Water softener overflow nozel/pipe (15mm)

[NeilFawcett]

Our water softener has been moved, and unfortunately the little exterior overflow nozel for it has been smashed.

Basically the overflow hose is 15mm, so we're looking for a nice tidy overflow nozel for it on the exterior (garage) wall? At the moment we've just got a 15-20mm hole through the garage wall with a hose sticking out! Blah!

Worse case, I guess I could get a pair of white 15mm push fit elbows, and a 15mm plastic pipe. I'd cut the plastic pipe to length such that the two elbows could be fittered either side of the wall with the pipe through the brickwork, hence holding the whole thing in place by pinching either side of the hole through the wall.

I'd then connect the 15mm overflow hose to the inside one.

Anyone got an alternative?

I've phoned and phoned and cannot find a dedicated overflow nozel like we had!

Hello Neil , If there is room on the inside you could soften the hose withboiling water and push it over a piece of 15mm copper , then poke the copper thru the wall perhaps !

I think, the two 15mm push fit elbows, with 15mm solid plastic piping is probably the simplest/best solution thus far, if a proper overflow nosel is not available.

So the hose connects to a 15mm elbow on the inside of the wall, which connects to the 15mm plastic pipe through the wall, which connects to the 15mm elbow outside, pointing down.

I'll go to a plumb center and it may well be they have a variation on a 15mm elbow (for outside) that looks somewhat like a overflow nozel in effect... eg: An elbow that reduces to another size or something.
