Connecting drainage pipes

[datliz]

Hi
We have recently had a new kitchen fitted but unfortunately the washing machine has not been sited next to an outside wall. The fitters have had to extend the drainage pipe and it is now snaking under the units and out the wall, however on first use the pipes came apart and there was water everywhere.
The builder suggested putting jubilee clips on but I am worried they aren't suitable for rubber pipes.
Please can someone let me know if it is safe to connect the 2 pipes without the risk of them coming apart again and if so what is the best way to do this?? If not the only place we can put the washing machine is in the garage.
Many thanks!

Jubilee clips used to hold hot pressurised radiator hoses so would be fine on any rubber hoses.

Most waste pipes for WMCs are thinish plastic but the jubilee clips will help a lot and are normally used in this application.

Thanks very much Tony you've put my mind at rest.

Is this the ribbed waste pipe that emerges from the appliance? If so, has it been installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, which usually require that the hose is raised to the height of the top of the appliance before dropping down to connect to the rigid waste system?

however on first use the pipes came apart and there was water everywhere.

Which pipes came apart, and how were they connected?

This is the nub of your problem - letting a builder do plumbing.

I know you haven't had a chance to answer the question I posed above, but what are these "2 pipes"?

Well my mind isn't put at all at rest by this utter b*llocks. This is what happens when radio engineers attempt to give plumbing advice.

Jubilee clips are all very well, but in automotive applications the spigot is ribbed so that the hose cannot come off when the clip is tightened - it isn't the clip holding the hose on, it's the hose. If you attempt to attach a hose to a plain pipe or spigot, it will slip off if the pressure is too high, or could just pull off if under tension.

Softus,
The 2 pipes are I think the ribbed waste pipes - they are rubber and grey and they have to be connected because the pipe fitted isn't long enough to reach wherever it's supposed to reach (as it has been sited away from the outside wall).
They are the same pipe, one is just an extension of the other.
Please let me know what you think. . .

What was used to connect them? Has the extension been done as per manufacturer's destrucitons.... check the book.
