This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and heater for hotel rooms, apartments, additions, or offices where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with a factory power cord rather than a hardwire job.
The PMC073J35AXXX is a factory-corded PTAC with electric heat, suited to hospitality retrofits, additions, and multi-family units where a wall sleeve is already framed or being installed new. It carries an EER of 12.7/12.8 and meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1. 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: industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (WS900E / WS900QW family)
- Voltage: 230/208V (min 197V / max 253V per data plate rating)
- Total heat amps: 15.5/14.1A; MCA 19.5A; MOP 20A
- NEMA plug: 6-20P, factory-installed LCDI cord per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V)
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire installs — that configuration is sold as sibling model PMC074J and requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A, none of which apply to this 230/208V unit
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard sleeve openings
On retrofit jobs, the wall sleeve is often already in the wall from a prior unit, and it's tempting to skip re-checking pitch. Don't. Condensate on this chassis relies on gravity drainage out the rear of the sleeve, and a sleeve that's level or pitched inward will back water up into the wall cavity and rot the drywall over a season of cooling cycles. Set a Torpedo Level across the sleeve rail and confirm a 1/4-bubble pitch toward the exterior before you slide the chassis in. While you're at the wall, verify the receptacle is a NEMA 6-20R matched to this unit's 6-20P cord — cross-referencing a NEMA Receptacle Chart takes thirty seconds and prevents a guest-facing service call from a unit that won't power on. This is standard property-management commissioning practice before turning a room back over to inventory.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit installs into an industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening, such as the WS900E or WS900QW.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V unit requires a 20-amp circuit (MOP 20A, MCA 19.5A) and uses a factory-installed NEMA 6-20P plug with an LCDI power cord per UL 484.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This model is a 230/208V unit and is not rated for 265V circuits. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is sold as model PMC074J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A, sold separately, along with factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] Refer to the manufacturer warranty documentation in the Resources tab for exact installation requirements tied to warranty validity.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve dimensions.
Warranty & Registration
This unit carries a 1-Year Repair/Replace warranty and a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty per manufacturer badge documentation. Commercial hospitality use may carry different terms than residential use — check the warranty PDF in the Resources tab for the exact language before you install, and ask us before you order if anything in the terms is unclear.
