2. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions during installation and use:
- Ensure the water supply is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the hose.
- Do not overtighten connections, as this may damage the hose or fittings.
- Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Replace immediately if damage is found.
- Do not expose the hose to open flames or extreme heat sources.
- Ensure the hose is not kinked or pinched during installation or operation, as this can restrict water flow or cause damage.
3. Package Contents
The package should contain:
- 1 x Mumusuki 1.5m G3/4in Universal Washing Machine Inlet Hose
4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your washing machine inlet hose:
- Prepare the Connection Points: Ensure the water supply faucet is turned off. Clear any debris from the faucet outlet and the washing machine inlet valve.
- Identify Hose Ends: The hose has two distinct ends. One end is a straight threaded connector (G3/4in) designed for the water supply faucet, and the other is an angled connector designed for the washing machine inlet.
- Connect to Water Supply Faucet: Attach the straight threaded end of the hose to your water supply faucet. Ensure the rubber washer is properly seated inside the connector. Hand-tighten the connection, then use a wrench to tighten an additional quarter to half turn. Do not overtighten. This connector is designed for a G3/4in thread diameter (approximately 25mm) and is suitable for faucets with a water outlet diameter less than 18mm.
- Connect to Washing Machine: Attach the angled connector end of the hose to the water inlet valve on your washing machine. Hand-tighten the connection securely.
- Check for Leaks: Once both ends are connected, slowly turn on the water supply to the faucet. Inspect both connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are present, turn off the water supply and re-tighten the connections.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your inlet hose:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the entire length of the hose and its connections for any signs of wear, cracks, bulges, or leaks. It is recommended to inspect at least once every six months.
- Cleaning: If mineral deposits or debris accumulate at the connection points, turn off the water supply, disconnect the hose, and clean the fittings with a soft brush and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Avoid Kinks: Ensure the hose is not sharply bent or kinked, as this can weaken the material over time. The hose is flexible but should not be subjected to extreme angles.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your washing machine inlet hose, consider the following:
- Leaks at Connections:
- Ensure connections are tightened properly (hand-tight plus a quarter to half turn with a wrench).
- Check that rubber washers are correctly seated and not damaged. Replace if necessary.
- Low Water Flow:
- Verify that the water supply faucet is fully open.
- Check for kinks or blockages in the hose.
- Inspect the inlet screens on the washing machine and faucet for debris.
- Hose Damage: If the hose shows any signs of physical damage (cracks, bulges, fraying), it must be replaced immediately to prevent water leaks and potential property damage.
