HC048 Generic Dishwasher Drain Hose 2.5m with One 90 Degree Elbow End, Universal Dishwasher Outlet Hose

HC048 is a generic 2.5m drain hose for dishwashers, with a 90 degree elbow fitted to one end. The elbow helps the hose turn tightly without kinking, which is useful where space behind the dishwasher or under the sink is limited. It suits a wide range of dishwashers as a universal replacement, as long as the end sizes match your pump outlet and sink connection.

Dishwasher leaking underneath or not draining

The drain hose carries dirty water from the dishwasher's pump out to the sink waste or standpipe. Over time hoses split, perish where they rub on cabinetry, or get crushed and kinked when the dishwasher is pushed back into place. A split hose leaks into the cabinet or under the floor, while a kinked or partly blocked one leaves water sitting in the bottom of the tub, causes a drain fault code or leaves a sour smell. A fresh hose with a proper elbow is often the simplest fix.

Fitting a new drain hose

Switch the dishwasher off at the wall and turn off the water tap before pulling it out. Have a bucket and towel ready, as the old hose will hold dirty water. Check the end sizes against your pump outlet and sink spigot, fit the new hose with good clamps, and run it with a high loop under the bench to stop waste water siphoning back. Run a short cycle and check every joint for drips.

Questions about this part

Will this hose fit my dishwasher?

Most dishwashers use similar drain hose connections, but sizes do vary. Measure the outlet on your pump and your sink spigot, or compare with your old hose, before ordering HC048.
