Washer Fill Valve Installation Tips

Here are a couple of quick tips for replacing your washer's fill valve. The valve shown is the WH13X81, but this applies to most.

I always replace the fill hose washers whenever the washer hoses are removed. It's cheap insurance against leaks. 

Also, if your water supply carries much sediment, as well water usually does, it's a good idea to add screens at the faucet ends of the hoses. Makes it much easier to clean them when they're up there within reach, than if they're inside the valve on the back of the machine.
