Product Information
Full details
The B&Q 2.5m Washing Machine Outlet Hose is an essential utility component designed for homeowners and renters who need a reliable drainage solution for washing machines or dishwashers. Its primary benefit lies in its flexible 2.5-meter length and universal compatibility with standard connections, providing a secure, leak-proof path for wastewater. While highly versatile, users should ensure their machine's drain pump has sufficient pressure to push water through the full 2.5m length to prevent potential backflow.

FAQs
Does this hose come with clamps?
This package includes the hose; we recommend reusing your existing clamps or purchasing new stainless steel jubilee clips for a secure fit.
Can I use this for both hot and cold water drainage?
Yes, this hose is designed to handle the warm wastewater temperatures produced by standard washing machine cycles.
Will this fit all washing machines?
It is compatible with most standard machines featuring a 2.7cm outlet port, which covers the vast majority of modern household appliances.
Is it safe to leave the hose on the floor?
No, you should always secure the outlet hose at the recommended height (typically 60-90cm) to prevent siphoning.
How often should I replace this hose?
There is no set schedule, but you should inspect it annually for cracks, hardening, or signs of wear.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the connection point
Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto the drainage port and that the retaining clamp is tightened securely.
The appliance is showing a drainage error code
Check the hose for any kinks or blockages; ensure the hose is not submerged too deeply into the standpipe.
The hose is too long for the current space
While you can coil the excess hose, ensure there is no 'u-bend' that could trap debris and impede water flow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Compatible with both washing machines and dishwashers
- Generous 2.5m length provides installation flexibility
- Lightweight and easy to manipulate during setup
- Cost-effective solution for replacing damaged or short pipes
Cons
- Requires proper securing to prevent movement under water pressure
- May require extra clamps if the existing connection port is worn

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure the appliance is powered off and the water supply is isolated. Simply slide the hose end onto the drainage port of your machine and secure it with a robust jubilee clip or tension clamp. When routing the hose, avoid sharp bends that could restrict water flow. To care for your hose, inspect it every six months for any signs of brittleness or calcium buildup. If the hose becomes clogged, a simple flush with a mixture of hot water and white vinegar can help clear residue without damaging the integrity of the material.
