Jubilee clip failure

[Pocster]

I (expletive deleted)ing hate these !

 

Had one fail ages ago outside on rainwater pump so no big drama .

 

Sunday ; chilled ; sipping wine then woooosh ! Sound of water pissing everywhere !

Washer outlet had come free from its shitty jubilee clip !

If I hadn’t been there washer would have carried on and flooded the floor more .

Apart from checking the clips every day ! - surely there must be a better fixing.

This washer in our temp kitchen has been fine for 2 yrs . That happening in the new kitchen wouldn’t do the kitchen units any good .

There must be a better - 100% solid as a dogs dangles fitting .

 

I (expletive deleted)ing hate jubilee clips ! - accident waiting to happen ; and it did !

I know i sound like an old person (which I am) but they are not as good as they used to be!!, has the patent run out, copies that are inferior? Some are not the same quality as was.

I never liked them ! . But what can I use instead ? . That 90 degree bend is ‘rubbery’ so it can be fitted with a clip - (expletive deleted)ing shite

@Pocster in what way did it fail?, just come off or break?

[Russell griffiths]

Fitting a smooth outer pipe into that rubber and relying on a jubilant cup is asking for trouble 

you need a pipe with a lip on it so it’s trapped behind the jubilee clip. 

Sort of how the neck on a car radiator is. 

 

I would sort out your 100% finished idea and then visit a pump and hose specialist and get some better fittings made up. 

 

Just out of interest any fitting on the pressure side of the system, should they be pressure pipe rather than just 40mm waste and flexible fittings. 

The sort used on swimming pool and jacuzzi setups not just a dribble from a kitchen sink.

So it didnt fail (break),as said above there needs to be ribs or something for the rubber pipe to grip on.

Yep . The fitting used were the ones supplied with the pump ; so naturally I used them . A similar fitting with a lip would indeed be better

All this talk of lips, screwing, rubber, coming off.

 

I need a lie down.

"Bit like a car radiator" You can make that on the 40mm exit pipe. Use a straight solweld pipe connector. Cut a 3mm ring, and glue it on the end.

I agree, Jubilee (a brand name btw) clips are very good, but I bet that is just a bog standard hose clip.

F##k me what did your last slave die of. 

There is a pukka hose place near me, when you drop of my new tile cutter you can have a look. 😉

Can't you redo the whole lot in solvent weld?

Do you know the difference between a Jubilee Clip and a pregnant woman?

 

You can usually unscrew a Jubilee Clip.
