THIS TYPE OF CONNECTOR IS USED TO FIX A WASHING MACHINE / DISHWASHER FLEXIBLE PIPE ONTO. TURNING THE LEVER SWITCHES WATER OFF. ( SEE THE PICTURE TO THE RIGHT) |
THIS IS A TYPICAL ARRANGEMENT FOR PLUMBING UNDER A WORK SURFACE, STOP COCKS SHOWN IN OFF POSITION. |
A "Y" PIECE CAN BE USED TO CONNECT BOTH HOT AND COLD PIPES TO COLD ONLY PLUMBING THUS "CHEATING" MACHINE INTO THINKING IT IS TAKING IN HOT WATER. OR CONNECT BOTH A WASHING MACHINE AND DISHWASHER TO SAME STOP COCK. |
|
A WAY TO CONNECT BOTH A WASHING MACHINE AND A DISHWASHER TO THE SAME OUTLET THE "T" ADAPTOR COULD BE SUBSTITUTED FOR A "Y" PIECE. (UK MACHINES HAVE PLASTIC CONNECTORS ON END OF FLEXIBLE PIPES NOT METAL AS SHOWN HERE). |
THE ABOVE PICTURE ILLUSTRATES THE REASON WHY WE ASK FOR THE OLD MACHINE TO BE DISCONNECTED IF WE ARE TO REMOVE IT!!!. THE CORROSION AROUND THE TAP CAN EASILY BE SEEN, LEADING TO STOP COCK UNABLE TO BE TURNED OFF PIPES CRACKING OR LEAKING ETC. |
THIS IS ANOTHER WAY THAT A WASTE PIPE CAN BE FITTED, EASILY REMOVED BY UNDOING THE JUBILEE CLIP. (PROVIDED IT IS NOT RUSTED) NOTE THE CORROSION ON THE INLET PIPE. |
