The drain hose for the washing machine has a different diameter at the ends of 19 x 22 mm, it also has a corrugated surface and is fixed inside the device, close to the drain pump. Then it goes along the walls of the body of the machine, and is brought out through the back wall, at the bottom or at the top.
