can this be used in a through the wall set up ?

I have it in my window but I suppose so, if the hole in wall is big enough.

I don't know. It comes with window mounting brackets and I think is made for that.

NO unless specifically designed for through the wall installation it is NOT. Air conditioners have exterior vents on the side panels of unit for cooling the condenser coil . If they are blocked in a sleeve or through the wall installation the unit will not work correctly. Through the wall units have NO exterior side vents and all cooling of condenser coil is done through just the rear of vent of the unit.

I do not know of any reason this unit could not be installed in wall. Would not have to attach side panels. Just cut space to fit unit. Hope this helps

Yes sir, it can!!! We actually own two of these. We use one of ours "through the wall" in our front room, and our second one we use "through the window" in our bedroom. They are both fantastic, and extremely reliable!!! I hope this helps.

It is not designed for that. It is designed to install in a barrier up to 2 inches thick and most walls are 4 1/2 inches thick minimum, so you'd have to do some custom work to make it work, as Guidera48 describes.

Yes. It can. You need to check with your handyman. My husband is a carpenter and installed it in about an hour in our wall that was about 6 inches thick. He added some plastic in the pass through areas.

Yes it can be vented thru the wall. This unit is very loud, much louder than I thought and I would not use it again for a house bathroom.

I'm not sure. I haven't done it but in theory it should work. I do know the signal can't go through several walls.

Yes, it can work through a few walls. Right now, I have it set up on a desk top computer which is located two complete room over about 60 feet apart. 100% connection strength.

Hi,I am sorry to say, but this unit cannot penetrate through walls. this will make you, or anyone who is in the apt very sick.

Yes...it will not work through walls. Anything will impede that range such as being in a pocketbook, in a drawer, etc.

I use my existing in wall wire setup. Wires provided are not graded for in wall use, FYI.

The material is really thin, but is plastic. So I think you can use it but if you use a wall behind.

Yes. It is 'thru the wall' and uses a steel sleeve which is unvented on the sides, top and bottom.

Have not used my unit that way. But if unit made for one structure I doubt if signal can penetrate one exterior wall to enter the wall of another house. That just my opinion.

Should be able to. I would but a 2x4 behind it to keep it from pushing to far into the wall since it is made for a 2x4 wall.

Absolutely, I've installed 2 of them through wallboard (on the inside) out through a stucco exterior wall. The unit comes with a sleeve which is installed through the wall. The AC unit slides into the sleeve. You will have to be willing and able to make the cut through the wall. There are instructions that come with the unit.

No, it can't. If you want to extend (or possibly go through a wall), then you'll need to purchase something like an extender (http://www.solidsignal.com/cview.asp?mc=00&m;=Next%20Generation%20Home%20Products&b=Products) from Signal. When doing something like you want/need, you sometimes have to experiment. You can copy & past the link I provide into the address bar of your browser OR, just search on Google etc. for a remote extender. Good luck and I know you'll work this out.

Yes you can, but the more walls or ceilings you go through, the weaker the signal. I think unless your house is three stories tall, that you should be fine.
