Product review (5 stars): Does what it claims
If you're like me and your drain pipe is a little too far from your new Whirlpool washer, this is part of what you'll need to extend the drain hose. It's the same composition and diameter as the included drain hose so you won't need to worry about fit or damage to your washer.

Make sure you also get the hose connector kit. I originally tried to save some money by finding a similar kit at the hardware store but didn't come up with anything that fit well, and had to tinker with it to stop the leaks. I ended up just getting the connector on Amazon, too. Whirlpool Part Number 285835: Hose Connector

Once connected properly, it's been trouble free.
