new washing machine, unable to attach waste pipe

[Deleted member 99918]

got a new washing maching delivered this morning (old one taken away).
all was going well with the installation, until i went to connect up the water waste pipe.

the connector that is on the drain u-bend appears to be 23.5mm, but the waste pipe on the washing machine looks like 21mm.
there is absolutely no way that the pipe will fit the connector, and we've tried but all it's doing is starting to affect the pipe so we stopped.

looking around the usual screwfix/b&q etc they all seem to stock the exact same connector that we already have (23.5mm).

how are we supposed to connect up the waste pipe to the drain?

photos attached.

Wont the washing machine pipe fit the spigot in your first picture? if its tight, put the end in some hot water to make it softer, usually does the trick, but make sure you put the jubilee clip on before pushing it onto the spigot.

that's what i'm trying to attach it to, but the pipe is 21mm and the spigot (i assume you mean the plastic connector) is 23.5mm.

i've forced it and forced it but there is no way it is going to attach, it was starting to damage the internal pipe due to the force being applied.

You might have to go for an adapter

or fit a stand pipe.

or alter your trap if possible. Check the size before buying. I don't know what size theses are.

how would the adaptor work?
isn't that to join two flexible pipes together?

Picture 1, the fitting steps up in size, does the smaller (first) section go in the hose? If yes is it a loose fit and you are trying to get the hose on the larger section?

The adapter you have looks too large. One of these might help

unless there is way other than it being a push fit, then what other method is there?

that was the one that was in place for the old washing machine.
so i'm guessing the old washing machine must have had a much large waste pipe.
