Which valve is hot water and which one is cold water for installing a washer?
Just got a new house and the valves are the same color, I can’t tell them apart and when I turn them on cold water comes out from both of them. I need to know if there is a universal way of telling which one is hot and the other cold water so I can install my washer.
It depends on the installation. Generally if the valves are mounted side by side the hot water is usually on the left. You should place a washer hose on one of the valves and let the water run into the waste water line for about 30 seconds. All the cold water in the hot water line should be out by then and if it’s hot… then Bobs your uncle… You’ll know.
