FAQs
What is the maximum temperature the hose can withstand?
The hose is designed to withstand temperatures up to 93°C, making it suitable for hot water cycles in dishwashers and washing machines.
Will this hose fit my specific brand of washing machine?
This is a universal hose designed to fit most standard washing machines and dishwashers. It's recommended to check the diameter of your appliance's original drain outlet for best results.
Do I need any special tools to install this hose?
Typically, no special tools are required. A screwdriver might be helpful if you need to loosen or tighten clamps, but often the rubber ends push-fit securely.
How long is the hose?
The hose extension is 3 meters in length.
Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?
While it is possible to cut the hose, it is generally not recommended as it might affect the integrity of the rubber end connection. It's best to use the full length or choose a different product if a shorter length is strictly required.
What material is the hose made from?
The hose is made from high-quality, anti-aging PVC for durability and longevity.
Are hose clamps included with the extension kit?
Hose clamps are not included with this kit and may need to be purchased separately if required for a secure connection.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection point.
Ensure the rubber ends are fully and securely seated on both the appliance outlet and the drain pipe. If the connection feels loose, consider using a hose clamp for a tighter fit.
Water is not draining properly (slow or blocked).
Check the entire length of the hose for kinks or sharp bends. Ensure there are no obstructions within the hose itself or at the connection points. Clean any debris from the drain outlet.
Hose appears to be deteriorating or cracking.
This may indicate the hose is old or has been exposed to excessive heat or chemicals. Inspect for damage and replace the hose if necessary.
