80's Owl Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 I've just bought a Bosch dishwasher and the water connection is of a type I've never seen before, the Beko one I have replaced it with had a standard 3/4" washing machine type connection whereas the Bosch has the thing below that doesn't fit onto the mains 3/4" isolator, there was nothing else supplied to make this connection, what do I need to do?

SteamyTea Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 I usually use the feed that came with the last washer. Must be 20 years old now. Is it some sort of filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ones built in at the appliance end so I can't just swap the hose, it looks like a filter but not sure, I've not seen anything like it before.

trialuser Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 (edited) I believe its their safety device whereby if it detects an abnormal flow of water, eg a leak within the machine, it cuts off the supply. As far as I remember, mine just screwed into the existing house plumbing EDIT, Aquastop Edited December 9 by trialuser added name of thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Washing machine connections I have always used are 3/4” not 1/2” 🤷♂️ https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-compression-washing-machine-valve-without-check-valve-15mm-x-3-4-/51231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Ah, I misinterpreted your post. Can you check the paperwork to see if it’s mentioned, if not what model is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Yes it’s called Aquastop and is used across the Bosch family brand. It has a solenoid that closes if it detects a leak. It uses a 3/4” thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialuser Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 (edited) 99% sure mine just screwed onto a 3/4 inch isolator valve. Perhaps have a cup of tea and try again 😁 Edited December 9 by trialuser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 No,, that’s an in line washing machine/dishwasher 3/4” connector. Are you sure your machine came with a 1/2” ? Measure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheaper end of their range don’t have them. It also comes with a warranty that should it not stop a leak they’ll cover the damage. However they also know that dishwashers rarely leak from the cold water inlet so they’re providing a feature you don’t really need and charging you more for it.

Measure it. I only guessed it was half inch due to the fact I couldn't get it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 We've got a similar fitting on our Miele dishwasher and that screwed onto a 3/4" washing machine tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. I’m a bit like that too. Sometimes sleeping on stuff is the best way to fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
