nzarano Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Does anyone know where to attach the drain hose to a vintage air gen 2 mini? been looking around and cant seem to find where it attaches :/, thinking its probably a good idea i find where it goes before starting the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It is located on the back side, toward the bottom, approximately center left to right. Its a right angle barb fitting. It should have come with a short length of hose to put on it. I have one in the box at home, I can take a pic for you this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzarano Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 a picture of where to connect to it on the evaporator would be great! its in a tough spot so spending alot of time looking around is a pain... it did come with the hose but no clear instructions on really where to connect it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzarano Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 hey could you get that picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hey man, my apologies. I ended up having to send that evaporator back (it was the wrong unit). I should have it back next week. Here is an image I found on google, I added an arrow to the drain location. If you take a pic of the bottom of yours I can point it out.

nzarano Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 hmmmm is that the gen 2 mini? I think my unit looks a bit different but its been a couple weeks since ive seen the unit. would have never found that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Here is a better photo. In the box there should be a short length of nylon tubing that pushes on the barb fitting, this then has to be routed outside the car, and has to be sloped downward (gravity drain). I am waiting for my replacement to come to figure out exactly where I will route it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzarano Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 yikes i think the person that mounted the evaporator in the car might not have considered that there was a drain and it might be sitting on it....grrrrr thank you for the pics! theyve been super helpful!

Just keep a wet vac in the trunk and suck your carpets dry every couple of days. I drilled a hole in the tunnel and ran the hose through there with about 1" sticking out under the car. Just make sure the hose always runs downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I have a gen 2 compac and ran the drain hose through the original drain hole on a 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
