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

The wrong one was shipped but I used it anyway. It is a very high quality plastic.

I didnt use it vertically, I used it horizontally and it worked out great. It was easy to fit to size and I was able to connect it to my ac unit easily. It stops hot air from getting in and cold air from getting out. Mainly, it stopped the bugs.

Simple to install works perfectly

The panels themselves are fine and it all assembled fairly quickly. But the little snap on flanges that attach the hose ring to the panel are flimsy and youll probably end up taping it out of frustration of getting it to stay up. It hasnt broken, the clips just arent strong enough to hold up the weight of the hose. Eh, these are all probably from the same manufacturer in China so this one is probably as good as any other. At least it was reasonably priced and arrived quickly.

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.

The product works like it is supposed to. Stable on an 80+ inch high sliding door. That being said, any panels of this kind will present installation challenges. Out of 3 we tried, including the one with the AC, this was the easiest, but dont expect any solution to be easy. It takes a few tries of tinkering to get it to work right. Would be nice to have more tape. It is enough for one side of our installation.

I understood that there were two size exhaust hose diameters, 5.1” and 5.9” I ordered, by mistake, and returned the 5.1” This one was the 5.9” which is what I thought was the right size but my exhaust hose didnt fit in the outlet connector. Not did the outlet connector already on my exhaust hose fit in the new panel’s hole. I had to modify the panel with the hole that I already had (by drilling a new hole for the connection hardware) so I could integrate my existing panel to fit with the new ones. It was an easy adjustment but I dont know why my hose didnt fit into the new parts. Could be user error but unless there is a 6” exhaust hose rather than the 5.9” it makes no sense. Otherwise product is great and works well. Measure carefully!

Does what its supposed to do.

take your time , it works well , this is the easiest way to vent air conditioner heat exhaust. I used a name brand tape to seal up with this kit, use the best tape that doesnt leave a sticky residue over time. So simple.

These slid right into place and worked really well for my window.
