No

No need to throw the toys out of the pram, we have tried to help you.
IT ISN`T MEANT TO GO INSIDE THE RIBBED PLASTIC PIPE just the first 30mm of rubber as shown in the video.

there are no toys in this pram, however saying read the manual or call a plumber is a pointless response to give consider the current conditions we are under.

not really as plumbers/gas engineers are allowed to work in emergency situations or where they deem it safe to do so
 
you can get a clip online or from hardware shop Screwfix b&q tool station cut the first bit of it should be quite a snug fit the jubilee clip is to keep it secret as the pump from the machine is quite powerful and if there is back pressure could blow off and reckon the cupboard

i will see if i can find a cable tie or similar to secure it for now.

I`ve seen them held on with two cables ties! :D
 
Is 21mm the internal or external diameter of your pipe?
I have in the past used a short section of 22mm copper tube and 2 jubilee clips to join two w/m hoses together and it was a tight fit but went on without needing to be heated up. The hose then attached to a standard spigot.
If the internal diameter is 21mm (ish) then it's probably a standard size hose and it's the spigot you have which is an unusual size.
Saying that though, your spigot looks like it may be McAlpine which is a very good brand, They are made for 3/4'' waste pipes(about 21mm) and also have the ability to take a larger waste pipe, but not a smaller one.

looks like it worked but no thank you
Yeah, thinking the guy was blinkered and wasn`t listening, then finally the penny dropped.
Really annoys me when we give time & help freely and not one thanks. Sometimes I wonder why we bother tbh.
