The flex pipe Thor used was never meant to be connected with standard plumbing connections using slip joint nuts. It has ribbed plastic ends designed for use with rolled irrigation pipe. No matter how tight the nut was you could easily pull the hose out of the fitting. Needless to say in the cramped quarters with everything else that is running through that area it caught on something and pulled loose allowing sink water to drain inside the slide. I used a short piece of pvc pipe to make the connection with the compression nut then the rubber adaptor with hose clamps to secure the pvc to the ribbed fitting on the flex hose. You can yank on that all day long and it’s not coming loose.
