How to redirect AC split system drain hose?

huongtrinh

Dear Bunnings Community, 

I would like to find a way to redirect the current AC split system drain hose away from the outer brickwall. The water is currently dripping onto the gap between house and concrete path (currently filled with foam). Can I use a L-shape pipe of some sort attached to the end point of the hose to direct the condensation water away from the house? There's a concrete path around the brickwall with drainage to the SW system. 

Please refer to the attached photo for reference. Thank you in advance for all your suggestions!

Hello @huongtrinh 

I suggest measuring the width of the pipe or cutting a small section off that you can bring to the store to compare. For example, you will need a Holman 20mm White PVC Coupling to connect the pipes together. You will also need a Holman 20mm x 3m Class 12 PVC Pressure Pipes and a Holman 20mm 90° White PVC Elbow to extend the run and make the turn. Remember that these are just examples. It's important to get the right size of pipe and fittings in order to extend your drain pipe. My best advice is to test fit everything before using the Protek 125ml Type N Blue Cement Solvent.

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when working on your project.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
