Attach and Tighten Zip Tie

They Missed a BIG Step on Our Washing Machine Install!
What happens here
To secure the drain hose, take a standard plastic zip tie and carefully thread it around the corrugated washing machine drain hose. Once the zip tie is around the drain hose, wrap the remaining length of the zip tie around one of the braided flexible supply lines (either the hot or cold water line) that connects to the washing machine's water inlet. Ensure that the zip tie firmly encompasses both the drain hose and the selected supply line. Pull the zip tie tight until the drain hose is securely held in place against the supply line. This secure connection will prevent the drain hose from moving freely, eliminating its ability to dislodge from the standpipe during drainage or hit the wall, thus solving both identified problems.
Goal: Prevent drain hose movement and dislodgement
