Portable AC's are noisy. I wanted to reduce the noise at night to help me sleep. I decided to run the portable AC from outside my bedroom and from another room and use fans to direct the air into my bedroom. This required extending the exhaust hose. So I extended the exhaust hose by attaching another hose and I made my own coupler because there weren't any on the market at the time I made this video.
***UPDATE 1 - At the time I made the video, couplers were not available, but there are now couplers available to buy, see links below.
***UPDATE 2 - When using hose clamps, tighten with socket wrench to get the tightest fit.
***UPDATE 3 - Cheapest option - you can replace the plastic hose with a 6inch by 25ft insulated hose from Home Depot and use clamps to clamp it to the window adapter on one end and the adapter on the AC at the other end.
