Would a hose clamp around the plastic piece be a good idea?

Probably not. Where brakes are concerned why take a chance? The replacements work perfectly!

It should be fine. You would not want the heater part to touch the plastic, but otherwise it should be ok.

If there is I don't know about it. The ends are fused to the hose itself and would likely have to be cut from the hose thereby probably ruining the whole thing.

Wrap rubber electrical tape around the male part how ever many times it takes for the hose to fit. That's what we had to do, and it worked for us.

Depending on how big the hole is yes it should work just fine. Personally I would use JB Weld for plastic for that.

I would suggest some JB Weld. Also, you can't beat the strength of Gorilla Glue, but it expands, so you will want to clamp to prevent it splitting the plastic more.

I agree with the other 2 people. Use your own hose and duct tape. That is what I did also.If I were going to use this often, spring for the fitted hose.

Unlikely - you would be pushing the limits of the plastic clamps. This unit also burns through batteries in no time. I would keep shopping.

You would have to carefully drill those holes, but the plastic is definitely sturdy enough to do this. Good idea!!!

Get rid of the plastic stuff doesn't work. None of the plastic junk for these portables work. I find the best way to do this is to Have someone cut a piece of wood the length of your window and the height of the opening for the hose. Have them cut a circle in the wood so you can run the hose out the wood to the outside. Duct tape the hose to the wood so it doesn't pull out.

You would need to drill some holes in the plastic perimeter but you could make it work...Jeff

I would think you could remove that fitting and add a female threaded/sweat fitting. The internals are mostly plastic, so I would keep the heat away from that. That fitting works well....I used it with 3/4" PVC.

I use mine with rubber hoses so if that is not a problem for you by all means I would do it.

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

this is not comming with a hose, I did a connector and I installed flexible metallic hose, you can purchase on the hose special store, easy and cheap, be sure you get the hose to work unde vacuum.regardsvictor

Probably not. The yellow plastic hose breaks very easily so even if it can be, it is not a good option.

Definitely, this thing is great. Uses a bit of water so attaching a hose is your best bet. Go for it you won't be sorry.
