Re: Parts for Tap to washing machine

Hello @ramann 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your washing machine. 

 

I propose removing your spout and replacing it with a Shaw & Mason Chrome Bath Spout With Diverter. In order for your washing machine inlet to fit you will also need to attach a Brasshards 20 x 15mm Brass Threaded Hex Reducing Bush to the diverter outlet. Please make sure to use plumber's tape on all the threaded sections to prevent leaks. When you wish to use your washing machine simply turn the diverter on the spout and water will be re-directed to the washing machine.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
