Drain Hose Extension Kit 3.2 Ft | Washing machine drain hose | dishwasher drain hose extension

You get one 3.2 ft (1 m) corrugated drain hose, one stepped extension adapter, two stainless steel hose clamps and one U-bend hose holder. That is everything needed to join the new hose to an existing appliance hose and secure the outlet end. No tools are included.

The hose measures 3.2 ft, which is 1 m. That is the usable hose length, before you account for the adapter and the amount of hose that overlaps the fitting. Plan on losing an inch or two at each joint.

The maker lists the hose material as polypropylene, usually shortened to PP. It is a flexible plastic with a corrugated profile and a nominal wall thickness of 3 mm. The specific colour and finish are not stated by the maker.

The outside diameter is 3/4 in, which is 20 mm. The extension adapter is sized to suit water pipes with a 20 mm inner diameter. Measure your existing hose before ordering so you know which adapter step you will cut to.

Yes, extending a washer outlet is the main use. You join the new hose to the end of the factory hose using the adapter, clamp both joints, then hook the outlet over your standpipe or laundry tub with the U-bend holder. It is one of the simpler laundry jobs you can do yourself.

It will, provided your dishwasher hose falls within the adapter range. Cut the stepped adapter at the size that matches, push both hose ends on and clamp them. Check the joint for drips during the first full cycle.

The maker says the kit suits most washing machines, dishwashers and dryers, so a condenser dryer with a water drain line is within scope. It is not a vent duct and should not be used for hot dryer exhaust air. Check what your dryer outlet actually carries before fitting anything.

The stepped adapter gives inner diameters of 3/4 in, 7/8 in, 1-1/4 in and 1-1/2 in. You cut the adapter back at the step that matches your hose, leaving a barbed spigot the right size. Having four options means one kit covers a wide range of appliances.

Mark the step you need, then cut straight across with a sharp utility knife or a fine-tooth saw. A clean square cut matters more than speed, because a ragged edge can let water track along the joint. Trim any burr off the rim before you push the hose on.

The hose and adapter push together by hand with no tools. You will want a screwdriver or small nut driver to tighten the two hose clamps, and a knife to cut the adapter if your hose is not 3/4 in. Nothing specialist is required.

The maker states the hose passes hot water up to 203°F. A standard hot wash or a dishwasher discharge sits well below that figure. Even so, give the joints a look after the first few hot cycles, because plastic and clamps settle slightly as they warm and cool.

The corrugated profile and the 3 mm nominal wall are there to resist kinking. Compress a section with your hand and it springs back. You can still fold it too sharply if you force a tight corner, so route it in gentle curves rather than hard right angles.

It clips on near the outlet and holds the hose in a fixed hook shape. That lets you hang the end over the edge of a standpipe, laundry tub or utility sink at a set height. It stops the hose creeping out of position while the machine vibrates through a spin.

The two stainless steel clamps adjust from 18 to 38 mm, which comfortably covers the 20 mm hose plus the adapter underneath. Tighten them firm but not crushing. If plastic starts to deform under the band, you have gone too far.

Yes. Cut across a valley between two ribs with a sharp knife so the end sits square. A straight cut gives the barbed adapter a clean surface to grip, which is a large part of getting a dry joint on any flexible drain hose.

You can, using a second adapter and clamps at the extra joint. Keep in mind that every joint adds a small restriction and one more spot to check for leaks. Most appliance makers also set a maximum total drain hose length, so look at your appliance manual before going much past a couple of metres.

That depends on your appliance pump, not on the hose. Your machine's manual will state a maximum discharge height, and going above it means the pump struggles and water drains back. The hose and the U-bend holder let you set the height, but the number has to come from the appliance.

With four adapter sizes between 3/4 in and 1-1/2 in it covers a wide range of common appliance hoses. Measure the inner diameter of your existing hose end and compare it to those four figures. If your hose falls outside that range, this kit is not the right match.

A properly made joint should stay dry. The barbs on the adapter grip the hose wall, and the clamps add the clamping force that holds it. Push the hose fully onto the barb, centre the clamp over the barbed section, and tighten evenly for the best result from any drain hose adapter.

Run a short cycle and stand there with a dry paper towel. Dab around each joint after the pump has run for a minute. Any moisture shows up immediately on dry paper, long before it would pool on the floor.

Disconnect it and flush clean water through from the appliance end so detergent and lint wash out. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and a little dish soap. Let it dry before storing so nothing goes musty inside.

It is designed to stay in place as part of your appliance drain run. Check the clamps once or twice a year and retighten if they have relaxed. Replace the hose if you see splits, chalky brittle patches or a section that no longer springs back.

New plastic can carry a faint manufacturing odour for the first day or two. Flushing water through the hose and leaving it to air clears it quickly. The smell does not affect how the hose performs.

The packed weight is 0.14 kg and the box measures roughly 20 cm by 19 cm. It is light enough to tuck in a drawer or toolbox as a spare. The hose itself is barely noticeable in the hand.

No. This kit extends a flexible appliance drain hose to an existing drain point. Cutting, moving or connecting fixed pipework should be done by a licensed plumber, and the same goes for adding a new standpipe or trap.

Trim the damaged section back to clean hose before fitting the adapter, as long as you can spare the length. A split or stretched hose end will not seal on a barb no matter how hard you tighten the clamp. If too little hose remains, replace the original hose entirely.

Yes. Hook the outlet over the tub rim using the U-bend holder so the end sits securely above the water line. Make sure it cannot slip down into standing water, since that can cause dirty water to siphon back toward the machine.
