Laundry plumbing help

Hi all,

I have just moved into my new townhouse but I have a laundry plumbing problem. I have a Miele washing machine with, what I understood to be a standard wastewater outlet hose - you can see the hose (ribbed pipe shown on bottom shelf of cabinet) in attached photos. The previous owners had a special connection to the small nipple valve in the middle of the u bend shown on the photos. As I understand it the nipple valve is actually designed for a dishwasher and is too small to take discharges from a washing machine. Is this correct or if not what on earth an I supposed to buy to connect the end of the washing machine hose to this nipple?

Any help would be appreciated. I can’t do any washing at the moment and I suspect it will be difficult to find a good plumber at this time of year!
