Abstract
An air conditioning appliance, as provided herein, may have a telescoping plenum attached to a housing of the air conditioning appliance. The telescoping plenum may be receivable within a wall channel defined by a structure wall along an axial direction. The telescoping plenum may include an interior portion and an exterior portion. The interior portion may include a duct wall and an outer flange extending radially outward from the duct wall to contact an internal surface of a structure wall. The exterior portion may include a duct wall having a flange-less outer surface to selectively pass through the wall channel along the axial direction. The exterior portion may be in slidable engagement with the interior portion to move along the axial direction.
