Essential Steps for Leak-Proof Washing Machine Faucet Installation

In daily life, many electrical appliances bring convenience to our lives, such as washing machines, which are now more intelligent and fully automatic. With just a press of a button and a few settings, they can serve us well. If you install a washing machine at home, you not only need to ensure the machine is installed correctly but also make sure the water faucet is properly connected. How to install a washing machine faucet to prevent water leakage?

1. How to install a washing machine faucet to prevent leakage

Firstly, you need to prepare the fitting. Hold down the valve of the water inlet pipe with one hand and pull down while removing the fitting.

Next, loosen the screws on the connector to leave a certain gap, then rotate the connector on the faucet and tighten the four threaded connections upwards to ensure that there won't be any leakage issues later on. You can also use a wrench to twist it clockwise to ensure it is securely fastened.

2. Why does water spray out when the washing machine faucet is turned on?

If the washing machine faucet has been used for a long time, the seal inside may get damaged, causing water leakage when the faucet is turned on. In this case, you need to turn off the faucet and replace the internal washer. After replacing, check if there is still a leakage issue.

If the leakage persists, disconnect the inlet pipe and fitting, then inserting the faucet's spout according to the thread direction, tighten four screws around it, and insert a transparent lining into the aluminum connector. After that, choose a thicker washer and place it in the nut with a filter, then tighten it. Finally, reconnect the hose to the washing machine. This should generally solve the leakage problem.

If leakage still occurs, you can tighten the nut further with a wrench.

The information above specifically explains how to install a washing machine faucet to ensure it does not leak. An effective method is to add a washer in the nut with a filter and ensure it is tightly connected with the thicker aluminum connector to guarantee a watertight seal, which should prevent leaks.
