Poistoletkulla

Poistoletkulla is a Finnish term that translates to "discharge hose" or "drain hose" in English. It refers to a flexible tube used for expelling fluids from a system or container. These hoses are commonly found in various applications, from household appliances to industrial machinery.

In the context of domestic appliances, a poistoletkulla is most frequently associated with washing machines and dishwashers. Its primary function is to transport wastewater from the appliance to a drain or sink after a wash cycle. The hose is designed to withstand water pressure and temperature, ensuring safe and efficient drainage. It typically connects to the appliance at one end and is secured in a drainpipe or at the edge of a sink at the other.

Beyond domestic use, poistoletkulla can also refer to hoses used in industrial settings for transferring liquids, chemicals, or other substances. These industrial versions may be constructed from more robust materials to handle corrosive or high-pressure fluids. The term emphasizes the outflow or discharge aspect of the hose's purpose, distinguishing it from supply or intake hoses. The design and material of a poistoletkulla are chosen based on the specific requirements of the application, including the type of fluid, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions.
