do i need the exhaust hose?

You need the exhaust hose for the heating and cooling modes. If you are using it as a fan or as a dehumidifier you do not need the exhaust hose.

Unless you are prepared to empty the drain nearly every day, you will need the water exhaust hose to be piped out- this can be done through a simple pvc pipe through the house wall or floor. I live in an area with 90% humidity nearly all the time, your emptying needs may be different than my own. You definitely need the ventilation exhaust hose, it simply goes out the window. It's a great machine and I couldn't be happier with this brand & model- tried several others previously. This one has the best customer service and shipping- other brands didn't package the product well and they were damaged.

You definitely need the exhaust hose. The air conditioner is a heat pump and you need to pump the hot air outside. Try it and, once it's running, put your hand at the exhaust port. You'll see why you need the hose. It's a really good unit.

This Model is a piece of crap. I am sorry I bought it. It needs much more thar an exhaust hose to make it heat and cool properly.

The package contains one hose, which is all I needed for the exhaust of one portable air conditioner. The other hose on the air conditioner is a small one for water condensation.

it does not come with hose.B e sure to use the updated hoses on upper engine and lower radiator, they can be identified by the white fitting on one end with 2 O-rings.Also double check bolt length when installing there was some talk of the supplied bolts being to long and poking holes in rad, out of the box a very impressive looking rad

No, but if you wait a few minutes, the exhaust is cool, then cover exhaust. Or, if you mean physical damage, no, but tough nylon. Have mine for 9 month now..no issues

No hose is needed. I've used mine many times, aiming it so the water shoots out the top hole back into the ocean.

Of course you can attach PVC to it. Thats how Ive always done it, or the flex hose too. Its just common 2" threaded PVC piece you find at any home depot. Its a slip on the other side so you can glue in a 2" pipe and go from there. Both the intake and the exhaust are the same finer thread.

You need the vent system. I used the following: "Rinnai 223176PP 12-Inch Condensing Horizontal Termination Kit" and "Rinnai 224079PP Condensing Vent Pipe Extension, 19.5-Inch" The black part of the "Termination Kit" goes outside and the elbow connects to the extension. The water valves and relief valves are included with the heater. That is it. The rest of stuff you need you can get from the hardware store.

It is recommended that you re-jet. I would not recommend this exhaust because it is too loud. It will boost your power and bust your eyedrums. Tech assistance is non-existent. Pay a little more for something better.

Both intake\exhaust are on the right side. It comes with a utility port you can insert in the line to directly connect a vacuum hose (which I use to vacuum garage dustbunnies & the cars).

No the hose outside, you can replace it with regular vaccum hose if the oem hose fail

You will need a place to exhaust the air that is used to cool the compressor. Oh, and this is IMPORTANT!!!!! When I got the unit set up and running in the bedroom I found that the unit was fighting itself on cooling because the exhaust hose used to cool the compressor etc. was hotter than heck. I talked to the Sylvane people and they said that was normal. What???? So, I have an AC working at the top and a room heater working in the back thru the exhaust hose, pretty much greatly reducing the cooling efficiency. I ended up buying a roll of 1/4 inch thick air cell insulation with the silver mylar face, front and back, and using ac/heating duct aluminum duct tape and wrapping strips around the exhaust hose triple thickness until I couldn't feel any difference between room temperature and the surface of the hose. I would think they would provide an insulated exhaust hose.

The Exhaust hose is 5" Diameter. The Intake hose is 4" Diameter. They are both about 4 feet long.

Assuming your tail pipe on both ends of the exhaust flex tube properly fit, either insert Into the flex pipe or the flex pipe can be inserted Into the tailpipe, clamps should be all you need. As my previous exhaust pipe had rusted through at the ubolts, I went with the stainless sleeve type clamps. My flex pipe inserted into the exhaust on one end and received the exhaust as an insert at the other end, due to a flare in the exhaust on the header end. Either way it worked beautifully, no exhaust gases and no noise from the patch. I also used exhaust paste to ensure a good seal.

No, it has a single exhaust. There is a seperate intake filter for the exhaust air located next to the hose connection. You could probably contrive a second supply air hose to that opening, but it is not provided for in the design of the unit. There is a second intake filter for the cooling air that takes in room air for cooling.

yes. The window kit is necessary and is provided. Includes a tiny water exhaust line, but some drainage from a bottom outlet is still required occasionally. . . i.e. it does not seem to exhaust all condensation through the tiny condensation exhaust hose so some manual draining is necessary.

Yes! You'll need the service valves, venting pipe, condensation line, probably a 3/4" gas line and make sure you have an outlet nearby

Should be included in package. The long hose slides onto back of unit and the exhaust snaps into white plastic window attachment. If you do not have the hose or window attachment, it time for a return. Good luck.
