10k SATS BOUNTY!⚡️

How do I get the water thingy right when connecting to my washing machine? Right now it’s either no water or it leaks from the pressure. #asknostr

You need to add teflon tape

This!

Teflon tape does nothing on these typ askes of fittings.

You need hose washers between all hose and faucet/inlet connections.

They're usually black, not red.

That makes sense!

You beat me to it

That won't work.. Replace the rubber o-rings between the hose and fauset and tighten with plier's 😉

3/4" size 😉

If you don’t need the splitter that comes out of the wall valve, first of all I’d get rid of it and connect the washing machine tube directly to the valve on the wall (looks like your not using the one on the right in the first photo) then you should be able to just open the main valve and get water into the washing machine, if one side of the tube leaks, try tightening it, if it still leaks unscrew it from both sides and check the rubber washer that’s inside the tube head, if it looks worn out you can try adding some teflon tape (if you have any) otherwise just bring the tubing to a hardware store, buy a new one and install.

Not sure I’ve understood the question, but.

Unscrew both 1 and 2, replace the rubber between male and female (not sure in English you call it in the same way). Then use a plier to screw it back, but don’t use too much strength because it could cut the new rubber.

Are you using plumbers tape? That would probably help!

Usa contá de teflón, muy importante

If you don't have teflon tape, you can use plastic bag pieces to make up for it

Is the rubber o ring still fine?

Try replacing that if it's old and deformed.

If it is fine and it's still leaking, you can wrap some plumber's tape around the threads.

It’s not seated right. Loosen it, Center it, and then tighten it back up.

Loosen it, Center the line and retighten it. As you tighten it, keep making sure that it’s centered. It will guide itself into its seat.
