doesn't the hose just push over this?

I haven't tried it yet, we will be moving the washing machine next weekend but just wanted to be prepared.  If it fits over do I just tighten the silver thingy (I don't know what it's called)

like this

Perfect, at least I have something to visualise.  I don't think my hose as that thick grey end that the clip is on.  However I won't know until next week when I move the washing machine.  If it does not have it, can I purchase the end grey bit?

my memory is very bad, but i think on some machines you will get a rubber waste pipe as shown in the photo.  they are easy push fit.  on other machines, the pipe is plastic and doesn't have the push fit end as such.  i tend to wrap the white connector with PTFE tape then push the plastic pipe on top as the PTFE tape create a tight seal.  then i use brown parcel tape to tape the join together.

Mine is plastic if I remember correctly.  My machine is 10 years old and a Bosch.  I will follow your advice.

i have connected several machines in the past with these plastic waste pipes as described and have never had a problem.
