Washer Supply Fittings Loose?

[index1489]

Just had a new washer/dryer installed, during the installation I noticed when the installer tightened the new hoses on the water supply outlets, both outlets rotated slightly 20-30 degrees. I assumed these were sweat fittings and shouldn't be able to rotate like that.

Grabbing the hose I can get both outlets to rotate in each direction 20-30 degrees, is this normal?

The supply box is from IPScorp "Water-Tite" looks like this one.

Place was built 2006.
Had the previous washer installed for over a year with no issues, this one for a couple of days again no issues noticed yet.

Photos attached.

If I'm not mistaken, built in 06 would be pex. If that's the case, I wouldn't worry about them rotating, just keep your eye on them. I know shark bites you can move and they're still

Sorry still getting used to the process of the fourm. That a/w books looks correct to me , sometimes they move and sometimes they don't. As long as it not leaking, you'll be fine. I used to put hundreds of those in when I work new construction. Water-tite brand moves and others do or don't as well

You could also have CPVC pipe. CPVC and Pex could rotate a bit but be careful you can damage the piping in the wall causing a water leak. Just a bit of advice, I would change the cold water hose to a stainless breaded also.

Yea I just rotated it once to check and left it alone it seems fine for now, I'm going to change those hoses, I ordered both stainless hoses but the dryer also needs water for steam, so the cold water has a Y a rubber hose going to the dryer and then into the wall.
