Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the exact diameter of the appliance connection end?

The hose is designed to fit appliance outlets ranging from 19 mm to 22 mm in diameter.

Do I need any special tools to install this hose?

No, the kit includes everything needed for installation: the hose, bracket, and clips. No additional tools are typically required.

Can this hose be used for hot water discharge?

The hose is made of durable plastic suitable for standard appliance drainage, but specific temperature ratings for continuous hot water discharge are not provided. Use with caution for high-temperature cycles.

How long is the drain hose?

This specific model is 3 meters in length.

Is this hose suitable for outdoor use?

The hose is designed for indoor appliance use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions may degrade the material over time.

What if my appliance outlet is slightly larger or smaller than 19-22 mm?

For a secure, leak-free connection, it is recommended that your appliance's outlet diameter falls within the specified 19 mm to 22 mm range. Using adapters may be necessary for other sizes, but are not included.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Ensure the hose is fully seated on the appliance outlet and use the provided secure clips to fasten it tightly. A proper fit within the 19-22mm range is crucial.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaks at the appliance connection.

Ensure the hose is fully inserted into the 19-22mm outlet and the secure clip is tightened firmly. Check if the outlet diameter is within the specified range.

Water is not draining from the appliance.

Check for kinks in the hose. Inspect the appliance's filter and pump for blockages. Ensure the hose is not inserted too far into the standpipe, which can create a siphoning effect.

Hose feels stiff or brittle.

While designed for durability, extreme temperatures can affect flexibility. Ensure the hose is installed in a normal operating environment and not exposed to excessive heat or cold.

Hose is too short.

Consider purchasing an additional compatible extension hose if available, or repositioning the appliance closer to the drain outlet. This kit is 3 meters long.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the appliance is unplugged and the water supply is turned off.
  2. Remove the old drain hose from the appliance's outlet.
  3. Attach the new SolaDirect drain hose to the appliance outlet. The integrated fitting is designed for a snug fit.
  4. Use one of the included secure clips to firmly fasten the hose to the outlet, ensuring a leak-proof seal.
  5. Connect the other end of the hose to your appliance's drain connection point (e.g., standpipe, sink trap, or under-sink fitting). Use the hose bracket to secure the end in place if needed.
  6. Ensure the hose is not kinked or excessively stretched.
  7. Plug the appliance back in and run a short cycle to check for leaks.

Compatibility:

This hose is designed for appliances with an outlet diameter between 19 mm and 22 mm. It is compatible with most common UK washing machines and dishwashers. Always measure your appliance's outlet diameter before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Care:

  • Periodically check the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
  • Keep the hose free from blockages by running a cleaning cycle on your appliance occasionally or checking the filter.
  • Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic.
