Getting ready to vent mine to the outside. Watched several How-To videos; yours is the best. Thank you.

This is the best video I’ve seen for this!! Great job!

Thanks! When I made this, there was nothing else out there that matched my problem so I figured I'd film my process in case anyone else was stuck too!

One of the cleanest installs ive seen so far - thx for sharing

Make sure that you are aware that most systems now are the two hose systems…and this specific method will not work unless you cut an opening in your wall and outside..more than twice the size of this solution.

Good job. One thing you could do to your setup is route a drain hose from your air conditioner unit outside. It would make your outside plants happy.

I am so glad I found this video because I have stucco walks as well. Thank you so much!! It was getting to be super frustrating.

Make sure you are not venting hot air into your wall, it looked like even though you did succeed in getting the flaps to work there is still an unsealed gap letting air into the wall. You did say that you were going to do more to this project so I hope making an uninterrupted pipe of some kind was included. Nice video however.

Hopefully that tube thing is completely flush with the outer wall so that condensed air doesn’t travel up walls and create mold, but it looks like you did it pretty well; nice job.

Portable acs vent hot air. The condensation is stored in the tank you manually empty. I got one bc my window unit eventually grew mold due to high humidity and my room getting direct sunlight (corner room).

Madam, you must be sure that the metal flange butts up tight to the exterior vent and it must be sealed to prevent moisture from the AC exhaust being blown into your wall that will cause serious moisture damage and build up of dangerous mould!

Thanks for making the video. You should make more.

Presented well, I'm looking at the same option however into the basement wall cutting out the paneling close to a block that was egress for other house utilities.

Great video. I just got a ac and running the hose up to the window just won’t work for me so this is a great alternative. Thank you so much. One question, are you leaving the ac there year round? I was thinking maybe looking for some sort of cover for the inside for when the AC is put away in the winter. Are you using anything?

Thanks for the video. This resolves a problem for me.

This will change completely now that most of the units being sold now are the ones with the two hose system…

Thank you for this helpful video! Did you end up finding a 6” flange that worked well to cover the adhesive/foam part?

I couldn't honestly tell you. I don't think its going to make a huge difference because the sound is from the unit itself, not the hose. Its is not super nosey. I installed this in my treatment room and I just make sure and turn it on high about an hour before I have a client and then put it on low during our session. It's not disruptive. High is louder though.

What is so strange with these kits that they put on the ground like a heating system, my logicly says it should be cooling from the sealing.......why? Heat goes up for a heating it sucks cool air from down and the air goes up....and cool air goes down so it shoul suck warm air from the sealing so the control unit should be at the bottum, i punt it on a cabinet table so middle high , otherwise i cannot read the contol unit.... Am i crazy? Cheers..

How often does a portable A/C needed drained of water?

@aleasah

That really varies on the level of humidity in your room it's being used, which also depends on where you live and how often you run it. Mine has a light that comes on when it's time to drain it.

@Marc.Lanting

you don't have to drain the ac.the water is going out with the outside hose when its running.the water is also cooling the condensor so you get a better performance of the ac.In case of a verry high humudity it can happend that you must drain the ac.

I live in Southern California so it stays in year round so far. But I have a round metal cap for the duct that I keep in case I want to move it to storage and use a space heater instead. If it gets very cold where you are, you could just add some insulation to that cap before putting it on.

Yes, you are correct. I hired a licensed handyman/contractor to cut through the walls of our home so I didn't do anything stupid to damage it myself. He had never installed an AC unit in this way and was following my instructions. I asked him to make sure everything in my plan made sense and would work ok and he agreed. I would never recommend to anyone to cut a hole in the walls of their home on their own. You could hit electrical, pipes etc. Sorry, he does not have a KZread channel or video explaining this. He's in his late 70's/early 80's. Best of luck to you.

Just wondering how you will get the new ring over the connector on the hose?

Hi Theresa! I don't have a link, my licensed handyman purchased it from Amazon. It is just a fairly standard dryer vent for outside. He couldn't get it from Lowes or Home Depot because they don't carry 6" ones. This AC unit has a 6" hose. If yours is a 4 or 5", you can find something similar in the store. Otherwise, Amazon to the rescue! It was much easier for me to hire someone to cut out the hole in the wall for me since I dont have the tools or skills for that. Then I handled the rest as the video shows! Good luck to you and hope your project works out for you and you stay cool!
