Condensate hose Rittal SK for water cooling systems, transparent, 10 m

Rittal SK condensate hose for water cooling systems is a transparent, flexible drain line measuring 10 m in length. Designed for condensate removal and drainage in industrial and HVAC cooling equipment, the hose gives a clear visual of fluid flow to help monitor condensate accumulation. The transparent construction is compatible with typical condensate outlets and is commonly used in control cabinets, chillers and refrigeration units where reliable condensate transport and simple visual inspection are required.

Advantages

The transparent material allows visual verification of flow and detection of blockages or contamination without disassembly. With a 10 m length, the hose provides extended reach for routing condensate to suitable drain points away from equipment. Its flexibility supports easy installation in confined spaces and around obstacles while maintaining a secure connection to standard condensate outlets. The hose is designed for typical condensate applications found in cooling and refrigeration systems.

Suitable for

• Drainage of condensate from control cabinets and electrical enclosures
• Condensate removal in chillers and refrigeration units
• Routing condensate to remote drains in HVAC installations
• Temporary or permanent connections requiring visual flow monitoring

When it may not be suitable

This hose is intended for condensate and low-pressure drainage applications; it is not designed for pressurized fluid transfer or for use with aggressive chemicals unless the chemical compatibility of the hose material is verified. It may not be appropriate where rigid, high-temperature, or abrasion-resistant hoses are required.

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Color / visibility: transparent (enables visual flow monitoring)
• Application: condensate drainage for water cooling and HVAC systems
• Flexibility: flexible for routing in confined spaces
• Compatibility: designed to connect to standard condensate outlets

How to use

Measure the required routing distance and cut the hose to length if shorter runs are needed, ensuring a clean, square cut. Connect one end securely to the condensate outlet on the equipment and route the hose to a suitable drain or collection point, avoiding sharp bends or kinks that could impede flow. Secure the hose with clamps or ties where necessary to prevent disconnection. Periodically inspect the transparent hose for signs of blockage, sediment or discoloration and flush or replace it if necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the condensate outlet diameter and ensure the hose inner diameter matches or that suitable adapters are available
• Verify chemical compatibility if condensate may contain treatment agents or contaminants
• Assess routing distance and whether the 10 m length meets installation requirements
• Consider ambient temperature and mechanical stress in the installation area

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the hose with a continuous downward gradient toward the drain, avoid long horizontal runs that can trap liquid, and check the transparent tube regularly for discoloration or deposits to maintain unobstructed condensate flow.
