new washing machine, unable to attach waste pipe

[Stigster]

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.

It took me a while to figure out they were trying to shove the spigot all the way past the rubber end and into the actual pipe and they were annoyed it wouldn't fit in there. There was nothing wrong with any of the parts, they just needed a jubilee clip! (or improvised securing method.)

What a frustrating read that was!

Agree, you couldn't make it up, or could you?
Simular thread going on re a tap but I'm not getting involved in that one.

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.

I just had this problem. I tried hot water and that didn't help. I then used a pipe wrench to flatten the ribs on the inside off the flexible pipe for a distance of about 3/4" and it fitted easily. I used a jubilee clip of course

Congats, you have weakened the hose with your bodge.
