Different end to waste pipe

Replacement washing machine drain hose end differs from original

The problem

The original washing machine waste hose had worn through and started leaking. A replacement hose had been bought, but its end fitting differed from the old hose, causing uncertainty about how to attach it.

Likely cause

The replacement was a standard drain hose with a different end connector from the original installation arrangement.

What fixed it

The accepted advice was that if the machine drains into a standpipe, the hose end style is usually not important. If it connects to a u-bend spigot via a tapered plastic tube, any oversized rubber end on the new hose can be cut off and the corrugated hose pushed fully onto the tube, then secured with a jubilee clip or tightly fitted cable ties. The thread was marked solved, but the original poster did not confirm the final fitting result.

Checks to try

• Original hose was reported as worn and leaking
• Replacement hose end was compared with the original and found to be different
• Connection type to either a standpipe or u-bend spigot was identified as the key check
