drain hose

Appliance water exit

A drain hose is a flexible tube that carries wastewater away from an appliance.

Washing machines and dishwashers use drain hoses to empty into a standpipe or sink: The drain hose came loose and flooded the laundry room.

The term distinguishes these from supply hoses, which bring clean water in.
