Easiest way to cut off end of waste pipe for washing machine?

dekaspace

I used a knife to cut it when attaching washing machine and its secure but its not big enough so it drips out so I need a small plastic bowl under it and empty it once or twice during a load,

I did it the wrong way by just cutting a small piece off the end and hook the hose ontop rather than a bigger piece and it clamped on with the hose inside the pipe.

Took me ages to saw off the end with a knife.

So I am guessing a actual saw is needed but seems a waste just for one thing so is there any other way?

I don't understand what you have cut. Can you post a picture?

The part of pipe under sink where you attach the washing machine hose to, it was brand new so I needed to cut some off to fit the hose into the hole.

I never said you did, I said how to cut of end of waste pipe FOR washing machine as in the waste pipe under the sink not a waste pipe ON the washing machine (thats a HOSE)

Lol

Are you talking about this kind of thing ?
If so the washing machine pipe goes over it & will seal with the rubber end of the pipe or use a jubilee clip

YEs its like that but there was no hold in the end so I had to cut a piece off and its longer

Its almost identical to this one but longer and thin at one end and thick at other.
EDIT link not working, essentially its a long part that is thin and one end and longer at other, I cut off the bare minimum amount so hose slides onto it and its not coming loose but as its just slid on and no more it drips during spins.

EDIT Again the end of the hose from washer is a bit small so though it hooks/slides on I can't slide it all the way across, and the plastic on the pipe is just a little too thick to slide the hose all the way over.

Ok it sounds like the end is rubber & if so this should be a tight fit & would normally go over the thicker part, to do this the spigot will need cutting further back because as you have found the thinner part won't go into the corrugated part of the pipe, you could try tightening a jubilee clip over it first to see if it stops dripping, to answer your op buy a junior hacksaw from inxcess or the pound shop

It also won't help the rubber end is damaged, so the dripping may be coming from there.

Its just a split in the rubber that ends straight away where the wobby part of hose starts.

I technically might of been able to fit it over better but the end of the pipe under sink I cut (is that the spigot?) started off tiny and thickens a little, I cut off close to the end as I could but its not perfect.

If the plastic was as thin as the end piece the hose would of slotted over fine.

Hi,

are you talking about the plasticky type waste hose rather than the rubbery type?

The plasticky type is not as squashable, use one of these clips if awkward to get at with a screwdriver.



If need be you can build up the male (spigot) with some



use some washing up liquid if lubrication required.

As already said, a cheap £ shop hacksaw will do the job.

Put the rubbery hose in a bowl of warm water for five minutes. ... Not boiling water, just hot, and only put the tip in it. Put a single drop of washing up liquid on the plastic end. Then rapidly push the two together.

A clip can be added if needed, but it should work fine without.
