Hi all, I've just moved into a rented flat and have bought a washing machine which I thought I'd be able to fit myself fairly easily. However I am having trouble connecting the inlet hose to the tap under the sink pointing upwards. The problem is that the tap is directly under the sink and the hose will not bend enough to get any kind of seal around the connection. No matter how tight I fasten it the water sprays everywhere when I turn the valve on.
I have tried connecting the hose to the hot water tap which is set further away from the sink and I can connect this no problem, but there just isn't the room to do this for the cold tap.
The easiest solution I can think of is to connect the hose the other way round, ie use the angled end under the sink. Is this okay to do?
I would've have thought there'd be some kind of 90 degree adapter for this kind of thing but I can't find anything.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
