    When you're doing this, don't jab yourself with the screwdriver 3 times, though. It looks like it might hurt.
    Thanks for the video.
    God bless you all!

    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.

      The part that goes inside is a "hose barb coupling/splicer". The metal clamps on the outside are standard "hose clamps".

      I did something similar with a Stanley knife many, many years ago and it cut clean through a pair of Levi jeans (which are quite a thick material), I paused waiting for the blood to run down my thigh... I took the jeans off (now destroyed) and there was not so much as a scratch on my leg. You have to be so thoughtful when using any tool.

      in the UK they are called jubilee clips, in the USAI think they might be called worm drive hose clips or maybe worm clamps.

      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.

      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.

    • @TheBlokeCave
      @TheBlokeCave  3 роки тому

      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.

    How to stab your hand with a screwdriver 🙄

  • @thomasshaw3760
    @thomasshaw3760 Рік тому +3

    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.

    • @pdids8947
      @pdids8947 Рік тому +1

      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)
