Full details

The SPARES2GO Universal Cold Water Inlet Fill Hose is an essential replacement component designed for homeowners and renters who need a reliable, extended water supply line for their washing machine or dishwasher. Measuring 2.5 metres, this hose provides extra reach for appliances positioned further from the water source, though users should ensure their specific installation area accommodates the additional length to avoid kinks or tripping hazards.

FAQs

Does this hose come with washers?

Yes, the hose includes the necessary internal rubber seals to ensure a watertight connection.

Can this be used for hot water?

No, this is specifically designed for cold water supply systems.

Is this compatible with all brands?

The hose uses the industry-standard 3/4 inch BSP thread, making it compatible with almost all domestic washing machines and dishwashers.

What tools do I need for installation?

In most cases, you can tighten the connectors by hand, but having an adjustable wrench handy is useful for final tightening.

How long is the hose?

This model is 2.5 metres in length.

Which end attaches to the machine?

You can use either end, but the 90-degree angled end is specifically designed to save space at the back of the appliance.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the connection point

Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated inside the hose collar and tighten the connection slightly more with a wrench.

Hose is too long and kinking

Gently coil the excess length behind the appliance in a wide loop, ensuring there are no sharp bends that restrict water flow.

Unable to screw onto the tap

Verify that the tap has a standard 3/4 inch BSP male thread and that you are not attempting to connect to a non-standard aerator or specialized fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Generous 2.5m length accommodates difficult kitchen or laundry layouts
Versatile 90-degree connector helps prevent hose kinking in tight spaces
Standard BSP threading ensures broad compatibility with most major appliance brands
Cost-effective solution for replacing damaged or leaky inlet hoses

Cons

Only intended for cold water supply; not suitable for hot water inlets
Extra length can lead to tangling if not managed behind the appliance
Requires manual tightening which may be difficult in cramped under-counter spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the cold water tap is fully closed. Remove the old hose and verify that the rubber washers are present in the connectors of the new SPARES2GO hose. Screw the straight end onto the tap outlet and the angled end onto the appliance inlet, ensuring the threads are aligned correctly to prevent cross-threading. Once connected, open the tap slowly and inspect the joints for any moisture or leaks. For maintenance, check the connection points every six months for signs of mineral buildup or degradation of the rubber seals. If the hose becomes brittle over many years of use, it is recommended to replace it to avoid potential burst pipes.
