I had to move my washing machines grey wast pipe as it was in the way whilst i was doing a job under the sink.
I wasnt sure how to remove it so i gave it a gentle tug where the end of the hose joins the pipe that connects to the ubend (pretty much where the dotted line is on the image.
The hose remained attached to the plastic, but the plastic came away from the ubend where the screw on joint is on the right hand side of the image. It didnt feel like anything had broken and i didnt have to pull very hard to do this.
At the end i slotted the 2 sections back together but now they dont seem to fit together as well, whereas at the start i had to tug them appart now i can seperate them with one finger. it is as though there is something missing?
Also i'm not really sure what the screw on fitting on the is meant to do because the thin section on the right fits through it so it cant hold it in place.
In the end i have managed to reduce the leak to a drip by using some rubber to increase the size of the tube the hose connects to where it joins the U to make a more snug fit.
Any ideas???
