Reply To: Washing machine inlet hoses

Washing machine inlet hoses connect to shut-off valves that supply the appliance with clean water. The two most common types of inlet hoses are a reinforced rubber hose and a stainless steel braided hose. The difference between the two is the braided hose has a higher burst resistance and costs a little more. Installing the inlet hoses yourself eliminates the cost associated with hiring a professional technician.
