FAQs

What is the diameter range for the appliance outlet?

The SolaDirect Universal Drain Hose Extension Kit is designed for appliance outlets with a diameter of 19 mm to 22 mm.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the kit includes the drain hose, a hose bracket, and two secure clips, providing all necessary components for installation.

Can I use this hose with any brand of washing machine or dishwasher?

The hose is designed to be universal for common appliance outlet sizes (19-22mm). Compatibility generally extends across most brands, but it's always best to check your appliance's specific outlet diameter.

How long is the hose?

This specific model is 2 meters in length.

Is the hose flexible enough to prevent kinking?

Yes, the hose is made of a durable, flexible plastic designed to resist twisting and kinking, even when routed through tight spaces.

What should I do if the connection leaks?

Ensure the hose is fully seated on the appliance outlet and that the clips are securely fastened. Verify the outlet diameter matches the hose fitting size.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the appliance connection

Ensure the appliance outlet diameter is within the 19-22mm range. Check that the rubberised fitting is fully seated and that the secure clip(s) are tightly fastened. You may need to reposition the hose or use an additional clip if the appliance outlet is unusually shaped.

Water is not draining effectively

Verify that the hose is not kinked or bent sharply. Check that the hose bracket is positioned correctly and the end of the hose is not submerged too deeply in the standpipe, which can cause siphoning. Inspect the appliance's filter and pump for blockages.

Hose seems too short for the desired placement

This is a 2-meter hose. For longer runs, consider purchasing the SolaDirect Universal Drain Hose Extension Kit in a 4-meter length, or a compatible extension piece if available separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This hose is designed for appliances with an outlet diameter ranging from 19 mm to 22 mm. Please verify your appliance's drain outlet size before purchasing. It is compatible with most standard UK washing machines and dishwashers.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the power source.
  2. Disconnect the old drain hose, if applicable.
  3. Attach one of the secure clips to the appliance's drain outlet.
  4. Push the rubberised fitting of the new SolaDirect drain hose onto the outlet until it is snug.
  5. Secure the connection with the clip(s), ensuring a tight seal.
  6. Use the provided hose bracket to direct the hose into your standpipe or sink drain, ensuring it is positioned correctly to prevent siphoning.
  7. Plug the appliance back in and run a short test cycle to check for leaks.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
  • Ensure the connection points remain clean and free of debris for a secure fit.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict water flow or stress the hose material.
  • Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth as needed. Do not use harsh chemicals.
