Fitting mismatch.
The valve looks like it’s designed to have a dowty seal in it.
When all else fails …

Cockpunch to myself for laughing at the expression on the poor bloke’s face. Definite contender for UTAC on Viz.

Or the valve fitter for not fitting the sort of valve which matches to every hose you get with appliances (we had the same thing with our washing machine a bit ago).
Fair point. Hopefully the slow leak didn’t cause too much damage.
Behind the dishwasher is pretty soggy and mouldy, but fortunately we attacked the floor with swimming pool paint prior to the lino going down which has minimised the problems there.
At this point do we need to see if @A_Touch_of_Cloth is out of his rohypnicello coma?
Sorry matey that you have had an issue with this. I would change the hose for the best quality one you can get from a plumbers merchant.
In all my days I have never ever had an issue with a hose/ valve interface. You can over tighten it and the rubber washer squeezes out the side, or the plastic can have a pinhole in it or in the rarest of cases the male mating face of the valve could have a deep score in it. Shite hoses are the most problematic.
This literally isn’t rocket science.
P.s. this wasn’t in any way meant to be an arsey reply.
It’s a standard valve 3/4 inch.
Although a casual peruse of the various plumbing catalogues shows not many with that ridge inside. I took the red centre part on the hose down to the bottom of the rubber washer so it mates well enough not to leak.
A Saturn 5 launch nearly failed due to incorrect flexible pipes.
Nearly’s don’t count.
They probably decided to buy decent hoses afterwards though.
It does look a bit odd. I assumed it was some sort of plug inserted into the valve body to retain the ball. But now I’m not sure it is. Maybe just there for stiffening 
?

Changed flexible hoses to metal to stop a risk of errors in routing, so yes.
That explains it. Route to the washing machine has been simplified over time 
Amacuntz. Very nice of them to tell me the box is heavy, because it is. Not so nice of them to hide the handles inside the fucking box, which obviously I’m not allowed to open to utilise them…
Yes, I know they’re for the benefit of the customer, not the poor Cunt who has to carry it all the way down the fucking enormous driveway…

Shame we’re not issued with them.
Really? FFS… Mine was under a £tenner and has managed (very-much-just) to shift the Singing Washing-Machines while still in their boxes. Rather than fuck your back carting stuff about for ungrateful cunts, why not get yerself one?
