Hey all
We got a new Bosch washing machine and a tumble dryer
You can connect a drain hose to the dryer so you dont have to empty the condensation collector every few dry cycles
But we only got one spigot for the washer
I was thinking if its possible to get a Y adapater and connect both the washer and the dry drain hose to that. Then connect the Y adapter to the spigot?
The dryer drain hose seems like a smaller one vs the regular size washing machine one
see the photos of the drain hoses
Hi all,
Just wanted to add a different solution to this problem that was suggested to me by Rob in the plumbing section of Bunnings at Kotara. I used a Deks Waste Outlet Cap and drilled a hole through the rubber top. I used a 9mm drill bit, but the hole ended up much smaller. This was perfect as it meant the waste hose fits very securely without leaks. Once I'd pushed the hose through the hole, I pushed the cap onto the spigot and tightened the clamp to hold it in place as you can see in the photo. What you'll also notice in the photo is that the waste hose is actually a piece of Kinetic food grade multipurpose reinforced pressure hose, 6mm. I used this as my dryer was too far away from the trap and this hose push fit perfectly in the end of the waste hose on the dryer.
Hope this helps someone with a similar problem and thanks again to Rob at Bunnings for his expert knowledge!
Cheers,
Ben
Hello @beninnewy
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in regards to the Bosch wastewater outlet hose. That is truly top-notch creativity and using the Kinetic food grade hose was truly inspired. The only thing I would add to the fitting is a bead of Selleys 290ml Clear Storm Waterproof Gutter And Roof Sealant where the hose and cap meet.
Were keen to hear more about all your projects and plans around the house and garden. Please feel free to reach out whenever you need assistance or would like to share a project with the community.
