Marketair Adds New Time-Saving
Condensate Drain Line Adaptor to
DrainMate Product Line
Marketair Inc., an Edison, N.J.-based supplier of specialized
and innovative installation components for the North
American HVACR market, has added the time-saving DMB-
34 adaptor fitting to its DrainMate line of condensate drain
hose connection fittings for ductless mini-split (DMS) wallmount
evaporators.
The DrainMate DMB-34 is a blue flexible plastic adaptor
fitting for quickly and easily creating a tight, reliable connection
from a DMS wall-mount evaporator’s 5/8-inch (16-mm)
condensate drain hose to a 3/4-inch (20-mm) Schedule-40
PVC drain pipe commonly used in many applications.
The DMB-34 is fabricated from a special grip-enhancing,
non-slip material. The 5/8-inch female end accepts any of the
standard plain or ribbed plastic nipples commonly supplied
by most ductless manufacturers for fitting to the end of the
drain hose.
The 3/4-inch female end slides directly onto any standard
PVC pipe to ensure a reliable and easy connection secured by
clamps or cable ties.
The DMB-34 completes the color-coded, easy-to-install Drain-
Mate product line, which can accommodate any possible
DMSS drain line connection challenge.
Other DrainMate models include:
• DMY-58, a yellow 5/8-inch adaptor to connect the drain
hose from the evaporator to a plain or flexible 5/8-inch
hose, or to a 1/2-inch (12.7-mm) PVC pipe;
• DMG-1, a green adaptor for use when the 5/8-inch drain
hose needs to be shortened requiring removal of the
plastic nipple and then secured to a 3/4-inch PVC pipe.
“Inventorying a small assortment of DrainMate adaptors
on a service truck pays for itself because it eliminates a trip
to the plumbing or HVAC wholesaler to jury-rig fittings not
designed for the task,” said Gerry Spanger, president, Marketair.
DrainMate DMB-34 is available in cartons of 20-pieces at
many participating North American HVAC/R wholesale
distributors or direct from Marketair. For more information

Marketair’s new DrainMate adaptor expedites connecting ductless mini-split
system wall-mount evaporator drain hose directly to 3/4-inch PVC.
