Washing machine waste hose

    Hi guys

    I replacing a washing machine. The original hose had to be cut from old washing machine as its jammed into the waste pipe. Is there a way to connect 2 hoses

    The waste pipe is under sink , hard to access and thugging on hose does no good. I may have to cut waste with a hack saw. There's a rubber waste pipe from a under counter water heater too going into waste pipe. I think The items are tightly jammed together and wont budge in waste pipe. Any ideas?

    Thanks
    Alan

    Just un-jam it from the waste pipe. try pouring some boiling water down the inside and outside of the gray pipe and see if you can free it off.

    Failing that cut off the piece of gray waste pipe coming out of the vertical white/black pipe, then tape up a hack saw blade and cut the remaining bit of gray pipe from inside the white/black waste pipe.

    Thanks DublinDilbert

    so if i understand correctly your saying cut the hose bit by bit as i can yank it out? but its stuck not at the top of the black plastic waste pipe but somewhere down the pipe that is unreachable

    join one to the other with a piece of 3/4 copper, a little silicone and a jubilee clip
