Product Description
An Air Conditioner PVC Drain Hose / Pipe / Tube (Flexible, 16mm internal diameter x 50 metre roll) is typically used in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, especially for draining condensate water that accumulates during the operation of an air conditioner or dehumidifier.
Key Features:
-
PVC Material:
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant material, making it a popular choice for drain hoses in air conditioning systems. It is resistant to various environmental factors like moisture and chemicals, making it well-suited for draining condensate water.
-
Flexible Design:
- The hose is designed to be flexible, allowing for easy installation and routing. This flexibility ensures it can be bent around obstacles or shaped to suit the installation layout of your air conditioning unit.
-
16mm Internal Diameter:
- The internal diameter of 16mm is a standard size for most air conditioner drainage systems. This size ensures that the condensate water can flow freely without obstruction.
-
50 Metre Roll:
- A 50-metre roll of hose provides a substantial length of material, allowing you to cover long distances between the air conditioning unit and the drainage point. This is particularly useful in larger installations where the hose needs to run a considerable length to reach a suitable drainage area.
Common Applications:
- Air Conditioners: Used for draining condensate water from split system air conditioners, window units, or any system that produces condensation during cooling.
- Dehumidifiers: Often used in dehumidifiers to drain moisture collected from the air.
- HVAC Systems: Part of larger HVAC systems, especially in commercial or industrial setups, to ensure proper moisture removal.
- Draining to Sinks, Gutters, or Outdoor Areas: The hose can be routed to direct the condensate water to drains, sinks, or outdoor areas, preventing water damage to floors or other surfaces.
Benefits:
- Durability: The PVC construction ensures long-lasting use, even in outdoor environments, as it resists weather conditions and environmental factors.
- Ease of Installation: The flexibility of the hose allows for quick and easy installation around corners and obstructions.
- Cost-Effective: Buying the hose in a 50-metre roll offers a more economical option for larger projects or multiple installations.
- Leak-Free Flow: Designed to handle the continuous flow of water, the hose maintains proper drainage and prevents clogs or leaks over time.
Things to Consider:
- Drainage Point: Ensure that the hose is long enough to reach the appropriate drainage point from your air conditioner.
- Slope/Flow: When installing the hose, make sure it’s properly sloped so the condensate water can flow freely toward the drain. A lack of slope can cause water to stagnate or back up.
- Temperature Resistance: While PVC is resistant to most temperatures, ensure it won't be exposed to extreme conditions (e.g., freezing) unless specified.
This flexible PVC drain hose is a great option for both residential and commercial air conditioning setups, ensuring efficient and reliable condensate water drainage.
