It connects to devices via a 3/4 inch thread and to the tap/drain with a self-locking 3/4 inch union nut with a safety valve.

Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection points.
Ensure all fittings are securely tightened. Reapply PTFE tape to the threads and re-tighten. Check that gaskets are correctly seated.
Water is not draining effectively.
Verify that the hose is not kinked or blocked. Ensure the hose end is not submerged too deeply in the drain or standpipe, which can cause siphoning. Check the appliance's internal drain filter for blockages.
Hose appears stiff or brittle.
This may indicate exposure to excessive heat or age. Inspect the hose for cracks and replace if any damage is found. Ensure it is not used with water exceeding 93°C.
Hose does not fit appliance outlet.
Confirm your appliance uses a standard 3/4 inch threaded drain outlet. This hose is designed for universal fit, but some specific appliance models may have unique connectors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.

Care:
