Hello,
I've extended my washing machine waste hose using one of these:
Wickes anti siphon part
I used this part, as a standard waste hose connector didn't give me a very tight fit and leaked slightly. This one fits really tightly. I've blocked up the small hole on the valve and jubilee clipped it and there doesn't seem to be any leaks.
I just wanted to check with anyone with plumbing knowledge that this is ok? I'm not sure what the anti-siphon does, as the part just seems to be open, but with a simple valve at the side.
Any help greatly appreciated.
