FAQs
What is the operational length of this hose?
The hose has an operational length of 6 meters.
Is this hose compatible with all air conditioning units?
This hose is designed for Bush air conditioning units with a standard 150mm (5.9") exhaust connection. While it fits the majority, it's always best to verify your unit's connection size.
How does the insulation help?
The aluminium foil insulation lining significantly reduces noise output and heat generation during operation, leading to a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Can this hose be used for ventilation or other purposes?
This hose is specifically designed for the exhaust of hot air from portable air conditioning units. Its use for other ventilation purposes is not recommended.
What is included in the kit?
The kit contains 1 x 150mm (5.9") x 6m Insulated Vent Hose and 2 x Adjustable Stainless Steel Clamp Clips (140mm - 160mm).
How do I clean the hose?
You can clean the exterior of the hose with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can the hose be permanently installed?
The hose is flexible and designed for portable AC units, making it suitable for temporary or seasonal installations through windows or vents. Permanent installation would depend on your specific setup and local regulations.
Troubleshooting
Hose is not fitting securely.
Ensure you are using the correct size clamp for the 150mm connection. Tighten the clamp firmly around the hose and the unit's port. Check if the hose end is fully seated.
Reduced cooling performance.
Check for kinks or sharp bends in the hose that might restrict airflow. Ensure the hose is properly sealed at both ends to prevent hot air recirculation. Clean any dust or debris from the hose interior if accessible.
Excessive noise despite insulation.
Verify that the hose is not touching any vibrating surfaces. Ensure all connections are airtight, as leaks can sometimes amplify noise. Check if the air conditioning unit itself is operating louder than usual.
Hose feels excessively hot to the touch.
This is normal for exhaust hoses. The insulation helps reduce heat transfer into the room, but the hose will naturally be warm. If it's extremely hot to the point of concern, re-check for blockages or ensure the AC unit is functioning within its normal parameters.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces noise and heat output for a quieter and cooler room.
- Durable construction with a tear-resistant sleeve and steel coil ensures longevity.
- Flexible and long (6m) for versatile placement and installation.
- Helps improve indoor air quality by preventing pollutants.
- Includes necessary clamps for a complete setup.
Cons
- Specific compatibility is for Bush models with a standard 150mm connection; may not fit all units.
- While insulated, prolonged heavy use might still generate some heat.
- Requires manual connection and securing, not a plug-and-play solution for all scenarios.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify Connection Point: Locate the exhaust vent outlet on your Bush air conditioning unit and the corresponding window or wall vent.
- Attach Hose to Unit: Securely attach one end of the insulated vent hose to the air conditioning unit's exhaust port. Use one of the provided stainless steel clamps to ensure a tight seal. Ensure the clamp is tightened sufficiently to prevent air leaks.
- Route the Hose: Carefully extend and position the hose towards your window or wall vent. Utilize its flexibility to navigate around obstacles without kinking the hose.
- Attach Hose to Vent: Secure the other end of the hose to your window or wall vent using the second stainless steel clamp. Again, ensure a snug fit to prevent any hot air from re-entering the room.
- Check for Leaks: Once everything is connected, turn on the air conditioning unit and visually inspect the connections for any signs of air leakage.
Compatibility:
- Brand: Primarily designed for Bush air conditioning units.
- Connection Size: Fits the vast majority of air conditioning unit models with a standard 150mm (5.9") exhaust connection.
- Important: Always measure your existing unit's exhaust port to confirm it is 150mm before purchasing.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the hose, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the PVC sleeve.
- Storage: When not in use, store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is not excessively kinked or compressed to maintain its shape and flexibility.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear, tear, or damage to the insulation or sleeve. Replace if significant damage is found to maintain efficiency and safety.
