to the nearest waste pipe. We have been...

Hello I am a total layman. I moved in to a new house. There is some pipework in the kitchen which I'm hoping will allow a dishwasher to be plumbed in. See the attachment (ignoring the radiator obviously) - is this for a dishwasher? Thanks
