Someone posted a thread liek this in 2004 and I would also like to discuss the topic. The original post was:
"Hi,
I hope somebody can help. I've recently moved my fridge (with icemaker) to the other side of the kitchen. There is no water supply there so I bought 10m of washing machine hose and two connectors for either end (*).
Now when I switch on the supply both connectors drip. I've checked the rubber washers are placed correctly inside and retightened and checked for cross threading. Everything looks fine but still continues to leak once the water is turned on.
Would using 10m of this hose cause a problem for the connectors? Pressure?
They do look a bit cheap compared to those you usually find supplied with a w/c. Did B&Q just sell me duffers?
(*) I also actually have a brass male/male connector at the fridge end to enable the built in fridge pipe to connect. I don't think this is causing the problem though.
erm. HELP. Switching off the mains and running pipes all over the kitchen is looking like the easier option now.
Jel"
Anyone know where I can get these hoses and if not, where can I get connectors to allow me to join them together?
