How do you plumb in a washing machine when the hot and cold pipes are not labelled (in the UK)?
I distinguish to to fit the washing machine, it's just that the two pipes that I need to fit the washing machine to have nothing to show whether they are the hot or cold pipes. Is there a rule that the one on the left is always the hot one etc?
Thanks
Put off the hot water tap on and feel the pipes one of them will start to get hot.Job done.
red is hot downcast is cold
That's because they both fill up the same drum in the washing machine
Could you rightful turn the valve and feel the water temperature of one of the pipes?
That's what I did here in the U.S.

it by the skin of one's teeth doesn't matter if it isn't indicated.
you can decide while plumbing, which pipe to fit where - hot to left, cold to right .... or failing-versa.
accordingly, you can designate the taps/valves.

Intimation the pipes back to the joints with the main pipework, turn on the hot supply at the sink tap and where the washer pipe is bewitched off the main hot pipe will heat up as water passes through.
link one of your washer hose to one of the pipes hold the other end over a bucket or sink then open the valve you will then find out
Clear.
run both taps in the sink above... generally in MODERN (post 1970) houses the hot is supposed to be on the port side in the UK but older properties can be either.
the you can find which isolator is which...

If you can sign the pipes to your kitchen sink taps that would be a way of finding out which is which.
If the pipes are just a "run" and you cannot see where they go then run the hot tap for a while until the very hot liberally comes

Amplify the hot water tap on and feel the pipes one of them will start to get hot.Job done.
what way are your taps , continue the piping to them and that will
tell you, what is what,

I undertake you mean there are no markings on the machine to indicate hot or cold?
Buy a Y piece connector from b&q and connect both pipes to the cold outfit,the machine will heat its own water.
Most modern machines are cold fill only as
