Window Air Conditioner Support Bracket: Built-in Bubble Level, 165lbs Capacity

Is Your Window Air Conditioner Safely Installed? Product Description

As the official start of summer brings with it hot and sticky weather, air conditioners all over the city are running full blast. If you have a window A/C unit in your apartment, it's important to ensure that the unit is safely installed. Local Law 11 in New York City requires that all window air conditioners be installed with an A/C Safe Air Conditioner Support Bracket in buildings taller than six stories.

When installing a window air conditioner, it's best to have a team of two people. You can also install a window AC support bracket on the outside of your home for an extra layer of support, ensuring that it is completely secure. The Gulrear air conditioner mount offers two sizes of Window AC Brackets that require drilling. However, please check with the Homeowner Association to ensure that you are allowed to drill holes in the window sill to install the brackets.

The Universal window air conditioner bracket kit features a 17" long DIY window AC support bracket that is easy to install. It's suitable for a wide range of air conditioner units, with a maximum weight capacity of 165lbs. The installation can be completed entirely indoors, with only the need to drill three holes in the window sill.

The installation process involves finding the center of the window sill, marking it, and then screwing in small blocks that come with the unit. One block will be angled to level the bracket. After screwing in the top bracket bar and mounting the bottom bar with screws and bolts, the A/C unit can be placed on the bracket.

It's important to note that the window air conditioner bracket should be installed with a slight tilt down for condensate draining purposes, as well as that non-slip screws require the use of a wrench. Additionally, the window sill must be a minimum of 2 inches deep and be able to accept 2 1/2 inches long screws.

The air conditioner support bar is made of heavy-gauge steel with an epoxy-coated surface treatment, ensuring a long-lasting and durable fit. It's designed to fit wall thickness from 4" to 15" or window sill thickness from 2'' to 15'', and is suitable for ordinary single/double hanging windows with window sills. However, it is not compatible with slide casement or casement windows.

Proper installation using the Gulrear universal window air conditioner support bracket can prevent the A/C unit from falling out of the window and causing injury. The bracket helps to redistribute weight stress on the window frame, minimizing the risk of damage to the window, exterior wall, or siding.

In conclusion, ensuring that your window air conditioner is safely installed is crucial for both the functionality of the unit and the safety of those around it. With the right support bracket, you can enjoy the cool relief of an A/C unit without any worries about its stability.
