lucy Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I have a slight leak from my waste pipe connection under the sink. The previous homeowner installed the kitchen and the pipes are different to what I've seen before. There is a grey pipe which sticks up and I've simply pushed the waste pipe onto that, as there's no other way to do it. Should I just fit a jubilee clip around the waste pipe, or do the pipes need changing to something more standard?
Root Admin Whitegoodshelp Posted August 15, 2016 Root Admin Posted August 15, 2016 I normally use one or two plastic cable ties to fasten the drain hose on. I pull them tight using pliers and then cut off the excess cable. Before cable ties, I used to use good old-fashioned jubilee clips. You would need to make sure you had the right size to be able to fit them nicely. You might also consider using some plumbers tape to wrap round the plastic pipe first. Don't over tighten a jubilee clip onto a plastic pipe though. Need a repair or spare parts? Book a Repair | Spares4Appliances WARNING: Read this before attempting any diy repairs.
