Washing machine outlet hose smaller than normal size

[WaterTight]

European size or something?
Anyway previous plumber had managed to squeeze 5mm onto the trap spigot and jubilee clipped it's brains out. Hung on for a month and then popped off.
Not seen this before so don't know if what I did would be considered a temp or permanent fix. I left her to do "a lot" of washing yesterday and not heard back so that's at least promising.
I used the end of this smaller than normal outlet hose as a spigot and pushed it into a normal hose end and secured that with a jubilee clip. Then just ran standard hose to original spigot on trap. Felt tight as anything and looked a good seal, not distorted. Even if it worked I can't imagine that's the official method. Any thoughts?

Not come across that before. I might have replaced the whole hose from the washing machine pump, would have had to take old one off though and take to washing machine spares shop (luckily I have one about a mile from where I live)
But if it works then it doesn't need fixing 😉

Yeah I thought of that too. 15mm pipe was too small in the hose, 22mm wouldn't squeeze in. Must be foreign size. Probably are adaptors you can get somewhere.

Good to know! She was off on holiday and going to wash everything she owned that evening and I've not heard back. Still seems a bodge though.
