Pocster Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 90 degree bend is ‘rubbery’ so it can be fitted with a clip - (expletive deleted)ing shite Edited September 17, 2023 by Pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 @Pocster in what way did it fail?, just come off or break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jimbo Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 "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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Jubilee (a brand name btw) clips are very good, but I bet that is just a bog standard hose clip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
