Casement A/C sizes - through the wall?

As part of a kitchen remod, a through the wall airconditioner will be installed.
The location and other factors would make a casement-sized A/C the best choice
size-wise. BizRate search turned up three, not sure if they would really work.
An example:

Would it work through-the-wall?

| Probably not unless your wall is unusually thin. Those louvers on the side
have to be outside.

| As Pat says, through wall units are arranged differntly than window
units.

This is Turtle.
What i seen from your site to see the unit you was speaking about. It
was a narrow window unit and not a through the wall type unit. With
this sais.
You may have trouble putting these narrow window units in through the
wall conditions. You would have air inlets and air out lets on the side
and by going through the wall it would cut some of this air off to not
let your unit work properly. You need to check on this.
Now if you are really putting the window unit through the wall you will
need a true through the wall type window unit. it has all the air from
outside comeing in the back and going out the back. Nothing goes in or
out the sides.
Get to a Search engine and type in '''' Through the wall window units
''''' you will get all forms of these units to look at. If you can try
to get Whirlpool / Roper if you can.

Thanks, all, for your help.
I *was* a little suspicious when Bizrate came up with three of these as "though
the wall" models, but none, on further investigation, explicitly had that in the
specs.
(The three were:
Whirlpool ACS802 8000 BTU
Fedders A6V08S2A 8000 BTU
Friedrich SV08A10 8000 BTU)
Would either of the others work? Specifically the Friedrich (a google search on
this group *did* turn up one statement that any Friedrich can go through-the
wall)?

If not, is there any through the wall room A/C that is of those general
dimensions? All of these are 20.5 inches high and about 15 inches wide. Or is
the fact that those dimensions are for casement windows mean it will always need
a window?
TIA,
Banty
