What to consider while selecting a washing machine inlet pipe:
1. Material – The most commonly used materials for making inlet pipes are rubber, PVC, or steel braided pipes. The material used for the pipe should be flexible, smooth, and durable. So, prefer to purchase a good quality PVC plastic material that suits perfectly for inlet pipes.
2. Tap Adapter – They are two types of tap adapters – fixed and expandable. So, depending on your requirement, you can choose the right one. Also, consider the diameter of the adapter that should suit your tap properly.
3. Length – The length of the pipe should be long enough to reach the tap and the washing machine. Or else, it may result in a loose connection and thus leads to water leakage. So, check it before making the purchase.Â
