Stopping washing machine hose from falling out of pipe?

dekaspace

I have a normal hose type that goes into a section of regular pipe so nothing sealing it at top which in itself is awkward as I have to have the pipe at a angle so the pressure doesnt pull it out.

But its also a little short as in even if I carefully moved the pipe it doesnt have much slack on it so I have to carefully move the washing machine back so it doesnt fall back and I have to drag my machine back forward again (which also mangles the plastic floor cover) and even then like tonight the hose when in the pipe pulled back out when the water turned on meaning I had to drag it forward once again.

It was fine for months till I went into cupboard to get something I left in there which must of moved the pipe so spent 20 minutes mopping up.

I was thinking if nothing could be bought to make something out of cardboard but would that be enough? as in put a small hole in it just big enough for the hose and no more then plenty of strong tape to stop the pressure pulling it out.

But even better would be if I also could extend the hose but only just over a foot about a foot and a half at most.

Do you have one of these on the hose?

If you have one with the screw hole on the top you should be able to fix it to the wall to stop it moving about.

Also if the existing hose is a little short you can from memory get slightly longer versions, I'm fairly sure that Screwfix do a 1.5m and a 2m hose.

Forgot about this, the main issue seems to be that as theres a cupboard next to machine you have to loop the hose over the edge of cupboard and back down into hose so the slack pulls it out, best way would be to cut a tiny hole in the under sink cupboard so no slack, currently means I cant screw the hose to wall as well.

Will give those 2 to 1 hose things a try though should help at I may put a bit of tape around it just in case too.

Just tape it in place with some duct tape, no gadgets required.
