HC046 Generic Dishwasher Drain Hose 1.5m with 90 Degree Elbow End Universal Dishwasher Outlet Hose Part

Need a shorter replacement drain hose? HC046 is a generic 1.5m dishwasher outlet hose with a 90 degree elbow on one end. The elbow lets the hose make a tight turn without kinking, which helps where the dishwasher sits close to the sink cabinet. It's a universal part, so compare the end connections and diameter with your old hose before ordering.

Water left in the dishwasher? A damaged drain hose could be why

Dirty water leaves the dishwasher through the drain hose each time the pump runs. Because the hose sits out of sight behind the machine, damage often goes unnoticed until there's a problem. Splits cause leaks under the cabinet, while kinks and crushed sections slow drainage and can leave water in the bottom of the tub. A hose that has hardened and cracked near the pump connection is another common failure. A 90 degree elbow end can take the strain out of the tight bend that causes many of these kinks.

• One 90 degree elbow end

Fitting a drain hose with an elbow end

Isolate the dishwasher at the power point and shut the water tap. Pull the machine out gently so you don't stretch the hoses. Undo the clamp at the pump outlet and catch the water that runs out. Fit the new hose, clamp it securely, then route it so the elbow takes the tightest bend. Fix the outlet end up high at the sink waste or standpipe and test for leaks.

Questions about this part

Is 1.5m long enough for my kitchen?

Measure the path from the back of the dishwasher to the sink waste or standpipe, allowing extra for a high loop. If you need more than 1.5m, the 2.5m hose HC047 may suit better.
