Product Information

Full details

This Spares2Go Vent Hose is designed for users of Logik air conditioning units needing a replacement or extended exhaust hose. Its key benefit is improved efficiency and noise reduction due to its insulated design. A potential caveat is that it's primarily designed for standard 6" outlets, so compatibility with non-standard fittings may require adapters. This premium quality universal insulated vent outlet hose pipe features a durable PVC sleeve, a steel wire coil for shape retention, and an aluminum foil lining for noise and heat reduction, extending up to 6 meters.

FAQs

What is the diameter of the hose connector?

The hose connector is designed for a standard 150mm (6 inches) diameter outlet.

Can this hose be used with brands other than Logik?

Yes, this is a universal hose designed to fit most portable air conditioning units with a 150mm (6 inches) exhaust outlet.

What is the maximum length the hose can be extended?

The hose has an operational length of 6 meters (approximately 19.7 feet).

How does the insulation help?

The aluminum foil insulation lining helps to reduce the amount of noise generated by air movement and minimizes heat transfer from the exhaust air back into the room, improving efficiency.

Is the hose rigid or flexible?

The hose is highly flexible, allowing it to be maneuvered around obstacles, but it also contains an inner steel wire coil to help it retain its shape and rigidity when extended.

Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?

While you can cut the hose, it is not recommended as it may compromise the structural integrity and the effectiveness of the internal wire coil and insulation. It is best to use the full length or manage the excess carefully.

How should I store the hose when not in use?

Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid sharp bends or placing heavy objects on it to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Hose is not fitting securely to the AC unit.

Ensure you are using the correct end of the hose (6"/150mm) and that the AC unit's outlet matches this size. Check for any obstructions on the outlet or the hose connector. If necessary, a universal hose clamp may be used for a tighter fit.

Reduced cooling efficiency or airflow.

Check the hose for kinks, bends, or blockages. Ensure the hose is not extended beyond its 6m limit, as this can strain the unit. Verify the hose is securely attached at both ends and that the AC unit's filters are clean.

Excessive noise still present.

While the insulation reduces noise, some operational sound is normal. Ensure the hose is fully extended and not vibrating against surfaces. Check if the AC unit itself is on an uneven surface, which can amplify vibrations.

Hose is not holding its shape or is collapsing.

The internal steel wire coil is designed to maintain shape. If the hose is collapsing, it may indicate damage to the coil or extreme temperature conditions. Ensure the hose is not being compressed or stretched beyond its design limits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces operational noise and heat output.
  • Durable and tear-resistant outer material.
  • Maintains shape with internal wire coil.
  • Flexible for easy installation around obstacles.
  • Contributes to better indoor air quality.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for 6" (150mm) outlets; may require adapters for other sizes.
  • Maximum length of 6 meters might be limiting for some installations.
  • Insulation effectiveness can vary based on ambient temperature.
  • Requires secure attachment to prevent detachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your Logik air conditioning unit (or other compatible AC) is switched off and unplugged.
  2. Locate the vent outlet on the rear of the air conditioning unit. This is typically a circular opening.
  3. Align the 6" (150mm) end of the Spares2Go Vent Hose with the unit's outlet. Secure it firmly using the existing clamp mechanism or by twisting if the connection is designed for it.
  4. Route the other end of the hose to the desired exhaust location (e.g., window kit, wall vent).
  5. Extend the hose to the required length, being careful not to stretch it beyond its 6m operational limit.
  6. Ensure the hose is not kinked or excessively bent, as this can impede airflow and reduce efficiency.

Compatibility:

This hose is designed for Logik air conditioning units but is a universal fit for most portable air conditioners with a standard 150mm (6") exhaust hose outlet. Always check your specific air conditioner model's vent diameter before purchasing.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the exterior, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For interior cleaning, disconnect the hose and gently flush with water, ensuring it is completely dry before reconnecting.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the hose in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid sharp bends or heavy objects placed on it to prevent damage to the wire coil or insulation.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of damage, such as tears, punctures, or worn insulation. Damaged hoses should be replaced to maintain performance and safety.
