3D model description

These two parts allow you to DIY home AC annual maintenance: clean out condensation line.

**If you purchase this and it does not fit, DM and I'll model a size that will fit your vac/pipe if you send exact measurements.

The "Shopvac reducer" will attach snug to a standard shopvac (2-1/2" hose). The "PVC adapter" will fit inside a standard home AC condensation drain pipe which will most likely be a 1" elbow fitting. (see picture)

You will need to purchase a short length of 1" flexible clear hose from hardware store. Actual outside diameter needs to be 0.8 inches.
It's absolutely possible (and easy) to build your own tube and print it. The clear tube is best as it allows you to see water and debris flow.

*** I was going to buy one but they were $25 on Amazon... what a rip off. So I just bought a short length of plastic hose from Ace Hardware for pennies.. and built my own. I'm posting this in hopes others will find it useful.

3D printing settings

PVC_adapter will need supports. Other than that... settings are up to you.
