1966-70 Evaporator Case Drain Hose
Josh's Muscle Car Parts reproduction of original evaporator case drain hose that attaches to the bottom portion of the evaporator core outlet case on all 1967-70 Camaro models originally equipped with air conditioning. Original drain hoses are commonly damaged or missing.
The evaporator case drain hose in the context of a 1966-1970 vehicle is a component related to the air conditioning system. Here are some details about the evaporator case drain hose:
Evaporator Case:
- The evaporator case is a component within the air conditioning system of a vehicle.
- It typically houses the evaporator, which is responsible for cooling and dehumidifying the air before it enters the cabin.
Drain Hose:
- The evaporator case drain hose is a tube or hose that is connected to the evaporator case.
- Its primary function is to channel condensed water or moisture that forms on the evaporator coils away from the air conditioning system.
Purpose:
- As the air passes over the evaporator coils, moisture in the air condenses on the cold surface of the evaporator.
- The drain hose ensures that the resulting water is directed away from the system, preventing it from accumulating inside the case and causing potential issues such as mold growth or damage.
Location:
- The drain hose is typically routed to allow water to exit the vehicle, often through a designated drain point underneath the vehicle.
- Proper routing is important to prevent water from entering the passenger compartment or causing damage to other components.
Maintenance and Replacement:
- Over time, drain hoses can become clogged with debris, preventing proper drainage. Regular maintenance may involve checking and clearing the drain hose to ensure proper functionality.
- If the hose becomes damaged or develops leaks, replacement may be necessary to prevent water-related issues within the air conditioning system.
