Washing machine Waste Pipe Attached To Machine

[panthro]

I'm looking to install my new washing machine.

The waste pipe was clipped round the back of the machine during transit. It popped out of some of the clips with ease, but one clip seems sealed.

I need the extra length, so ideally need to unclip it from the clip shown in the photos below. Is there a reason why it's clipped firmly in here and not in other places?

The screw to right undo this but you can get hose extensions

When installing a washing machine, it’s important to understand the proper height and placement of the drain hose.

This will ensure that there’s less of a risk of potential overflow while helping to prevent flooding in your laundry room.

Yes, the drain hose needs to be elevated and it’s always best to do so at a level that’s higher than the washing machine itself. This will prevent possible siphoning. There are also other steps you can take to ensure that you get the best drainage.
