If your washing machine or dishwasher is far enough away from your sink then the standard waste pipe that comes with your appliance may not reach the drain spigot. So what do you do in this situation? You extend your washing machine drain pipe, but how to do it?
Well, this video has a really simple way to make your washing machine drain pipe longer without the need for any special tools, you just need the extension kit and a screwdriver! - Навчання та стиль
It's like the new ultimate handyman, but more regional! Simple and effective did my job, thanks for the link
Thankyou so much! I was about to disconnect the whole hose lol
Excellent video. Thank you. You do provide both education and a bit of entertainment the same time. I appreciate that.
What size is the connector
Very helpful, thank you.
You're welcome!
What size connector did you use? I have a split pipe and the connector I used seems to be too small, it isnt a tight fit like the one you installed.
1:46 made me gasp! 🤣
That's why I use a 1/4" socket, never a screwdriver if I can help it...
@@arealassassin i agree, maybe a wider flat driver that fits would help too lol
Very close, you can see the white line on his knuckle.
thank you. Just what I needed.
Glad it helped!
Hi Is that help do you try it ?
thanks
What is that screw in coupler called? I need one for my 1-1/2" Flexible pipe. Looked on Amazon and HomeDepot!
thankyou so much
Most welcome
Hi
Can you give me any tips on how to unscrew a washing machine valve copper blanking cap, iv tried using standard pliers but it won't budge??
Id really appreciate any advice as Iv got a new washing coming.
Ring spanner, box spanner. WD40 or heat it first.
Thank you so much! I was so clueless on how to safely connect the 2 pipes... 😂😂😂
Thank you
Hello what's that little piece called that you connected to the hose?
The part that goes inside is a "hose barb coupling/splicer". The metal clamps on the outside are standard "hose clamps".
My connecting ‘gadget’. The thing you attached to the pipe doesn’t fit Into the pipe from the dishwasher? Any thoughts. Are they standard sizes or variable
The pipes are usually a standard size, the connector can be hard to squeeze in sometimes, if it looks like it might fit then maybe try lubricating it with something.
Hi,
Water stays in the pipe in these longer solutions. Any tips on how to make it flowing out?
It will flow out next time you use it
@@johnmcvideo Yes but the problem it's stinky, it's connected to the sink drain.
You want to put a u bend on somewhere as the water in the u bend should help to stop the smell
@@TheBlokeCave Thanks a lot
@@TheBlokeCave how many time bend when you have total 12 ft pipe that is 6ft connected with another 6ft to kitchen sink
Mine leaks ?
Hello mate how the hell did you get that connector on is that a method to doing it I can’t get it no where near thanks
It was quite a tight fit but twisting and pushing at the same time seemed to get the job done for me.
This just doss not work at all for dishwasher outlets, particularly the Bosch countertop dishwasher I was trying to connect up.
I've heard putting the end in boiling water can help
But for me, the hose just does NOT go on the 17mm connector as shown in the video, boiling water, twisting, or none of that: it just won't. You have to buy a new hose.
I want my washing machine at the other side of my kitchen maybe 4m away from sink is it possible
yes it is definitely possible. You will just need to make sure you can get the water supply and drainage over to it.
You will want to use some PVC pipe, mounted to the wall, with a consistent drop for the drain. If you use a hose just left on the floor over that distance you will probably get problems with stagnant water and therefore nasty smells.

I have just started selling these on my own store and changed the link above!
I just done this today on a new washing machine, it's not holding the water, spirts out every time the washer drains.
I've tightened the jubilee clips as much as possible.
Any advice?
Add a longer hose at the pump connection, avoid splicing. ua-cam.com/video/LUJfVK6cvAQ/v-deo.html
This is solid advice from @jeffwieser6514
Ignore this video, do it properly, or pay a tradesman to do it properly.
But totle says washing machine
For people from India, they can refer below video for extending drain hose.

But let me say all of that didn't come in my bag
How to stab your hand with a screwdriver 🙄
As a ground floor flat owner, I would feel extremely uncomfortable if my neighbours above were connecting up waste hoses in this way. Surely a single pipe linking the pump to the drain should be highlighted here as the best solution? This looks like a temporary solution at best. Poor safety practice, too. No-one should be putting that much force on a screwdriver pointing in the direction of a bare hand.
A brand new hose is always the best solution. Having two potential leak points is always better than having 4. But I work in maintenance and honestly connection points like these are never the issue.
The hose itself is just as likely to develop a hole randomly as it is likely that it would leak out of these connections. (Literally the issue I'm dealing with now)
and to replace the entire hose means completely uninstalling and reinstalling the entire dishwasher basically
I work in a big apartment complex, and the last 6 or 7 years, have had zero leak from connections like to these, they've all been from the supply side water lines or from the pump itself.
You should be worried about the supply side water line as that can run continuously until the end of time lol while the drain line he's repairing can only pump out whats in the machine.
Being worried about someone using this above you is like worrying a plumber used plumbers tape (I've had tenants worry about this lol) it's a tool to do their job safely.
In regards to how he's using the tool, yes this is unsafe, I've stabbed myself a good 3-4 times before switching to a socket to tighten them (the flat heads are brutal/dangerous and require a lot of force to tighten properly)
I just got a new washing machine delivered today and there is no way to replace the short drain hose so I will have to do the same thing.
You worry too much
