Hello everyone,
hope this category fits - the following problem:
I have an angled device shut-off valve (a tap with a 3/4 inch thread for the dishwasher). Due to space constraints, I cannot fit the water stop underneath it.
-> Is it permissible to mount a 3/4 inch angled piece (e.g. 45°) onto the tap and then put the aquastop on it? I would probably have to seal the angled piece with Teflon tape? In principle, this is no different from the valve on the wall plate itself, right? That also only has one thread and is constantly under pressure...
-> Alternatively, I could buy a braided hose for extension. But I'm a bit more worried about whether it will hold up permanently. Also, the original Miele hose would cost 100 €. Cheaper options are possible, but in case of damage, the insurance would probably be more difficult...
What would you recommend? What is approved? Which solution would avoid issues with the insurance?
Regards & thanks,
Marco
