16 mm AC Drain Hose Leaking After Installation
Condensate Drain HoseEven a small tilt error may turn into a complaint of water leaking from the indoor unit. Confirming the 16 mm or 5/8" connection, laying the hose without crushing it and reinforcing the joint is the basis of the installation.

Are 16 mm and 5/8" the same measurement?
In the field, these expressions can be used together; However, the actual inner and outer diameter, indoor unit outlet and adapter size should be checked on the product.
Continuous downward slope
Since condensate moves by gravity, a continuous downward slope is required from the indoor unit to the outdoor outlet. Upturning or sagging can create water pockets and odor.
Extension and attachment connection
The extension piece must be of compatible diameter, the attachment must be held axially and the appropriate clamp or adapter must be used. Tape alone is not a permanent mechanical connection.
Causes of water leakage and odor
A blockage, insufficient slope, submersion of the outer tip, or loose additional water may flow. If the problem recurs, the pan, pump and outlet line are checked together.
Service roll selection
Selection of 25, 50 or 100 meter roll should be made according to the route, turns, outdoor environment and service share.
