This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric heater built for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't an option. It's a 265V commercial unit, intended for property managers and electricians who need a self-contained, per-room climate system on a dedicated 265V circuit.
This unit is built for hospitality and multi-family properties needing self-contained, per-room heating and cooling without central ductwork. It runs on a 265V commercial circuit — strictly a hardwire or dedicated sub-base installation, not a residential drop-in. 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.
Critical Fit & Power Requirements
- Wall sleeve opening: Standard industry 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (rough framing opening approx. 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high).
- Voltage: 265V, operating range 239-292V. Compressor draws 3.8A / 750W; total heat+cool load is 14.2A / 3,770W.
- MCA 17.9A / MOP 20A. Ships with a 7-20P power cord requiring a NEMA 7-20R receptacle on a dedicated 265V circuit.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included. Both must be ordered separately.
- This unit requires an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch — neither is included and both are sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage class, see the sibling chassis DRY093J (230/208V), not this model.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings — verify rough opening dimensions before ordering.
- This unit does not ship with an LCDI power cord. LCDI protection under UL 484 applies only to units rated under 250V; at 265V this unit instead relies on factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses for overcurrent protection.
On 265V PTAC replacements, the most common callback isn't the compressor — it's a mismatched receptacle or a sleeve that was never pitched for drainage. This unit's 7-20P cord only mates with a NEMA 7-20R receptacle; confirm the existing receptacle against a NEMA Receptacle Chart before you pull the old unit, because 265V circuits are not forgiving of adapter workarounds. Once the sub-base or hardwire kit is set, use a torpedo level to confirm the sleeve sits level side-to-side and pitched roughly 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall — that slight outdoor pitch is what keeps condensate draining out through the chassis pan instead of backing up into the drywall over a heating season. This pitch-and-plug check is standard property-management practice before turnover inspections, and it satisfies the intent behind NEC receptacle-matching requirements for dedicated appliance circuits.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 265V dedicated circuits only, using a NEMA 7-20R receptacle for the factory 7-20P cord, or via hardwire through the required sub-base/disconnect kit.
- Fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening.

- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — use the DRY093J (230/208V) chassis for that voltage instead.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom-depth sleeve openings without dimension verification.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed for the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening, but you need to order a compatible sleeve (such as WS900E) and exterior grille separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 265V unit with the 3.7 kW electric heat strip has a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 17.9A and a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 20A. It ships with a 7-20P power cord, which requires a matching NEMA 7-20R receptacle on a dedicated 265V, 20A circuit.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. All 265V Amana PTAC models must be installed with either an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included with this unit and both must be ordered separately.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
This is a 265V commercial unit requiring a dedicated circuit and either a matched sub-base or hardwire disconnect kit. [NEEDS VERIFICATION - exact licensed-installer warranty language is confirmed only in the manufacturer warranty PDF in the Resources tab].
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 fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings without verifying dimensions first.
