Product Information

Full details

This SPARES2GO Air Con Vent Hose is for users of HOMCOM air conditioning units needing a replacement or extension exhaust hose. Its key benefit is enhanced insulation for reduced noise and heat, along with improved air quality. A potential caveat is its 3-meter maximum length, which may not suit all installations.

FAQs

What is the exact diameter of the hose connection?

The hose features a 150mm (5.9 inch) diameter connection.

What is the maximum length the hose can extend to?

The hose can extend up to a maximum length of 3 meters (10 feet).

Can this hose be used with brands other than HOMCOM?

Yes, it is designed to fit most air conditioning units that have a standard 150mm (5.9 inch) hose outlet.

How does the insulation help?

The aluminium foil insulation lining significantly reduces the noise output and heat generation from the exhaust air passing through the hose.

Is the hose rigid or flexible?

The hose is highly flexible, allowing it to be routed around obstacles, but it also contains an inner steel wire coil to help maintain its shape and prevent collapse.

How do I clean the vent hose?

You can clean the exterior of the hose by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What happens if the hose gets kinked?

Kinking can restrict airflow and reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner. Try to route the hose with gentle curves and avoid sharp bends.

Troubleshooting

Hose is not connecting securely to the unit.

Verify that the unit's exhaust port is indeed 150mm (5.9 inches) and that you are using the correct end of the hose. Check for any obstructions on the connector or port.

Reduced cooling efficiency.

Ensure the hose is not kinked, crushed, or excessively bent, which can restrict airflow. Check that the hose is fully extended to its optimal length and that there are no leaks along its length or at the connection points.

Excessive noise from the hose.

While designed to reduce noise, some sound transmission is normal. Ensure the hose is properly secured at both ends and that the insulation lining is intact. Check that the hose is not vibrating against any surfaces.

Hose seems too short for the desired placement.

Measure the distance from the unit to the ventilation point. If it exceeds 3 meters, you may need to consider relocating the air conditioning unit closer to the window or purchasing an additional hose if your unit allows for extensions (check unit manual).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces noise and heat transfer from the air conditioning unit.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and maintains shape.
  • Flexible enough for complex installation routes.
  • Contributes to better indoor air quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your air conditioning unit is switched off and unplugged.
  2. Locate the exhaust port on your air conditioning unit. It should be a 150mm (5.9 inch) diameter opening.
  3. Align the hose's 150mm connector with the unit's exhaust port. Securely push or screw the connector into place, depending on the unit's fitting mechanism.
  4. Extend the hose to the desired length, routing it carefully to avoid sharp bends or kinks. Ensure it reaches your chosen ventilation point (e.g., window kit).
  5. Connect the other end of the hose to your window kit or ventilation opening.
  6. Plug in and switch on your air conditioning unit.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for HOMCOM air conditioning units.
  • Generally compatible with any air conditioning unit featuring a standard 150mm (5.9 inch) exhaust hose outlet.

Care:

  • Wipe the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check the hose for any tears or damage to the PVC sleeve or insulation.
  • Store the hose rolled or loosely coiled when not in use, avoiding sharp folds.
