Help needed - Washing machine drainage pipe doesn't fit/too big

[nudragon]

Hello,

I recently moved flat and I'm trying to set up the washing machine.

The drainage pipe attached to the machine is too large for the part underneath the sink where its meant to go.


Could someone please tell me what needs to be done in this situation? Must a part of the fitting under the sink be sawn off? I am a newbie with this stuff.

Thank you.

Generally, you cut the spout on the trap down so it gets larger the shorter you cut it if that makes sense.
then buy a jubilee clip to tighten down the washing machine hose onto the spout

This forum won't let me include photos.


But basically the circumference of tye drainage pipe is too large.

Even if I were to cut the narrowest part of the white plastic, it still looks like the drainage pipe would be too wide.

At the other flat, the drainage pipe fit exactly and was a tight fit. Why is too big at this property?

The pipe from the washing is it hard ribbed plastic with a short rubber bit on the end? Could the rubber bit be missing? Have an idea that this has come up before where you have to buy the rubber bit seperate, if I`m correct then look on fleabay.

nudragon sent photo`s via PM, the rubber tip is on the plastic pipe which is indeed to large for the 1st section of the tapered spigot, have advised to cut away the spigot and try on the lower larger section with jubillee clip. Only concern is the rubber tip looks shorter than I`ve seen before.
