Universal Window Seal Kit for Portable Air Conditioner of Exhaust Hose 5.1 Inch Diameter with Coupler Adjustable AC Vent Kit PVC Seal for Sliding Window

As the ac went out in my house during one of the hottest days of the summer, I had bought a portable ac unit for my mother. Couldnt find the piece to attach the vent to the window and found one hear. It arrived around 5:30-6:00 the next morning and I was able to provide my mother with the air she needs and avoided any potential upper respiratory issues. This was perfect!!!!

EZ as pie to install .

Fit in window and very easy install.

I looked up Della Portable A/C and this popped up saying it would fit my A/C. It does not.

Packaging looks like this is a full kit with a hose. It is not. Im not sure why someone would want a window kit minus a hose, but now I have to shop for one of those as well, hoping it will fit this kit, because it is apparently completely impossible to find a full kit that is 5.1 and matches my unit. (The old hose and hose attachment have melted from so many summers of use).

Where do I start? 1) The assembly needs to be 1 to 2 wider. Not enough clearance between the connector and wall to get a clamp on. Work around put the adapter on exhaust duct and tape it. 2) Top and bottom is not wide enough to put a seal. so you have gaps at top and bottom. 3) Top and bottom of window frames have a ridge that the window slides on. The vent assembly has no cut out for these. 4) The assembly is very flimsy. Over all if this sold for $10-$15 it would be a bargain. But for what they are selling it for, not such a good deal and Id seriously consider going to Home Depot or Lowes and get some plywood and make my own.

This product took me a few tries to get pieces to fit together and slide parts to fit my patio door but once I loosen the screws the pieces were easier to adjust. Also the vent opening on my air conditioner was too big to fit properly but I was able to combine the new and original parts together with a little bit of duct tape!

The first kit I ordered arrived with a broken hose adapter ring. The product packaging is just a clear plastic sealed bag. The bagged kit came in the usual Amazon brown box which showed no signs of damage or abuse during shipping. The broken ring must have been damaged during pre boxing handling somewhere. The plastic hose ring is not protected against bumps or a dropped bag package.. The ring is thin sectioned, especially the circumference that goes through the hole in one of the door sealing plates. So I returned the whole kit and got a replacement. The second kit also came with a broken hose adapter ring. A piece was busted off about 2/3 of the circumference of the thin walled area of the ring. Strike two. Rather than return and replace with a third kit, I have glued the broken hose ring back together. Foolish because that may not be a reliable fix. But I do not believe this ring design is robust and even an undamaged ring it likely will need replacement after some use. Worst case… a broken ring could be held in place through the door seal plate using tape. I have not installed the kit yet (glue is drying) so no comment on function yet. I have fingers crossed the repaired ring is usable.
