Does this require a support bracket? (such as this A/C Safe AC-160 Universal Heavy Duty Window Air Conditioner Support

That's the one that I use. I'd rather be safe than sorry - the unit is pretty heavy.

The hole I mounted mine in was framed all the way around with 2x4 giving me a hole that was almost 4 inches deep so I did not use the bracket and the unit is very steady and quiet.

Dear Troy!I live in a building. The superintendent put it in a window. It does not have a support bracket just hangs out the window like all other air conditioners. It is a great AC. It does my kitchen, dining room, living room and office area.

Yes it does. This is probably the biggest and heaviest window unit. Definitely need support bracket.

Definitely! Brackets are supplied with the AC, but I already had old ones on the window. Also, the type supplied may not fit your Window ledge!

I would doubt it. However this unit comes with its own bracket which is easy to install.

I had to make a bracket to mount it on the wall because it did not come with one. After all of that, the unit I had was defective but that does not mean they all are.

Mine came with a bracket...easy to install, and the controller can be attached or detached very quickly.

I use this on my patio as a planter. I don't remember there being any window brackets being included.

No other bracket should be necessary. It comes with ends that have 2 holes used to mount it to shower walls. However it will not have enough room if you are planning to mount it against a flat wall and expect it to be a shower stall.

I mounted my Friedrich CP15G10 in a window, but I bought a support kit that holds up the bottom of the unit. I'm not sure that it's necessary, but I wanted to make sure.

No brackets are included. It is heavy due to the solid metal construction. It can be mounted via holes in the lip that turns inward on the back edges.

The installation instructions don't say you need a outside support But I would suggest one for safety.

The bar doesn't rely solely on the top of the bar. Two J brackets are included with the bar to mount above the door frame. When I first bought this, I was thinking the same thing, but when the box came in, I was glad to see some other support was included.

It has some weight to it, a significant some what heavy duty bracket is need. The one that accompanied the unit won't work.

Yes to all you asked. The bracket may interfere with screens but it should certainly allow a window to close if no AC is in place. I use these brackets in windows that don't have the AC in most of the time and they are a big help in preventing the AC from tipping out and falling during installation and removal rather than just supporting it while in place.

Brackets were not included with the unit I purchased. They are available as a separate item for purchase. I poured a small concrete slab on which to sit the unit and attached it with Tapcon screws.

Yes, there's a threaded adaptor that come with bracket. Not sure it it would be the most stable option though.

Yes...a bracket was included...For mine it wasn't quite long enough to secure to the wall due to an old floor. I painted two shims black to match and put them under the front on both sides...worked like a charm...has been fully loaded for a year and doing fine. Better quality then I had expected.

It comes with a very adjustable bracket with a strong window suction cup. So far it has stayed on the window even though the unit is on the heavy side. Hopefully the suction cup doesn't get worn out too quickly. I haven't had the unit long enough to tell you how well the suction cup holds up over time. So far it has worked well in my Class B Roadtrek RV.
