Available installation range of the side gasket A

Rail thickness (ⓐ) : 10mm(0.4in) ~ 18mm(0.7in)
Rail height (ⓑ) : 15mm(0.6in) or more

If the thickness is less than 10mm(0.4in), the gasket may slide down during installation.
If the thickness is 18mm(0.7in) or more, the gasket cannot be assembled.

Rail thickness (ⓐ): 10mm(0.4in) ~ 18mm(0.7in) / Rail height (ⓑ): 15mm(0.6in) or more

Available installation range of the side gasket B

Window gap thickness (ⓐ) : 10mm(0.4in) ~ 20mm(0.8in)
Window gap depth (ⓑ) : 18mm(0.7in) or more

If the thickness is 20mm(0.8in) or more, the gasket may slide down during installation.
If the thickness is less than 10mm(0.4in), the gasket cannot be assembled.

Window gap thickness (ⓐ): 10mm(0.4in) ~ 20mm(0.8in)/ Window gap depth (ⓑ): 18mm(0.7in) or more

Available installation range of the window holder

Rail thickness (ⓐ) : 10mm(0.4in) ~ 18mm(0.7in)
Rail height (ⓑ) : 15mm(0.6in) or more

If the thickness is less than 10mm(0.4in), the window holder may be loose when connecting it.
If the thickness is 18mm(0.7in) or more, there is a possibility of damage to the window holder.

Examples of window tracks where portable air conditioners cannot be installed

Window, sliding window, traditional window, wooden window frame, spherical aluminum window, casement window

➔ Reasons for non installation

ⓐ It cannot be combined with the side gasket.

ⓑ It cannot be combined with the window holder.


Old-style aluminum window track

ⓐ Side gasket A cannot be installed - the mounting bracket cannot be fixed

ⓑ Rail thickness does not meet the standard (it cannot be combined with the holder) - the mounting bracket cannot be fixed

Wooden window track

ⓐ Side gasket A cannot be installed - Rail thickness does not meet the standard

ⓑ There is no space to combine the window track - the mounting bracket cannot be fixed

Spherical aluminum window frame ⓐⓑ, wooden window frame ⓐⓑ
Is installation not possible if the height of the window track is less than 90cm(35in)?
If the height of the window track requiring installation is less than 90cm(35in), if necessary, the installation plate can be modified and used as follows. (Required tools: tape measure, saw, drill)
* Caution: It is not recommended because it is impossible to restore the original state when the installation kit is cut, and installation using an extension installation plate is not possible.

Basic installation plate (90cm) (35in)

1. Cut as required (cut as required from the top)
Required tools: tape measure, saw
2. Make a 15.3mm(0.6in) wide and 28mm(1.1in) long groove (distance: 74.35mm(2.9in))
Required tools: tape measure, saw
3. Drill a hole (3mm(0.1in) in diameter)
Required tool: drill
1. Cutting 2. Making grooves 3. Drilling holes
※ In the case of an installation plate made in 2020, it can be cut and used immediately, but an installation plate made in 2021 has a holder, so you need to make a hole when cutting it.
