A laundry faucet is a device used to fill and empty a laundry machine.
Think of the washer as a large bucket with water in it. Next to that bucket, for convenience’s sake, is the faucet – this moves the flow of water from one part of the house into that bucket; then out again when you turn it off.
The process takes quite a while because you are moving such huge quantities of water, so there is usually a pressure hold-down valve on the way down. And you can slow or stop or pause without waiting for all that weighty fluid which is going in mega fast to come out at once and really slosh everywhere because gravity sucks!
A leaking laundry faucet is not merely an inconvenience; it is a subtle plea for attention, echoing from a critical corner of your home.
