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

I should have listened to the other reviews. The gasket fits (screws) securely onto the hose, that’s no problem, but it will not stay on the part that goes in the window. Part of the problem is the plastic parts that stick out and are supposed to function like like a latch are barely more than a bump and won’t catch. Another problem is the clearance for the window frame is not tall enough so the hose rests on it and bumped out of the slot.

Use the window seal it comes with for the slider gap and just order thicker weather seal to go over border of window kit.

No issues with this. Very pleased at its easy install.

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.

Easier than the original component.

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!!!!

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.

The black foam sealing tape seals the gap pretty well.

Seems to be good over all. I have my own insulation tape but woud have been nice to receive it.

The instructions make no sense. Setup is not set explanatory. I cant even use it because I have no idea how to set it up
