How to choose the right washing machine stops

Washing machine stop taps connect to the hot and cold inlet points behind your machine, so check your laundry's existing wall outlet spacing and thread size before ordering a replacement pair. A quarter-turn lever handle is the quickest to operate day to day, which matters if you get into the habit of shutting the water off after each wash to protect the hoses from constant pressure.

Choose round or square body styles and a finish that matches your laundry tapware and fittings, since these are often visible above a laundry trough or in an open laundry nook. If you are renovating a laundry, it is worth fitting new stop taps at the same time as any new trough mixer so the finish and style are consistent throughout the space.

Frequently asked questions

What is a washing machine stop tap?
A washing machine stop tap is a wall-mounted isolation valve that connects to a washing machine's hot and cold inlet hoses, letting you shut off water supply to the machine without turning off water to the rest of the house.
Are washing machine stops sold individually or in pairs?
Washing machine stops are typically sold as a pair, one for the hot supply and one for the cold, since most washing machines require both connections.
Why should I turn off washing machine stop taps when not in use?
Washing machine hoses are a common source of household water damage if they fail while under constant pressure. Turning off the stop taps when the machine is not running removes pressure from the hoses and reduces the risk of a leak or burst hose causing damage.
What handle types are available on washing machine stops?
Lamex stocks washing machine stop taps with quarter-turn lever handles for quick, easy shut-off, in round and square styles across chrome, black, brushed gold and brushed nickel finishes.
