Product Information

Full details

This 4-meter SolaDirect Universal Drain Hose Extension Kit is for homeowners and landlords needing to extend the reach of their washing machine, dishwasher, or other appliance's drain hose. Its key benefit is a hassle-free, secure installation for common UK appliance outlets (19mm-22mm) without extra tools. A potential caveat is ensuring your appliance's outlet diameter falls within the specified range for a snug fit. The kit includes a durable, flexible hose, a bracket, and secure clips for a leak-free connection, designed to resist common issues like twisting and cracking.

FAQs

What is the maximum outlet diameter this hose can connect to?

This hose is designed for appliance outlets ranging from 19 mm to 22 mm in diameter.

Do I need any special tools to install this extension hose?

No, the kit includes everything needed, including secure clips, so no additional tools are required for installation.

What is the length of the drain hose in this kit?

The drain hose in this specific kit is 4 meters long.

Can I cut the hose to a shorter length if needed?

While the hose is flexible, cutting it is not recommended as it may compromise the integrity of the material and fittings. The kit is designed to be used at its full length.

Will this hose fit my specific brand of washing machine/dishwasher?

It is designed to fit most common UK models with outlet diameters between 19 mm and 22 mm. Always check your appliance's outlet size before purchasing.

How do I prevent the hose from kinking?

The corrugated design of the hose is resistant to kinking. Ensure there are no sharp bends or excessive pressure points along its run.

What is included in the complete kit?

The complete kit includes one 4-meter drain hose, one hose bracket, and two secure clips.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaks at the appliance connection

Ensure the rubberised fitting is fully seated on the appliance outlet. Try a different secure clip or ensure the existing clip is tightened sufficiently. Verify the appliance outlet diameter is within the 19-22 mm range.

Hose leaks at the drain connection

Make sure the hose is properly secured to the standpipe or drain using the bracket and clip. Ensure the drain opening is clear and the hose is inserted correctly.

Slow or no water drainage

Check the entire length of the hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the hose is not laid flat or compressed. Clean any debris from the drain connection point.

Hose appears to be the wrong size for the outlet

Confirm your appliance's outlet diameter is between 19 mm and 22 mm. If it is significantly smaller or larger, this hose may not provide a secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides ample length for appliance placement flexibility.

  • Durable material resists damage and kinks.
  • Secure fittings minimize the risk of leaks.
  • Universal compatibility with common appliance outlet sizes.

Cons

  • May not fit very old or non-standard appliance outlet sizes.
  • The 4-meter length might be excessive for some installations, leading to excess hose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the power source.
  2. Disconnect the original drain hose from the appliance outlet.
  3. Attach the new SolaDirect hose to the appliance outlet, ensuring the rubberised fitting creates a snug seal. Use one of the included secure clips to fasten it tightly.
  4. Connect the other end of the hose to your sink drain or standpipe, using the hose bracket if necessary to secure its position.
  5. Use the second secure clip to ensure the connection at the drain is also firm.

Compatibility:

This hose is designed to fit appliance outlets with a diameter between 19 mm and 22 mm. It is compatible with most standard washing machines and dishwashers found in the UK market.

Care:

Periodically check the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or blockages. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. Ensure connections remain secure to prevent leaks. If the hose becomes damaged, replace it immediately.
