DSH-UP - AC Drain Hose
Reliable connections and leaks in condensation drain piping has always been a concern in HVAC. Traditional methods are time-consuming and risky.
For VRF and Mini-Split cassettes and ducted units, the DSH-UP drain hose kit can be used with Unitary drain systems as well. DSH-UP eliminates the need for multiple PVC connections that need to be cut and glued. The DSH-UP features a flexible insulated drain hose kit with pre-connected hose fittings that quickly connect to air-standard condensation PVC drain lines with just a stainless-steel hose clamp included in the kit. The flexibility reduces installation time, money and allows for easier maintenance.
Features
TIME SAVING
The flexible fittings using stainless steel hose clamps reduce installation time with no need for glue, cleaner or extra PVC fittings.
DRAIN LEAK MITIGATION
The hose is pre-connected with flexible fittings which replaces multiple adhesive connections and reduces the risk of condensation leakage.
HEAT RESISTANT
The pre-insulated hose eliminates the need for insulation to be applied on-site which reduces the risk of condensation after installation.
TRANSPARENT AIR CONDITIONER FITTINGS
The clear, flexible fittings allow for an easy check of proper flow and connection to the PVC drain.

Are there any proven cases of installation?
A. Yes — DSH-UP has over 600,000 units installed globally, with adoption growing in North America.
Can I use DSH-UP for equipment besides air-conditioning units?
A. No. DSH-UP is specifically designed for condensate drainage in indoor air-conditioning units and should not be used for other applications.
Can DSH-UP be used outdoors?
A. No. It does not include UV protection and is intended for indoor use only.
Can I use adhesive instead of a metal band to connect DSH-UP to a PVC pipe?
A. No. Adhesives are not compatible with this product. Always use the stainless steel hose clamps provided for secure connections.
Are DSH-UP parts available separately?
A. No. All necessary parts are included in the kit. Additional parts require purchasing another full kit.
What should I do about condensation around the product?
A. If condensation occurs, wrap additional insulation around the hose and fittings as needed to prevent moisture buildup.
