Product Information
Full details
This Spares2Go Vent Hose is designed for users of Delonghi air conditioning units needing a reliable and effective exhaust solution. Its key benefit is improved efficiency and reduced noise through superior insulation. A potential caveat is that it fits most units with a standard 125mm outlet, so verification is recommended. This premium quality, universal insulated vent outlet hose pipe features a durable PVC sleeve, a steel wire coil for shape retention, and aluminum foil insulation to minimize noise and heat transfer, extending up to 6 meters.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the exact diameter of the connection port?
The connection diameter is 125mm, which is equivalent to 5 inches.
What is the maximum length the hose can be extended?
The hose can be extended up to a maximum operational length of 6 meters (approximately 20 feet).
Can this hose be used with brands other than Delonghi?
Yes, this is a universal hose designed to fit most air conditioning units with a standard 125mm (5-inch) exhaust outlet, regardless of brand.
Does the insulation affect the hose's flexibility?
No, the hose remains highly flexible, allowing it to be maneuvered around furniture and obstacles while still providing noise and heat reduction.
How do I prevent the hose from collapsing or kinking?
The integrated steel wire coil helps the hose retain its shape and rigidity. Avoid sharp bends or placing heavy objects on the hose.
Is the insulation material fire-resistant?
The product description does not specify fire-resistant properties for the insulation. It is recommended to maintain safe clearances from heat sources.
Can I connect two hoses together for a longer reach?
While not explicitly recommended, it might be possible with appropriate connectors. However, extending beyond the 6m limit can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning unit and potentially strain the motor.
Troubleshooting
Hose is not fitting the air conditioner unit.
Verify that your air conditioning unit has a standard 125mm (5-inch) exhaust port. If it is a different size, you may need an appropriate adapter.
Reduced airflow or cooling efficiency.
Check the entire length of the hose for kinks, bends, or obstructions. Ensure the hose is not over-extended beyond its 6m limit, which can strain the unit. Clean any dust or debris from the inside of the hose.
Excessive noise despite insulation.
Ensure the hose connections at both the unit and the window vent are secure and airtight. Leaks can cause whistling or increased noise. Check that the hose is not touching vibrating surfaces.
Hose feels excessively hot to the touch.
While some warmth is normal due to expelled hot air, extreme heat might indicate a blockage or that the insulation is compromised. Inspect for damage and ensure proper ventilation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces operational noise and heat output due to insulation.
- Durable construction ensures longevity and maintains shape.
- Provides a generous 6-meter length for flexible placement.
- Easy to maneuver and install around obstacles.
- Contributes to better indoor air quality by proper venting.
Cons
- Requires a standard 125mm (5-inch) hose outlet for connection.
- May require additional adapters for non-standard outlets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your Delonghi air conditioning unit has a standard 125mm (5-inch) exhaust port.
- Extend the hose to the desired length, being careful not to over-extend beyond the 6m maximum.
- Connect one end of the hose securely to the air conditioning unit's exhaust port. It should typically push or twist into place.
- Connect the other end to the window vent kit or exterior opening. This may involve a simple push-fit or a clamp mechanism depending on your existing vent setup.
Compatibility:
This hose is designed for Delonghi air conditioning units with a 125mm (5-inch) diameter exhaust outlet. It is a universal fit for most models requiring this standard connection size. Always double-check your air conditioning unit's specifications to confirm the exhaust hose diameter before purchasing.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of damage, tears, or kinks.
- Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Ensure the interior is free from dust or debris that could obstruct airflow. If necessary, disconnect and gently run water through it (allow to dry completely before reconnecting).
- Store the hose neatly coiled when not in use to prevent damage.
