5250060 Genuine Bromic Stainless Steel Braided Inlet Hose 2m, 90 Degree Elbow to Straight, for Washing Machines and Dishwashers

Part 5250060 is a Bromic stainless steel braided inlet hose, 2m long, with a 90 degree elbow at one end and a straight fitting at the other. The elbow lets the hose drop away from the connection without a tight bend, which helps when the appliance sits close to the wall. The stainless braid wraps the inner hose and protects it far better than a plain rubber hose.

Replacing a washing machine or dishwasher inlet hose

An inlet hose stays under mains pressure whenever the tap is on, even while the appliance is idle. Rubber hoses perish with age, and a burst can flood a laundry or kitchen in minutes. Warning signs include bulges, cracks near the fittings, damp patches behind the machine or rust marks on the braiding. Many repairers treat inlet hoses as a routine replacement item, and moving a machine to a new home is a good time to fit fresh ones.

Fitting the braided hose

Turn off the tap and switch the appliance off at the wall. Undo the old hose and catch the water left inside it with a towel or bucket. Check each fitting has its sealing washer in place, then screw the ends on by hand and finish with a gentle snug from a spanner. Turn the tap on slowly and check both ends for drips before pushing the machine back.

Questions about this part

Will this hose suit my machine?

Compare the end fittings with your current hose and measure from the tap to the appliance inlet, allowing for a gentle curve. The 90 degree end is handy where there's little room behind the machine.
