Dishwasher drain leaks

[ianrb]

All the other dishwasher & washing mc drains I have seen have consisted of the soft end of the drain hose forced over a tapered rigid plastic spigot, held in place with an optional jubilee clip.

This looks as if the soft end of the hose is stuck in the under sink plastic equivalent of a compression fitting, with a couple of straps for good luck. And it's leaking.

To fix it do I just need to tighten it a bit more, or do I need to visit B&Q and get the appropriate "spigot", or whatever it's called?

If it hasn't always leaked I'd check the rest of the pipes for blockages, they may need cleaning out if it's running into a sink trap.

I don't know if they're all the same, but I ran ours (Neff, but Bosch / Siemens will be same) into a bucket while investigating a problem and the flow is pretty tremendous for the few seconds it takes the machine to drain. I'm not surprised that arrangement leaks - it would need a very clear path for the water not to back up and leak.

That’s not a good way to do it tbh, eg the rubber hose will compress unless there’s some kind of tube inside, not a standard way of doing things!
Just get a proper spigot type fitting as you say.
I’d buy a couple of variations from eg screwfix & return any that don’t look right when you go to fit..

Yes (with a jubilee clip)

You could probably get that to work by putting an insert into the end of the hose to strengthen it then doing up the nut a bit tighter with the addition of some ptfe.

The correct way would be to terminate it the same way into a washing machine upstand trap or a trap with a dedicated spigot and a jubilee clip

This is the way to go.
