If what you are referring to as the "outdoor frame for support" is the support bracket for window air conditioners, it is not required for the LG 14,000 BTU Smart Window Air Conditioner 700 Sq. Ft - White, Model # LW1522IVSM, unless you live in New York City where support brackets are required for window air conditioners in NYC. This requirement is part of the New York City Building Code, specifically Section 28-105.2, which mandates the use of brackets for all window-mounted AC units. The brackets are essential for safety, providing additional support, stability, and compliance with local regulations. Homeowners and building owners are responsible for ensuring that brackets are installed properly to prevent accidents and maintain compliance with NYC building codes.
If you do not live in NYC, not all cities in the US require support brackets for window-mounted ACs. The requirement for support brackets varies by city and is often determined by local building codes or regulations. Other cities may have different requirements or no requirement at all. It is essential to check local regulations and building codes to determine the specific requirements for support brackets in your area...^Ivan.
