Installing a elbow on A/C condensation drain

[RVAH-13]

I read on a thread that someone installed a 3/4" 90 degree elbow on their a/c condensate drain. Should I also install a short length of tube to the elbow? Secondly, I get, what I call, a lot of water draining on the drive/garage floor, from the condensate drain. Is there a "normal" amount to expect?
Thanks

"Normal" depends on the humidity level as you're operating your Jeep. Here in Florida it can leave a lot on the ground. I was worried the first time I saw it, I thought I had a major leak.

I could see how water from the drain was leaking onto my frame before the ground and wanted to avoid that. I bought a long length of coolant-like hose with a 90° elbow off the small drain spout, routed it down below the frame rail, cut off the excess and zip-tied it in place on both ends.

Supposedly, Mopar part #56000724AB fits the 2001-2006 models. Its a short extension with downturn you can put on the drain. However I didn't want it draining that high up and went a different route.

I ran a hose from mine down to the side of the frame so it drains directly to the ground. You don’t really have to.

Mine drains lots of clear condensation on humid days. A/C on of course. The biggest thing is make sure it doesn’t smell, look or feel like antifreeze. Thats a sign that you have a heater core leak.

Thanks to both of you for replies. Looks like I have some "tinkering" to do. MountaineerTom, nothing smells, just clear water.

I did the same, just used what i had laying around. Not really needed like you said, but it helps keep the water off the frame.
