How to install a washing machine faucet?

For the installation of a convential washing machine tap, it's simple enough:

1. Shut off the water supply;

2. Attach the end of the washing machine's water inlet pipe to the tap's threading;

3. Link the washing machine's connector to that of the tap (use teflon tape to ensure a tight seal).

The installation of a self-piercing faucet requires you to:

1. Clean the line pipe;

2. Loosen the pipe clamps so that it can be shifted away from the wall and remove the tap's connecting flanges;

3. Place the flanges on the chosen location and screw them in;

4. Line the tap up, in the closed position, so that it goes into the flange's threading and screw in to drill the pipe;

5. Tighten the lock nut with a flat wrench to ensure the tap is securely locked in;

6. Connect the tip of the appliance's supply hose to the tap's threading.
