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 plastic? This sounds like a weird question but the two holes for venting are obvious in the picture but yet I just wondered if the "rounds" are just pushed out to make the hole for the tubing.

This window kit can only be used for Whynter A/C models ARC-14S and ARC-14SH.

I do not know if the window slider is compatible with other units as we purchased specifically for the Whynter AC unit. The round holes are plastic and built in. When the AC unit is not hooked up to the window slider there are plastic covers that cover the openings (holes). The tubing goes directly into openings (holes) when the AC unit is in use. Hope this helps!

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.

We did the exact same thing as the previous costumer stated, we used the hoses that came with the AC unit and moved it back and forth from a living room to a bedroom. The AC unit works great, takes out humidity and provides good AC. It was convenient to have the window kit set up in both rooms all the time.

Hi Jennifer - I think this is a great accessory. I received mine about a month ago and it worked perfectly with my portable air conditioner. My air conditioner has two openings, an intake (sucks in the air) and an outtake ( blows out the hot air). I've only connected the one hose to the outtake opening. Have not experienced any issues. I live in a 1,200 sq ft condo loft, all open space. Get rid of the loft area and it's about 900 sq ft. My 14,000 BTU Delonghi portable air conditioner I purchased thru Costco keeps the entire condo cool. All-in-all, this accessory works perfectly; however, make sure you have the appropriate BTUs to keep the area cool. Hi Jennifer - I think this is a great accessory.

I used it to replace a ceiling outlet of the same size and simply used the old screws to attach the new unit. It has screw hole locations that you simply finish drilling out. I hard wired my unit into the heat pump, A/C system so it comes on when the air handler comes on. Works fine.

Tripp Lite and pretty much all of the portable air conditioner vendors try to hide the fact that hot air ducting to the outside of the room is required. I am not seeing any pictures or mention of it in Tripp Lite's advertising. I think it is dishonest.

This can be confusing. The unit replaces the Ventline cover used for many years. The only way to tell is if the cover on your vent has an outside hinge that is like a small track for the cover to slide into. The ventline has an inside track that allows the riser to slide inside the cover. Inside, the unit decorative plastic piece has to be removed to allow the slide/riser to disconnect from th cover. The cover then can be removed by bending one of the two tabs on the track and sliding the cover out. Reverse for reassembly.

This comes with a sleeve. It can be mounted in a window OR through-wall. Not many units are like that. The sleeve is therefore kind of unique to this unit and almost certainly must be used. You may have to modify your wall opening, if that is what you are replacing. If it is going into a regular window, you should be able to easily remove the old unit and replace it with this one, but you will have to figure out how to seal it up (per the instructions).

Hello Mr. Rivas, Thanks for contacting us and for your interest in our parts. This A/C Heater Blower Motor/Fan is OEM part number: 1L5Z18456CA. If you hover over the 2nd photo to the right, you will see an actual photo of the plug. If you scroll down the display photos there are 4 other photos of the item including the plug. Per our store policy, "All fitment for our parts are based on U.S. market specifications. While many are identical to other countries, we cannot guarantee fitment for regions beyond the U.S. market unless if otherwise specified." There can be regional differences regarding these parts because, we had a customer with a foreign model buy one of our A/C blower motor/fans and it did not fit because the plug was different and the blades were in the opposite direction than his original. That is the most common regional difference. There are other regional differences regarding all parts, especially if the same make and model were offered throughout different countries. Also, if A/C was not factory installed on your vehicle, you must have it dealer installed, because we only carry aftermarket replacement parts to replace the parts that were already factory installed. Please make sure you confirm fitment with any seller you contact because most do not refund postage costs and charge 10%-20% restocking fee on all returned packages. Your inquiry is greatly appreciated. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us again, thank you.

I have the longer size item but the width was accurate for the floor opening, specifically 4 inches with the flange close to six. But beware the "Non metallic damper controls airflow" feature. In the open position this plastic device blocked more than fifty percent of the airflow available from the vent. It was so objectionable in my situation that I went to the trouble of cutting and breaking it away. Even the diecut of the surface plate blocks about 20 to 30 percent of the flow. If I now need to block the flow, my only choice is to lift the grate from the floor and wrap a piece of tinfoil around the bottom opening. If you need true variable flow, beware of this design.

My unit was traded in for a 10 liter. The 'Ameri-vent' brand piping (double lined) started as 4" from the unit and increased to 5" with an adapter because I already had a 5" furnace pipe to tee into. I got a 90 degree elbow fitting near the unit and tied in with a 5" tee. Then through the roof. You may be able to 90 it through the wall then up but your local codes are important to follow. The exhaust on these is very hot so the roof/wall should have a sleeve made for this pipe to go through. Use special tape to wrap the fittings even though you should use screws to hold them.

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?

I suggest going to a place that specializes in Plexiglass and have a piece of that cut to fit the difference between where the window kit ends and the top of the slider. Go for a bit thicker than thinner so it doesn't bend easily, plus it will look nicer during the daylight hours than a solid item like wood... We have a Tap Plastics out here in Northern California - Good luck!

Hi Stella, Mike here. The unit is made for traditional windows, which slide up and down. Technically, they have vertical slides, so putting it in such a window should be pretty straightforward. When mounted in such a window there are usually gaps to either side that the a/c comes equipped to cover, usually with slide-out panels. However, if you mean that the opening the window makes is vertical, in which case it actually slides horizontally, the installation could still work but might require some adaptations. If you want the window open as little as possible, I suppose you could put the unit in vertically; I'm not aware of anything inherent to the unit itself that would make it unsuitable for vertical mounting. My recollection aside, a careful read of the installation instructions is definitely called for. In a window that slides horizontally, and makes a vertical opening, you might have to provide some support for the unit on the outside because it wouldn't have the window coming down on the top to hold it in place. The friction from the window and frame might be sufficient, but I kinda doubt it. By "some support" I'm thinking of something like an exterior shelf attached to wall studs, or perhaps some large "L" shaped brackets by themselves. With a vertical opening you'll also need to plug the big hole above the unit. Heavy cardboard, fiberboard, or a really heavy duty plastic trash bag, plus some duct tape could do for that, as long as the unit is otherwise mounted securely. If you want to get fancier, and sturdier/more permanent to boot, a sheet of 1/4" exterior-rated plywood, trimmed with a self-adhesive foam gasket, and possibly held in place by some brackets screwed on to the panel, could work as well. I hope I've understood your question correctly. If not, I'd be glad to try again with some clarification from you about the configuration of the window.

"&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.

I just finished installing this and I can tell you that it "does" come with the air valve and gauge on the top of the filter. I don't know why they confuse the description with "without valve". It comes just as the picture shows and since there isn't a backwash valve in the pic, why would one think that it does? Idk, why does McDs have to put "caution, contents may be hot" on the side of a coffee cup? What the picture does show, are the PVC unions on the outside and it does not come this way. The backwash valve would have these parts and screws onto the male parts that are included on the filter.

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.

Don't know if you still need an answer, but yes, you can turn the vent on end and use it in horizontal windows as well. There's a flat panel with a hole in it for the hose to go out. Depending on the height of your windows, you might need something to block any open space - the panel isn't huge, built more for regular vertical windows. I've used it in a regular window with the screen in place, no problem (although you'll want to wash the screen when you remove the unit for the year - it gets a little fuzzy circle where the air blows out. I've had this unit for a year and LOVE it, great for a room or two, or a small apartment. Doesn't raise my electric bill through the roof either.
