A/C drain hose revisted (again)

[PBaker]

Tried doing a search and nothing would come up so my question is what size hose is used on the a/c drain and how long is best.



Thanks,

Paul

The inside diameter is 5/8". Get an ell hose with a short leg (about 3") and whatever the long leg happens to be. I think I had to cut a little off the short leg, and the longer part is almost to the frame. Hope this helps.

A/C hose

Thanks JPittman for the quick reply. Were exactly did you pick up your hose and what kind should I look for.



Thanks again,

Paul

I used a 5/8 bypass hose and secured with a clamp. I also sprayed lysol thru the vent to try and kill what ever was growing. I still have a slight smell when first turned on. It seems the best fix is to run the fan with ac off for a minute before shutdown to dry the coil.

I got the hose at Car Quest, don't know if you have one there but any Napa, or similar auto parts store should have it. Just ask for a 5/8" hose that's an ell. They may have several to choose from. I was lucky, the first one the parts guy bought out was exactly what I was looking for.
