(54) Anti-flooding safety device for household appliances


(57) An anti-flooding safety device (1) for an electrical household appliance comprises a connector body (2,40), connected to which are the first ends of a first flexible pipe (20) and a second flexible pipe (30), at least one part of the first pipe (20) extending longitudinally inside said second pipe (30). The two pipes (20,30) are of a corrugated type, and the device (1) comprises at least one safety solenoid valve (4), mounted on the connector body (2). At least one end portion of said first pipe (20) is coupled to a first end portion (21a) of a tubular element (21,23), preferably made of elastic synthetic material. The tubular element (21,23) has at least one axial stretch of surface structured so as to engage with an axial stretch of surface of the first pipe (20). A second end portion (21b) of the tubular element (21) is engaged or fitted on a coupling part (2a) of the connector body (2,40).
