I am trying to connect my dishwasher's drain hose to the under-sink drain.
They are roughly the same size and the drain connector bit only goes into the hose a couple millimetres, not enough to hold it in. I understand that there is a rubber hose thingy that goes over both of them, secured with some metal holder ring. Is that so, and if so what is that rubbery thing called and where can I buy it? Would it be available in big chain stores (such as Wickes or Homebase)?
Thanks

Not so sure this is what your looking for, but going on the description of others, describes your problem. Would look like the end of your hose would be cut off. In that case, may be better to find a spigot that has a third set of reducing to get into your hose end!

Thanks, that looks like what I need.
My dishwasher isn't Bosh, it's a Hotpoint Aquarius. I guess the hose would be the same size?
I tried finding a smaller connector to fit into the hose but I can't find anything in the main stores

Or hacksaw the grey plastic bit of the end and then it'll push over the spigot and just secure it via a jubliee clip?

That was my first thought, but then both the hose and the spigot are plastic so I thought that would leak without some washer to make it watertight.
