FAQs
What is the diameter of the hose outlet?
The 4Trade Non Kink Outlet Hose has a 17mm outlet diameter.
Can this hose be used with any washing machine or dishwasher?
This hose features a universal fitting designed for most standard appliances. However, it's essential to confirm that your appliance's outlet matches the 17mm diameter and connection type.
What does 'non-kink' mean for this hose?
A 'non-kink' hose is designed with materials and a structure that resist bending, twisting, or collapsing. This ensures a consistent and unobstructed flow of water during the appliance's drain cycle.
How do I ensure the hose stays in the drain?
The hose comes with a support rest that helps to secure the end of the hose within the drain opening, preventing it from dislodging during operation.
What is the maximum length of this hose?
This specific model of the 4Trade Non Kink Outlet Hose is 2.5 meters long.
How should I clean the hose?
Periodically flush the hose with water. If a blockage or odor occurs, you can carefully run a cleaning solution through it or manually clear any visible obstructions. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the interior.
Can I extend the hose if needed?
While this hose is 2.5 meters, extending it might affect drainage performance and potentially void warranties. It's generally recommended to use the hose at its provided length or consider a longer dedicated hose if more reach is required.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the appliance connection.
Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto the appliance outlet and secured tightly. Check for any debris on the connection points. If the leak persists, the fitting on the appliance or hose may be damaged, or an adapter might be needed.
Water is not draining, or draining slowly.
Verify that the hose is not kinked or blocked internally. Check the drain point for obstructions. Ensure the hose end is not submerged too deeply in the drain, which can create a siphon effect.
Hose keeps slipping out of the drain.
Utilize the provided hose support rest to secure the end of the hose firmly within the drain. Ensure the drain opening is not excessively large.
Unusual noise during draining.
This could indicate a partial blockage or an air leak. Check the hose for any obstructions and ensure all connections are airtight.
