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

This is very easy to assemble & use. Great price.

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 is great is you have big window openings, now I can use my portable ac thanks to this product

I have the black and decker portable AC, So The hose ring is too big for this kit, The slabs are a tad bigger than the slabs that come with the AC, I was able to use both kinds of slabs and conjoin them together to make it longer as I needed. I would say buy the hose and hope it has the right ring to fit together properly.

works well wish came in smaller size for the vent hole, a 4inch hole would have been preferred but it was difficult finding one that had a 4 inch hole.

The hole for the hose to vent through is less than an inch from where the screw plate is supposed to go to attach one of the sliding plates, so the vent has to be at the bottom or at the top of the door, as there is no way to attach both both a plate and the vent. It would be better to put the vent coupler in the center of the panel so that the height can be adjusted using the sliding plates. After struggling with it, I used the black foam strip provided to brace the plates against the door frame, top and bottom; otherwise, it flops around. The foam strip is too firm to fill to the gap between the plates and the door. Did I mention that the foam provided is BLACK? The kit panels are a very light grey and the frame for my sliding door is silver--why would I want an ugly black strip between the two? Fortunately I hase some more forgiving grey foam weather stripping to use. I also used silicone weather stripping tape, which provided a satisfactory seal. Hooray for 3M! The design overlooks the fact that the sliding door lock is right in the middle of where the plates are supposed to go, so I had to work around that as well. Just poorly designed.

I bought this after moving to an apartment where the best place for my AC is the sliding glass door. I refused to believe the question/answer part here that said you couldn’t open the door with this installed. Surely, there’s a way. I was right! It’s really not even hard. Just make sure you set it up to realllly fit, vertically, and it’ll stay no problem. I had the issue of a bit of a crack where hot air got in, and fixed it with the weatherstripping it came with + I bought a bit more to make it perfect. It stays just fine when I open and close the sliding glass door! Even better than that, I can still close and lock the screen door because it’s behind the vent. 10/10 great product.

Hose connector don’t fix Black & Decker AC

Took me a second to figure out reading the instructions, but after looking at the product photos online it made sense. Works great!!! Sturdy and great value! The included foam strip helped close the gaps and prevent insects entering.

It feels very flimsy and theres such a draft. Its not much better than making one or of cardboard
