Do I need a new fitting?

[Sarah Curtis]

Hi,

I bought and fitted a new dishwasher the other day, but after fitting the inlet water pipe and waste pipe I noticed the fixing that joins the waste pipe to the rest of the pipes (the multiconnector I think it’s called) seems to be leaking water out of the side as there’s a very small gap when I’ve screwed it back on.

Image attached.

Do i need a new fixing or have I not reattached it correctly?

Thanks

Yes. The nut looks like it has a crack in it?

I think that’s a mark on the photo.

I also just screwed it on tight and end of the pipe comes out anyway so it’s not actually doing anything.

Have you got the conical black rubber washer on it?

Do I have all the right parts here? Sorry I’m asking really obvious questions.

No it doesn’t look like it.

That is what you need to stop it leaking!

Ok, makes sense to tighten it up! I take it this would sit around the piping where it connects up?

Is there any chance you can send me a link to an example of what I need to buy so I get the right thing?

It could be wedged inside the fitting, where you screwing the nut on. Remove it. No place it on the pipe.
It goes: nut, red ring , black conical washer( flat side nearest the red ring, sloping side into the fitting

Great thank you, I’ll check and give it a go.

Found it underneath the kitchen unit! ‍♀️
Thank you very much - that’s solved it.

Sarah , one last thing, get a jubilee clip on the end of the grey hose where it joins the white fitting
