Through the wall vs. window installation

I just purchased an alleged "window mount" air conditioner with the closest dimensions to the existing model..do these mount as through the wall as well ? My current opening = 18 x 26" the new purchase is 16 27/32 x 26. I just bought an
LG LWHD1006R Wall/Window Air Conditioner 10,000BTU thru the wall/window air conditioner. I am not sure I understand what this means. can you mount it in the window or do you put it in a sleeve. I live in an apartment the sleeve measures 26x22 not sure of depth. I don't know if I purchased what I need. I guess I need to know if this model can be used with a sleeve

Window mount doesn't have to extend out on the back to clear the side /top intake vents because a window is about 2" thick,
but a wall mount has to have about 6 to 8 " clearing before the intakes vents can be exposed. you can't have your intakes buried in the wall.
in short if you see about 8 " of dead metal in the center area (just behind the window sill) then you can mount it in a wall as it will protrude far enough to clear the side /top intakes.


a sleeve just gives you a way to balance / attach to the outside wall
