26" Overall Width: The total width of the unit when it is installed with the wall sleeve in place. It represents the complete space the air conditioner will occupy in the wall, including any framing or trim that comes with the sleeve.
25" Excluding the Sleeve: The actual cabinet or internal unit is 25" wide. This measurement is important for installers, as it indicates the true size of the cooling and heating unit. It allows precise placement within a pre-framed opening and helps ensure a snug, secure fit.
22" Overall Depth: The depth measurement from the very front of the unit (including the louver or grille) to the back of the installed unit with the sleeve.
20" Excluding the Sleeve: The internal depth of the air conditioner is 20". This is the critical measurement for confirming that the unit will fit into the designated wall cavity and will allow the proper installation of electrical connections and mounting brackets.
16" Overall Height: This height includes the entire assembly as installed, with the external sleeve or trim piece that gives the finished look to the unit once installed in the wall.
15" Excluding the Sleeve: The air conditioner itself is 15" tall. Knowing this helps determine if the unit fits into the pre-cut wall opening and ensures that any cabinetry or adjacent fixtures have adequate clearance.
