SPARES2GO Exterior Wall Venting Kit & Extension Hose for Air Conditioning Unit (5" x 3m, Brown)

Product Information

My husband made the hole in the brick wall so can’t help with the cost of that, but it is great - in other rooms we have to fashion a way to cover the gap where the hose pokes through. Portable air conditioning units are a great option for supplementing existing air conditioning systems within your home or workspace in the short term.

As sliding doors usually lead to the outdoors, they are very similar to windows and therefore make excellent options for ventilation. Outside, I also fixed the grid to the pipe with the aluminum tape but it came off after a few days due to the heat, so I replaced the tape with small rivets. The main obstacle to overcome when venting through a wall is creating a hole to connect your hose to the outside air so hot air can be expelled from the building. Additionally, if your AC also expels humidity, this could promote the growth of mould and mildew in your attic which would risk structural and health complications. I’ve got an ordinary outward opening sort of big traditional window I think, hard to describe and too dark now to take photo!The next thing you need to bear in mind is making sure that the hose remains as straight as possible as bends can trap heat, causing your air conditioning unit to lose efficiency. Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. I present my installation to you: a hatch with plug is installed in the wall, a 2m pipe crosses the lost part of the attic, and the hot air is evacuated outside the house by a grille.

About: Passionate of DIY of any kind, I am not of the trade (I am developer in computing) but I am self-taught and I like to learn new things. Please also check with your local Royal Mail depot before getting in touch - as many items will be too big to fit through your letter box, this being the most common reason for delay. Most external AC vents feature flaps or covers to prevent items from entering the vent and blocking it, as well as reducing excess loss of heat. I'd like to have wall holes and fixtures (vents) fitted in a couple rooms instead so I can just wheel it between rooms and plug the hose up to wall.It is recommended to increase the diameter of your hose as you increase its length, to avoid this issue.

The negative pressure created from taking in hot air encourages the suction of unconditioned air so sealing off the room being cooled prevents this air from entering. Not having the means to have a better insulated house, it is an acceptable solution because the heatwaves do not last very long in the north of France. The external vent didn't mount onto the rectangular tube, because the corner radius of the tube was smaller than the vent.
