John DalInstalling washing machines-- Can anyone on here explain why all the advice I can find on the maximum length of a water inlet hose for a washing machine is about 1.5 metres? Surely it's just an extension of the tens of meters of pipework to get the water to where it's attached?

@OliverNoble Sorry, me being stupid! I'll add the info I missed! It concerns installing a washing machine.
@JohnDal
For a washing machine, i cant see it having any functional issues at all
Some equipment like pressure washers that *pump* water dont like the restriction to flow from flexible pipes and hoses (the hoses are often small bore) but washing machines just open a valve a water flows in
Very, very low *pressure* can occasionally cause problems with the initial opening of inlet valve but that isnt the case with restricted flow
