Is this window slider compatible with other portable a/c units? I wondered if this piece is interchangeable with other two vent units because they look very similar but I didn't see size specifications. Lastly, how to the round holes come out of the...

its a 5" hole cut into the panel which would work for any 5" duct. I used an adapter from home depot to use a 6" duct.

WheelinDealin is correct. I have a casement window that is 15.25" in width and had to cut the lower metal section out to make the A/C fit into one of my rental homes. This effectively ruins that side of the window and it must remain locked in place.

The unit is too tall for a double hung window. The narrowest measurement is the width. It is a great unit. We cut a hole in the wall and installed it near the ceiling so it would vent the hot air in the room quickly. Most AC units do not vent inside air to the outside anymore. It will cool down our room which is 9 by 19 with a angled ceiling from 115 degrees to the 70's in about 10 minutes. Hope the info helps you.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.

The window panel that comes with the portable air conditioner can extend from 28'' to double size. If your sliding door is less than 56'' tall (very unlikely), then, it would work. Otherwise, you will have to find a larger window panel to block the open portion of the sliding door.

"&gt;&gt; ATTENTION!!! 3" or 4" PVC venting can only be used on condensing heaters (PVC adapter is built-in). - See more at: http://www.noritz.com/residential-products/nrc111dv/#sthash.QEx6SGiw.dpuf" http://www.noritz.com/residential-products/nrc111dv/ That's a quote from Noritz. Using common pvc for the vent makes the total cost HUNDREDS of dollars less than having to use stainless steel vent, or the proprietary venting of another brand. FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS! The Laws of Physics don't abate for the 'it ought to' crowd. PVC can ONLY be used on CONDENSING heaters. IT WILL MELT, OR WORSE, IF INSTALLED ON NON-CONDENSING HEATERS! Follow the instructions for the specific model you buy, no matter which one you choose.

Any window air conditioner can be installed in a casement window as long as the window opens up wide enough for it to fit. Specific "casement" type AC units are overpriced and usually have poor efficiency, so I really don't recommend them. I have the previous model and built a frame out of cheap 2x4 lumber to hold the AC in the window (filled the top opening with acrylic). Some of my neighbors just screwed the frame directly to their window track and filled the top gap with acrylic.

As for the dimensions I don't have those; however, the unit's fan does run continuously when it's in the heat mode, but cycles when in the AC mode. This makes no sense to me, but that's how it works. It's annoying as a heater because the element kicks in and warm air blows out, then the heater shuts off and cold air blows out. Stupid.

Yes, it is designed to fit. All RV's built as far back as i can remember have standardized the vent openings on the roofs of Trailers, Motorhomes, even pop up Campers. This way manufactures can produce vent covers, fans such as Fan-Tastic Vent. All roof mounted A/C units are designed to fit this opening. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Compactappliance.com has a sliding glass door kit. I bought an extra one from the site so I don't have to take it out if I want to move the ac to another room.

We are using this ac unit with our screens in with no issues. We use it in a couple different windows. This has been a great unit for us. As others have stated, make sure you have air flow.

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window. UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank-style window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others have fixed this problem.

YES - all portables air conditioners need to vent through a window. A vent kit comes with the unit so you can easily - very easily install the kit in most windows - sliders or the up/down windows. The hose I do not use. It is for the purpose of allowing continuous draining into a small pan. Instead I simply unscrew the drainage plug at the bottom of the unit to let any water (condensation) come out. After running the unit all night on about 68 degrees, the amount of water is about 1/4 of a cup. It's a great unit and I am well pleased with it.

Do you have a picture of the exhaust hose panel? I am trying to figure out if there is a way if the tube is tiny enough to leave part of the window slightly open or if it is too big and if so what alternatives exist?

The unit comes with a plastic piece that the hose fits into. Then the whole piece goes into the window opening, and the window closes on it. I tried one myself, but then I went to a window air conditioner.

Portable units generally use more power than window units so yes, your best bet to run it low if you are going to go with this one. I found window units to be much more cooling overall, though don't know the exact comparison in costs as I have lived in rental units that had a flat fee for a/c units in the summer regardless of the model.

this air conditioner is relatively lite at around 42 pounds, now! the one thing you absolutely will want to do is to make sure you support the top rail of the unit with 3 screws that screw into your window and also, make 100% sure that you secure the unit with the window locks provided with the unit, otherwise someone could slide the accordian flaps aside, and possibly remove your unit from your window. Rebecca, I'm pretty much blind except I can see a little light,and I pretty much had it installed in about 10/15 minutes. Just take your time, and read your instructions for the install, and you should be fine, also the unit doesn't stick out of the window that muchso you shouldn't need an extra support, however, if your window cill is in a newer home, there is that possibility that you may need a bracket to support it from the outside,, first though, see if the unit fits into the track of your window, and then, slide your window down over top of the unit and proceed to screw the top rail to the window that you just slid down. The first thing you will want to do as you unbox your unit is to assemble the top rail with the 4 screws provided to your air conditioner ok? I hope my info helped you in your decision, and, if I can be of any more assistance, by all means, please feel free to write me at: Raydeman@comcast.net. Thank you Rebecca, and I hope you have a good summer.
