This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric heater built for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's designed for property managers and commercial buyers who need self-contained, per-room climate control on a 265V electrical circuit.
The DRY094J25AXXX is an Amana R-32 PTAC unit with a 2.5 kW electric heat strip, built for hospitality and multi-family applications where individual room control matters. Amana PTAC chassis units meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
- Wall sleeve opening: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (industry-standard PTAC sleeve dimension).
- Voltage: 265V, operating range 239V minimum to 292V maximum.
- Amperage: MCA 12.2A, MOP 15A (cartridge-style time-delay fuses, factory-installed).
- Power cord/plug: NEMA 7-20P.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (WS900E, WS900QW, or other compatible sleeve model).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- This 265V unit requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A — sold separately, not included with the chassis.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — the 230/208V equivalent chassis is model DRY093J, not this unit.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings outside the 42 in x 16-1/16 in standard.
On 265V commercial installs, the technical friction point isn't the chassis — it's confirming the sub-base and receptacle configuration before the sleeve gets framed in. A 265V unit dropped into a sleeve wired for 230/208V will not seat correctly on the sub-base terminals, and the mismatch often isn't caught until the unit is powered up and trips the breaker or, worse, arcs at the connection. Field-verify the sub-base model (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit (PTPWHWK4 with PSHW04A disconnect) against the panel schedule before rough-in, using the electrical panel schedule and a NEMA receptacle chart side-by-side. This prevents a callback that requires re-pulling wire after drywall is closed. On the mechanical side, set the sleeve with a 1/4-bubble pitch to the outside using a torpedo level — level side-to-side, pitched toward the exterior — so condensate drains away from the wall cavity instead of pooling and wicking into the drywall. Both checks are standard practice under NEC receptacle code compliance and property management pre-installation walkthroughs for commercial PTAC/PTHP retrofits.
- Enhanced dehumidification performance: 2.6 pints/hr removal rate, useful in humid climates or coastal properties.
- R-32 refrigerant — lower-GWP refrigerant used across the DRY J-series lineup.
- Fresh air ventilation: 65 CFM vent capability for makeup air in sealed guest rooms.
- Compressor-only draw of 3.8A / 750W keeps standby electrical load low relative to total heat-mode draw.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.
- Single-stage 2.5 kW electric heat strip provides supplemental heat rated for 8,500 BTU/h at 265V.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening, such as the WS900E or WS900QW models.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 265V configuration requires a 15A MOP (maximum overcurrent protection) with cartridge-style time-delay fuses, and uses a NEMA 7-20P plug configuration. MCA is 12.2A.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. This 265V model must be installed with an Amana brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit paired with the PSHW04A disconnect switch. These are sold separately and are required for proper installation.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V installations involve dedicated circuits, sub-base wiring, and overcurrent protection sizing. Installation by a licensed electrician or HVAC professional familiar with NEC receptacle codes is standard practice for commercial PTAC installs. Refer to the Resources tab warranty document for the manufacturer's specific installation requirements.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
