This washer drain hose channels used water from the pump to your home drain. A sound, properly routed hose helps prevent leaks and backups during the drain cycle for reliable performance and a cleaner laundry area.

• Routes wastewater from the drain pump to the standpipe or laundry tub
• Replaces hoses that are cracked, brittle, split, kinked, or leaking
• Common fix for leaks at the back of the washer or slow/failed draining
• Restores a secure, watertight path when correctly clamped and routed

• Disconnect power and turn off water; expect some residual water—use towels or a pan
• Wear gloves; edges and clamps can be sharp
• Transfer and reuse existing clamps/brackets if your model uses them; ensure snug connections at both ends
• Route to the manufacturer-recommended height and secure to the standpipe; avoid kinks and test drain
