Washing machine replacement - do I need to block off hot water supply pipe
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2022 2:48 pm
I am having a new washing machine delivered next week to replace my old one which has both a hot and cold supply and I am assuming the new machine will require a cold supply only thereby making the hot feed redundant. Both supply pipes are fitted with on/off valves but I wanted to know if it is sufficient to simply turn off the tap on the hot valve or do I need to blank it off with something as well. Maybe I'm unduly concerned but I'd hate for it to spring a leak in the future.
