I am trying to extend a dishwasher drain hose using a 3/4 outlet union and jubilee clips ( that was how the man at B&Q said to do it!). But the machine hose (SMEG) seems to be a smaller diameter than the 21mm of the extension and won't accept the outlet union spigot. Is there such a thing as a outlet union reducer from 3/4"? what do I do now? Grateful for any help.
 
How far have you to go us they sell extra long hoses

it also may be easier to enlongate the feed pipes to the machine as any joint you make will be very very weak and could leak at any time
 
i cant remember the exact size of my dishwasher pipe but,most of the sheds sell "longer" waste pipes but you have to actually get into the machine :evil: (sometimes).when i extended mine i used 15mm copper to a 22mm reducer and then used jubilee clips,it definately beat opening up the dishwasher !:D
