Hi all,

 

I've just moved into a new house and trying to connect washing machine up.

 

Previously, there was just a drain hole i could insert the drain pipe into, but this one is different.

 

As per pic below, when i clamp ont he drain pipe, it always leaks:

 

 

What i think i need is the rubber end bit to put on end of pipe, then put the clamp on, but neithe rbunnings or mitre 10 sell it.

 

Any ideas? I had a plumber around the other day and he just suggested getting the rubber bit...

 

Cheers,

They do sell complete hoses $20 - $25. Unless you seal the corrugations the cut hose will leak.

Normally the end of the rubber hose on the right will have 30mm or so that is without corrogations that the hose clamp goes around to tighten up on.

This is what we have, looks like what your plumber has described.

Looks like a dishwasher attachment not washing machine.
I'd be concerned its too small a hole for a washing machine to empty through.
