McAlpine 3/4" BSP Washing Machine and Appliance Tap Threaded Blanking Off Cap

Product Information

This hose is permanently connected to the washing machine, and the other end is either poked into a washing machine standpipe trap or connected to a waste pipe connector under the kitchen sink. I can't see how the hot water will be too hot to affect the glue.If it's blanked off there won't be any hot water at valve, it only gets hot when there's flow through the valve.

I have been a full-time plumber for over a decade and have fitted and disconnected many washing machines.There might be a hose clip keeping the drain hose on (which will need to be removed first with a screwdriver), once this is removed the drain hose can be pulled off to disconnect it. 4. Blank Off the Water Supply Valve I looked in various Plumbers' Merchants but didn't find anything suitable so I thought I'd have to set to work on the lathe and turn a couple up from a suitable grade of brass or maybe nylon, using the fittings salvaged from an old pair of washing machine hoses as a model. If the drain hose is in a standpipe, this is usually behind the washing machine and can be pulled out easily. A washing machine water valve that supplies the water to the washer is on when the handle is in line with the pipe or valve, and off when the handle is across the pipe or valve. Washing machine water valve on or off?

But the other guys are right. I ought to have a more thorough search for 3/4 BSP brass blanking caps. If you are only moving it a little bit and the water supply pipe is long enough to stay connected then no you do not need to turn the water off to move it. What do you need to remove from a washing machine before use?The transport bolts need to be removed from a new washing machine before using it. The transport bolts keep the drum still while it’s being moved so it doesn’t become damaged.

Most washing machines only have a cold water inlet supply pipe but you might have a hot water supply pipe also, both will need to be disconnected. 3. Disconnect the Drain HoseIf your washing is right next to the kitchen sink there is a good chance you can disconnect everything from under the sink. It's just that with all the takeovers and mergers the range of fittings available has diminished over the years. I'd got the impression that parallel thread BSP brass caps and plugs were among the casualties. I have wondered whether the hot water would be too hot for the hot-melt glue but I think the glue melting-point is sufficiently high. I think we're at cross purposes in the first part of your post. The blanking caps I was looking for were to blank the port on the washing machine valve union where the washing machine hose connects, not to blank the end of a run of copper pipe.
