Washing machine hose connector not screwing on fully

[Numanaly]

Hi! Sorry we are first time buyers! So May be a stupid question! The water hose for our new washing machine doesn’t fit the water inlet? (Photos attached). It screws on but not all the way, and if I open the valve it sprays water everywhere. Do I need a connector or something? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

They look like standard appliance valves, with an adapter screwed on (black bit).

If you add a pic showing the back of the adapter/opposite end of the valve to the 15mm compression, we should be able to confirm. Or just get a spanner/grips and remove the black adapter and the hose should connect correctly.

Remove the black adapter

Remove the black adapter

Sorry if it’s a stupid question, but do both these come off? Or is it just one piece? And is there a threaded section under the black threaded section?

it should undo off the silver valve

One piece

yes the valve is threaded to accept the machine hose

They do, as Shaun replied, remove the adapter

Thanks for the update. The silver valve thread will not need any ptfe tape, the washer makes the seal, so don’t be tempted.

Thanks for that! Tested the valve open, runs perfectly!
