Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018

I have a very large window unit, 28,000 BTU. During the summer this thing can produce 25 gallons of water per week. That was making my yard muddy, which attracts critters, and splashing the house, which grows algae.I got some sprinkler tubing from Lowe's and directed the flow away from the house. Works perfectly.Update 7-7-2019:Every once in a while it gets clogged. I can tell because water will be dripping from the corner of the unit. I just take the tubing off the elbow, get a 2 foot piece of wire and shove it through the tubing. Clears it right up.Update 8-10-2021Clogs too much. Getting more and more difficult to keep clean. Threw it out.

The part fits well enough, but the seal doesn’t seat very well and the plastic mount tabs aren’t really strong enough to add sufficient pressure to the seal to make it seat well. Add in the rigidity of the proper sized drain tube and the force will cause the drain seal to move and leak. I had to use a smaller diameter tube in the drain and make it work!

I have been living with a dipping window air-conditioner onto my cement porch for a long, long time. I finally decided I was going to make a pipe to fit the water drain and lo-and-behold there already is one.

Fitted perfectly and with some tubing the water is now dripping next to the foundation (actually good for the foundation if it is clay soil). I used some plastic ramp covers to protect the hose and make it presentable. System is in place and working perfectly for weeks now.

This drain does the trick - but it took some messing around first. The drain fit into the air condition with no issues. It was needed for an installation where the air condition was more or less in the house (enclosed, through the wall installation, but the rear of the air condition sat flush with the wall due to design of apartment). The issue occured when the drain tubing (not included) was attached to the drain. It weighed the drain to one side, and caused the seal to be broken enough for water to drip out of the seal. This was fixed by fashioning a support system to prop the hose up, allowing the drain to reseal. I had contemplated getting another one for my window unit, but I haven't figured out how I would support the drain plug yet.

This worked perfectly on my Frigidaire AC! FRA103BT1 / KK2900306. I had first purchased another “universal” adapter that listed Frigidaire as compatible and it did not seal properly and leaked out of the joint. This one is amazing. Pic attached of what I purchased from HD to complete it. They didn’t have a long enough tube in stock, so I needed to splice two together.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 8, 2016

I needed to install a small AC in a storeroom/workshop area adjacent to my home attached garage. I cut and framed a hole in the wall, and let the hot end of the AC just dump into my already unbearably hot Florida garage, and let the cool end blow into the area I was going to occupy for projects. This area already had a sink in it. My AC window unit was not a Frigidaire, so I carefully did a little disassembly, drilled a hole towards the front of the base taking care not to harm any of the AC innards, filed the hole until it was the right diameter, and finally filed notches on either side of the hole such that I could insert the ear tabs, rotate the thing 90 degrees to point it towards the sink and attached a vinyl hose. Worked for me!

It's a good little tool but can't find hose to connect in this size .I would recommend this

The item is exactly what it says. If you get one for the wrong model be sure to check the hole is not blocked by a window sill or you won’t be able to put it on. I’m keeping mine in case I get a model I can use it with in the future. I knew I ordered for the wrong model so I’m not complaining, I’m sure it would work fine with the right one.

Listed on Amazon and on the packaging (plastic bag) as "Frigidaire 5304481680". Paper insert included says "Part # EA150D", designed to connect to "air conditioners whose serial number starts with KK".

Works just fine with a Frigidaire Gallery 10,000 BTU unit (model FGRC1044T1, serial number starting with KK).

Does not come with a hose. Instructions say to use a 1/2" inner diameter hose and hose clamp, easy to find and cheap enough at local hardware store.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 23, 2020

I ordered, paid and waited... opened the sealed bubble envelope, I opened the sealed outer plastic package, I opened the sealed plastic inner bag, which contained both the connector and instruction sheet. Only on that sheet did it say only for Frigidaire window air conditioners (yes, I have that) with serial numbers that begin with "KK." Oops, mine begins with "HK." If this Amazon page had told me this I would not have spent my time AND MONEY.

I installed it on my Comfort Air 15,000 BTW window AC and it was a perfect fit. Great accessory which is necessary. Don't know why this doesn't come with most of the AC but anyways, AC drains water properly now.

Where is the drain hole on a Frigidaire window air conditioner?

On most window air conditioners, you will find the drainage hole underneath the exterior part that hangs out of the window. You will have to go outside to access it. If you can't access your window unit from outside, you will have to remove your AC from the window.

Do window air conditioners have a drain hole?

Most modern window air conditioners create condensation which drips down to the pan on the bottom of the unit. There are no drain holes or plugs used to remove the water as was the case with older style window AC units. When the water builds up it is distributed by the fan sling and thrown up against the condenser.

Do I need to drain my Frigidaire air conditioner?

A: All Frigidaire Portable Air Conditioners are evaporative which means the condensated water that is generated will evaporate off - no emptying or draining required.

Should I remove the drain plug from my window air conditioner?

Ideally, you should not remove the drain plug from a window air conditioner. The plug is intended to be removed only for draining water to prepare the unit for storage, typically done by a technician. It can also be used as a method to channel water away from the unit.
