Designed for users who require extra flexibility to navigate around room corners or reach distant windows, this 125mm (5-inch) diameter hose offers high durability and thermal insulation.

FAQs
Will this fit my 6-inch air conditioner vent?
No, this hose is specifically designed for 125mm (5-inch) vents. It will not fit a 6-inch port without a specific size-reduction adapter.
Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?
While the hose is designed to be extendable, cutting the wire reinforcement can be difficult and may damage the structural integrity of the hose.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is designed to handle damp air, but it is intended for indoor use. Avoid using it in areas where it might be exposed to rain.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
The package includes the hose; please use the adapter or ring that came with your original portable air conditioning unit to secure it.
Can this be used for tumble dryers?
This hose is specifically designed for portable air conditioning units. It is not recommended for tumble dryer use due to different heat and safety specifications.
Troubleshooting
Hose does not fit the unit exhaust port
Verify that your unit uses a standard 125mm (5-inch) diameter connection. If your unit uses a 6-inch port, you will need an adapter or a different hose size.
Airflow seems restricted
Check the hose for sharp bends or kinks. Straighten out the hose as much as possible to ensure clear passage of air.
Hose sags or droops
Use non-abrasive ties or support brackets to prop up the hose, especially if it is extended over a long distance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Generous 6-meter length allows for placement in almost any part of a room.
- Internal steel wire ensures the hose does not collapse or kink easily.
- Insulated design prevents the hose from becoming a heat radiator, maintaining room temperature.
- Compact 260mm retracted length makes storage easy when not in use.
Cons
- Requires specific 125mm diameter compatibility; may not fit units with 6-inch ports.
- Significant length might require extra support to prevent sagging.
- Extended length can potentially reduce airflow efficiency if bent too sharply.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply align the 125mm end with your AC unit's exhaust port and secure it with the provided housing clamps or your unit’s specific adapter. Ensure the connection is airtight to prevent hot exhaust air from leaking back into the room.
Care instructions include:
- Periodically check the exterior for dust buildup.
- Wipe the hose with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive chemicals that might degrade the insulation.
- Ensure the hose is fully dry before retracting it for long-term storage.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on the hose, as this may crush the internal wire coil.
