Hi @RoseQueen36

Silly question but have you checked inside the cupboard under the laundry trough?

Hello @RoseQueen36

Please note that plumbing work needs to be completed by a licensed professional for safety and compliance.

Thanks for your question, it looks like there’s no connection available for your washing machine hose on the current tap fitting. In general, selecting compatible fittings is straightforward, but making or altering plumbing connections is considered regulated plumbing work and needs to be carried out by a licensed plumber.

A plumber would be able to check your current setup and advise you on the most suitable way to connect the washing machine safely and in line with requirements. It’s worth having a quick conversation with a plumber so you know the options available for your installation.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
