Washing machine extension kit

Posted by Louise Smith, on
Grey flexi waste pipe doesnt reach to the attachment under the sink (spigot??) Old washing machines did reach but new one starts from a different point and is just cm short. Can I just buy a waste pipe extension kit? Is it difficult to attach? Stephen Griffin responded to me yesterday but I didnt know how to respond on the same post.... Many thanks

Hi Louise yes all you need is a waste pipe extension and the male connector to join the 2 lengths together, you will also need a couple of jubilee clips to secure the joint. They sell it all at Screwfix. Very straight forward to fit. Hope this helps.Ed

Hi Louise I would suggest to post your job description on main website under plumbing repair and maintenance then 3 companies will contact you to discuss details about a job Regards Rafal

Hi Louise It is very straight forward to do yourself. Simply pop down to Screwfix and pick up a 1.5 metres hose or 2.5 metres hose. You will then need a male connector to adjoin the new hose and your existing hose. Best to attach the two and use a jubilee clip on either side to make it a solid leak free connection. I would use another jubilee clip on the hose than connects to your waste trap. Best of luck. Sam eps

Hi Louise , if you go to a plumbers merchants they will supply you the coupler , hose ect you require , get 3 jubilee clips also so it definitely doesn't leak , all this should only cost you about a tenner, regards Andy
