Hi,

A plumber told me that it's a good idea to shut off water from the
washer when it's not in use because the flexible lines aren't rated to
continuous pressure.

A. Is that true?
B. Does the same apply to the gas line for the dryer?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
There may be some truth in it. But in my whole life I never did that and
never experienced bursted hose. Anyway our washer is located in the
basement right next to floor drain if it ever bursts. If you think about
gas dryer, how about gas fire place, gas range, gas furnace, list goes on.
