cold fill washing machine

Cannibalise an old hose (cut off the plastic stub) - insert an appropriate coin behind the rubber washer and fit it to the tap.

Thanks, I guess it comes down to whether you want '2p or not 2p'

Not being very confident in home made solutions, I was kind of hoping someone would be able to point me in the direction of what I need to ask for and where I need to ask for it.

You can get a blanking cap from a plumbers merchant, but probably not until Tuesday.

You want a 'blank nut' if you're talking screwfix's language:

No, no, no, no, no! It is a bodge up & will eventualy leak like a pig!

Go to a proper plumbing supply place & ask for a 3/4" MALE BSP blanking plug. Use some PTFE tape & bobs your uncle.

I'd like to see a photo of the push buttons, never come across those before.

Why did you ask here, then?

Surely a 3/4" BSP blanking cap. That would be female IMHO.

sure you don't mean robertas your auntie?

Personally I think that hot fill has had its day and would remove the appliance valve.

My lastest washing machine uses so little water that unless I've used the downstairs hot tap recently, the water it gets isn't hot anyway.

Sorry, I didn't realise I had to ask your permission first if I wanted to buy something from a shop rather than use a home made solution.

Thanks for the answers folks.

He's like that. He has a degree in biological washing powder or something.

Not convinced it would leak like a pig - the coin would press the washer onto the seating - just the same as the hose fitting does. If I was to use a blanking plug then I would prefer to have a washer in it than to try to seal the thread.

John (not the one that caused upset (I think)

Just re read the OP & realised that the shut off would be a male thread, so you would need a 3/4" FEMALE blanking plug.

It's a blanking _CAP_ FFS Why cant people like Screwfix and stupid handymen use the correct terminology.

I make that 2 -1 to us :-)
