I have a very narrow window at just under 17 inches wide. Will this unit fit in the window even with the install kit? Can I take side panels off?

The unit itself measures 16" wide without the side panels. I guess you would have to skip the install kit since you have barely 1/2" on each side. Perhaps you can put some type of insulation to fill the gap.

The basic unit is 16" wide. With the side panels, it expands to 23" wide. The side panels arrive off the air conditioner in the box and you install a top guide and the two side panels which slide into the guide as part of the installation process. Though you wouldn't have the side panels to support the two sides of the unit, you could install the top guide by itself and that will probably be enough to hold the unit in place in the window. You could then stuff foam between the air conditioner and the sides of the window casings to make a fairly weatherproof seal. If this is your best option, it could certainly work!

it will fit since the unit is 16in. The kit, meaning the side extensions, of course, go wider and will be on the inside of the window. You can leave that off but not sure why you'd want to.

Presently my unit is in my basement storage area tucked away for the winter. This may be a tight fit. This side vents slip into a sleeve on each side side and then extend out. The dimensions from the Amazon site state:15.8 x 16.2 x 12.5 inches. Possibly correct, but Amazon at times screws up on their data. And Amazon often will not know any more than their ad unfortunately. If this is the exact measurement(I would look it up from other dealers on the web) then it may just fit as this is a AC for a small room. Good luck.

This is first air conditioner that I have ever bought and if you want to take side panels off - I would suggest that you contact the manufacturer as the window I used air conditioner in fit fine but then I have enough space to do so!

yes the unit is only 16 inches when I measured it and yes the side panels can come off.

i'd say it fit your window. there are two panels on the side that have a "spring" mechanism. however wide your window is, you just pull the wings out and lock them in.

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 window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others solved this problem.

You have to measure your window but considering most bay windows are very wide I'd say no it won't fit.

I don't think you could use this unit with casement windows. There are accordion-type adjustable panels on the sides, but not at the top. Depending on the height of your windows, I thought of the same solution as Mr. Apperson, but it means you won't be able to close the windows. Maybe you can contact the manufacturer for units appropriate for your situation. Good luck, Sam.

I feel this item is not really designed for window installation, not that it isn't duerable but the size will require a special frame of wood to make it fit. Good luck

While I don't remember exactly how wide it is, it certainly wouldn't be wide enough to fit a 4' wide window. You'll need to cut some wood down to fill in the sides.

The unit dimensions are: 23.63"W x 25.5"D x 17.19"H This unit is ideal for window that are between 26.5"W and 40.5"W The minimum window height is 18.5"W

The manual says it will fit in a window as small as 22 inches wide and 13 inches high. My window is 23 inches wide and with both guide panels installed it just fit.

my window opening is exactly 22" wide. If the wings are in the way can they be removed?

I don't think so, the expandable width panels are not strong, only meant to cover space left in window. Not study unless you built a frame for support, even then they might not stay extended. Hope this helps

It is about 18" high so if your window slides up and down it will fit. The sides slide in and out to adjust the side width. If the width of the window is 22 or 23" the sides will slide out to fit the window.

with out measuring it about 2 inches wide works great i beat on this as long as the window is clean and not too hot or cold you should be fine

It does have slide out sides to fit the window. They also accordion from the unit in case you have a smaller window.

We moved and sold the unit, so I can't look at it and tell you a minimum, however I can tell you that our window was too small but the window kit was easily resized with hacksaw. It's a hardish plastic so easily sawed through.

The unit will only go in from the side as the width between the front supports measures 17.50 inches, other wise it will stick out from the front.

The AC is 19 1/4" wide (without the side sliders) and (about) 16" high. The window would have to open higher than 17" to slide it in and be enough room for the width (19") but with the window only being 19" wide it would be a very tough fit. The AC is heavy (around 68#) and bulky so have someone very strong to get it in a small window. Hope this helps.
