EXT1 Generic Drain Hose Extension 1m Universal Washing Machine and Dishwasher Part

EXT1 is a generic 1m drain hose extension for when the existing drain hose on a washing machine or dishwasher won't quite reach the sink, trough or standpipe. It is a simple universal style part that suits many brands. Before ordering, check the end size of your current hose and how you plan to join the two, so the connection is secure and won't leak.

When a 1m drain hose extension helps

Moving a washer or dishwasher to a new spot often leaves the drain hose just short of the outlet. Stretching a hose tight or wedging the machine closer is asking for trouble, as a hose that pulls out of the standpipe mid pump-out can flood the floor in seconds. An extra metre gives you room to route the hose neatly with gentle curves. Keep the total run as short as practical, since a long or kinked drain hose makes the pump work harder and can leave water sitting in the machine.

Joining the extension

Switch the appliance off at the wall and have a bucket and towel handy for water left in the old hose. Connect the extension, using a hose joiner and clamps if your setup needs them, and check the joint is tight. Secure the outlet end so it can't jump out of the trough or standpipe, keep the hose free of kinks and watch the joint for drips during the first pump-out.
