    Diameter of D2 aircon drains

    I recall last week there was a post about the aircon drains in which someone said they would check and advise.
    Seeing my XYZ switch and unis currently seem OK I would like to buy some tube and stick it on the drains.
    I could see that it was more than 13MM but I didn't have my Dork torch on so couldn't see just how big. 22MM?
    Regards Philip A

    Push the tube up inside the drain after removing the one way valve in the end (if still fitted)
    13mm tubing should be fine

    Yes I recall that post. He did respond that he used 13mm clear plastic pipe from Clark Rubber. I'm tempted to give 1/2" retic pipe a try first as there is a surplus lying around at home.

    PS found the post

    8mm(5/16) oil hose is the perfect fit. I had the hole fitting unplugged months ago. Smear some silicone around the end before inserting to get a good seal and to lubricate on entry.
