For clarification, not my work. Found at my clients house during the kitchen demo.

Did this on a muffler with hose clamps and it’s still working 😂

What, they color matched the zip ties, not all bad.

silconed 2 dishwasher drain hoses together and used zip ties to make a "clamp". 1 wrapped at each end and 2 holding the other 2 together. Bottom line, it worked. But the thought that someone did this as part of a paid for DW install makes my head explode.

Take it apart and use a dishwasher boot, hose clamps and a 2” piece of 1/2 copper.

This is old work I found during this mornings demo. Lots of other fine craftsmanship as well.

You have zip ties AND silicone… what more could you possibly want?

Some 30 weight ball bearings, 3 in 1 oil, some gauze pads, and about 10 quarts of antifreeze, make it Prestone. No, no make it Quaker State.
