Blanking cap for washing machine installation?

[joannasibbald]

Hi team,

I am about to take delivery of a F&P top loading washing machine.  We only have a cold water outlet tap and I'm told we need to cap off the hot water pipe with a 'blanking cap'.  Are these easy to find?  Does Bunnings carry these?  Many thanks.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @joannasibbald. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about washing machine installation.

You should find this Philmac 3/4" BSP Thread Pipe Cap will blank off the hot inlet on your machine. Just remember to use a little thread tape to seal the threads.

Please let me know if you need further assistance or have questions.

Many thanks Mitchell!

The Bunnings crew helped me find the cap and all seems to be well.
