Aftermarket, Portable-AC Hoses

This is the typical scenario. You purchase a new, portable AC, and it comes with a portable-AC hose. Just a few months later, and the hose that came with your portable AC is already falling apart. Now you need a new one—quick. Most of the hoses that come with portable ACs are made a polypropylene, a cheap elastomer that’s nowhere near as durable as other types of plastic, such as polyvinyl-chloride. This is why we offer a wide variety of portable-AC hoses—nearly all of which are made from PVC or some other kind of extremely durable material.

When choosing your new portable-AC-hose, make sure the ID, or inside diameter, matches the OD, or outside diameter, of the opening over which you want to attach the hose. This way, you can ensure that the connection between the hose and your portable-AC unit is air-tight—preventing any hot air that your unit exhausts from leaking back into your room. You should also consider choosing an insulated hose. Letting your hose get too hot is another way that significant amounts of heat can leak back into your room, decreasing the overall efficiency of your unit.

Does Duct Size Matter?

Of course, the size of your duct has significant implications toward how well your system works. Both undersized and oversized ducts are detriments to their systems, so getting the proper size of ductwork should be one of your top priorities.

Ductwork is measured in terms of ID, or inside diameter. This value reflects a hose’s diameter, excluding the thickness of the hose’s walls. For the most part, improperly-sized ducts don’t even fit onto the openings to which you try to attach them. But in some cases, they might. Just because a hose fits, though, doesn’t mean that it’s the right size. The amount of matter your system intends to push through the hose is the most significant determiner of whether a hose is properly sized. A hose that’s too small applies too much pressure to the objects it carries, potentially backing up your system and damaging its parts. A hose that’s too big, on the other hand, doesn’t apply enough pressure to the matter traveling through it—lowering your system’s efficiency, too. For the optimal match between your machine and a duct, consult one of our ducting specialists. We’re equipped with the right tools and the knowhow to help you find the best hose possible.

Why Should You Insulate Ducting?

Insulation is one of the hallmarks of a great hose, especially when it comes to temperature-sensitive applications. Think air ventilation. Maintaining the temperatures of the air inside of the duct is crucial to ensuring that the right temperature of air gets from point A to point B. Otherwise, your system may not cool or heat your room or building at the rate you’d hope it to.

So, when your air-ventilation system doesn’t seem to be working right, take a look at your ducting. Your ductwork might lack the degree of insulation it needs to run at maximum efficiency. Ducting comes insulated in many ways, but two materials are typically most effective at containing heat: cotton and PET-film. Our hoses made with either cotton or PET-film are also structured with aluminum lining their interiors since aluminum naturally reflects heat. Having an aluminum interior, an insulating mid-layer, and a durable exterior make for an insulated hose that’s built to withstand a variety of conditions—all while optimizing the efficiency of your system.

Portable AC Hose

When a project requires an AC hose to be frequently moved between locations, it presents a unique set of demands that requires a portable hose. Portable AC hose products need to be durable, flexible, and compressible. They also need to be able to withstand the rigors of the outdoors. For work that requires high levels of movement, it is also important to have a retractable hose for convenient transportation. The benefits of having a proper portable AC hose are no more evident than when it is used in—of course—a portable air conditioning unit.
