Abstract: An inexpensive, compact, conveniently installed drain tap for disposing of water from a condensate hose. The drain tap channels condensate water from a hose to a drain having at least one drain hole. The tap includes a base forming a hollow channel. The base has a spillway at one end of the channel, in fluid communication therewith. A peg extends downward from the base, including at least one hole barb adapted for retractable insertion into the drain hole. A hose connector is formed on the base, adapted for engagement with one end of the hose. The hose connector is in fluid communication with the base channel, so that when the peg is inserted into the drain hole and one end of the hose is engaged with the hose connector, water may flow through the hose, into the base channel and exit from the spillway onto the drain. In preferred embodiments, the hose connector includes at least one hose barb for gripping engagement of the hose.
