strung together this:

You would also need to adapt the filling loop exit to fit the w/m hose
The hose is 3/4 male and the filling loop end is likely 1/2 female.


And if you were to do that wouldn't that make the filling loop supply
a washing machine supply valve thus meaning the boiler would fail it's
next service for not having an accesiblee filling loop?

It might at least mean the filling loop gets disconnected
sometimes, which normally never happens ;-)

Thanks for all the info Gents,

I was considering putting a washing machine T on the supply side of the
loop and leaving the loop permanently connected to the T with the loops
boiler-side shut off valve closed. Or are there supposed to be 2 shut
off valves?

Boiler filling loops (have a look at screwfix parts NO. 23455) have a
valve at the water inlet end and double check valve at the 'boiler' end.
You can of course remove (the braided part) between top up of the heating,
if fact it's what you are supposed to do. If you wanted to use the outlet
of the braided part to run the w/m you will likely need a fitting to
connect the end of the hose (likely 1/2 BSP F) to the w/m hose 3/4" F.

If you are going to that much trouble then you have to have an
overwhelming but rather bad reason - like there is no way to turn off the
mains.
