Washing Machine drain hose just won't stretch.

[rezarf]

So we have just moved home and I've went to fit the washing machine and the drainage hose won't fit.

Here is what I'm working with.


I'm about 20cm too short to fit it. I thought I needed a longer hose 2.5m but upon inspection the original hose is 2.5m just that a metre is inside the machine.

I've tried all manor of configurations but it will not fit.

Should I just get an extender or is there a better way?

An extension piece IS the bset way, or just a plain old longer hose (Assuming it's not integral to the machine)

I've seen this

But is it OK the extend the hose further than 2.5m as with this it would be an extra 50cm at leat with the hose un stretched

Don't use those collapsible hoses, they can kink real easily. Use a proper hose extension

I have this exact hose, I bought it thinking it would be longer but its just the same size as original.

So is it ok to extend the original hose using this new one along with a connector between the two hoses and a couple of jubilee clips?

Would this type of connector work?

Connect the two drainage hoses together

 

[Madrab]

Yes, it's ok to extend the original using the extension and connector, couple of jubilee's for extra piece of mind

Well it's finally fixed. I used the connector along with a couple of jubilee clips then put some duct tape around the join for good measure and now all is well.

Thanks for all the help.

I don't think duct tape will do much good except hide any leaks.
