Hello

Take a little bit of filly (if you don't, feather a horse's tail), roll it up (in a good way); a little fat and you squeeze.
you see it's all stupid : Lol:

yes, it's so stupid that it doesn't work, and yet, I've tried it several times .... No way to have something waterproof without this damn seal : Cry:

Hello,
I came across this post because I am trying to connect my washing machine to a thermostatic mixer, but I have a problem with the reducing nipple that I used to switch from 15/21 from the "shower" outlet to the 20 / 27 from the inlet of the machine: I have a leak on the side of the mixer, because, as there is no stop in the bottom of the nipple, I cannot put a seal (it falls through , even on the machine hose, and is useless).
So I wanted to know how you managed to make the machine / mixer connection, for those who did?
Thank you in advance,
Sarah


So there are two things:
- either you use Teflon sealing tape to make your waterproofing; but if you don't have a thread background, it will be difficult to create it! Can you aim it all the way ?! Otherwise, you can always create a conical seal with teflon ...
- either you use a reducing fitting with tapered thread; the taper of the thread is there to seal. You can even use it with a round of Teflon sealing tape.

If it was me, I would preferably use the second solution, by going to change the reducing fitting!

Hello

Normally it is 1/2 inch pipe threads
These nets are always conical, we roll some teflon tape or coat a net paste with it and it is waterproof
some accessories have the same threads but are not conical
these pieces in general have a seat it is necessary to place a rubber washer at the bottom the sealing is done by the washer the straight threads will never be waterproof ..

A washing machine with only one water inlet never seen before, how do manufacturers manage to sell such things?
the machines both have entrances on an electric floor, one for hot water and the other for cold water
the temperature is regulated by adjustment on the machine the rinses are done in cold water as well as the spins, there is an adjustment for the water level in the tank at 3 positions
Inglish, Maitag .Sear ect .. all the same principle (the damn timer that is lacking)
the clothes dryer is more durable over time.

the dishwasher has only one water inlet and it is only hot water

:| He's too strong Andre ...
open up your mind Andre ... unfortunately we French poor have never seen (or almost) a washing machine with 2 entrances. We are condemned for the moment to dream of it or to make hacks not very Catholic.
For info if it has not already been posted:
In some countries (Japan to name but one) washing machines are equipped with 2 entrances. 1 for "dirty" water -> pre-washing and washing + 1 for clean water -> rinsing. The "dirty" water coming for example from the bathtub (where the Japanese do not wash but relax). In the same vein, the hand washers in the toilets do not pour into the sewer but directly into the flushing tank ... which shows that we have a good margin to improve our habits in France. ..

.

It is not forbidden to sell washing machines with a single water inlet, but there is a good chance that they will remain on the shelves.
The customer always has reasons
frost-free refrigerators, that sell hard
electric stoves that do not have a self-cleaning oven sell very poorly.

In reality your salespeople pass the word, and present you the product that they want to sell you, the worst in all that sometimes I look at the washing machines that they sell to us here and they are assembled in Italy or elsewhere, wash bosch dishes.
So something well known and mastered, why is this going for export?

There is a (superior breed) who decide for you what to buy, what should be good for you, when you only have the choice, what they want to leave to the consumers. one entry, but different brand, different color.

Good things had to flow freely

You have good things like the induction stove, and we also have our race of decision-makers, who don't want to sell any here.
they want to sell their ceramic stove, when I see a salesman telling me, it's not good ect .. I don't hesitate to tell him that it's a (thick) one who knows nothing ..
