Yes it is, but only in houses with unvented
hot water systems or combis
does the hot get a look in, because
the power of the mains pressure makes
sure that the flow rate through the cold
inlet is far in excess of the
hot. Only when the machine is on a really
hot wash does it fill only from
hot.

The cold supply should turned down using an auto flow regulator Aquaflow
supply these . They will go in the end of the hose. Then hot and cold at
the same flow.
