Mr Punter Posted Saturday at 10:49 Share Posted Saturday at 10:49 Swap the isolation valves for these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/jg-speedfit-15aptp-washing-machine-tap-15mm-x-3-4-/18908 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted Saturday at 10:53 Share Posted Saturday at 10:53 Or these (my preferred type) https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-compression-washing-machine-valve-without-check-valve-15mm-x-3-4-/51231. If you don’t want to drain the water then a short length of copper pipe from the existing to the new ones will work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted Saturday at 11:09 Share Posted Saturday at 11:09 I am assuming those 2 pipes, one is hot water, one is cold water? So you probably won't use the hot water and you will first need a bit of pipe out of the cold isolating valve to a tee then to two washing machine valves. And some brackets to clamp the pipes to the wall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted Saturday at 12:10 Share Posted Saturday at 12:10 Take this photo to your local builders' merchants or plumbers' merchant. Not screwfix, toolstation, b and q. They will sell you the necessary few parts including flexi hose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of those. After a few years I had to change my machine, twisted the lever, and it snapped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to switch them on/off now and again to keep them working. Edited Saturday at 21:18 by joe90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago If the handle breaks like that, you can get a spanner on the flat of the shaft and shift it. I have several spare handles from the days when washing machines had hot feeds, and each WM tap came with 2 handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is a very cheap moulding and they could probably use a different plastic and solve the problem. Not as if the handle is the expensive part. The expense is in the marketing, packaging, distribution, merchandising and mark up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
