I have a washing machine around 1 year old. In my new apartment, which is more than 10 years old, the water supply tap is smaller than washing machine's pipe connection. Any ideas?

  2. Try measuring and google. They will have the right adapter at puuilo

  3. Going wrong. You should have a valve to be able shut down that line into washing machine. Well, atleast washing machines for the clothes need. Is this for clothes or dishwasher?

  4. Apologies for not replying to your question, but…

    Get the installation done by a professional. Your housing company and insurance companies will come after you if anything happens.

    Of course, if you are not living in an apartment and don’t need any kind of insurance the you are free to DIY

  6. You will need a “imusuoja” with the right size. If you’ll only use the adapters you’ll risk dirty water going into the fresh water line. A very no no -thing to happen.

  7. You can find those adapters from almost any hardware store and larger supermarkets (K-rauta, Puuilo, even from Prisma). Take that cap you removed from the inlet pipe and take it with you to the shop and they will help you find the right one.

    I would recommend getting an adapter with backflow protection built in and not just the adapter since it doesn’t cost much extra. It gives some extra protection for your washing machine and the pipes.
