This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and heater for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with electric-strip backup heat.
This PTAC with electric heat is built around the PMC123J chassis and is common in hospitality renovation, multifamily, and room-addition applications where ductwork isn't practical. Performance data referenced here is drawn from Amana's published catalog ratings 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, standard 14 in depth)
- Voltage: 230/208V — NOT compatible with 115V household circuits
- NOT compatible with 265V circuits. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PMC124J, which requires a dedicated Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A — none of that applies to this 230/208V unit
- Amperage: MCA 14.1A, MOP 15A; total running amps 11.2/10.1A (230V/208V) with electric heat engaged
- NEMA plug type: 6-15P, factory-installed LCDI power cord per UL 484 (applies because this unit operates under 250V)
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — sold separately.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings — verify existing sleeve dimensions before ordering
Key Benefits
- 11,800/11,700 BTU cooling capacity (230V/208V) rated at 11.5/11.5 EER
- 316 CFM indoor airflow with 25-35 CFM of fresh/make-up air ventilation for occupied-room air exchange
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip delivers 8,500 BTU (230V) / 6,800 BTU (208V) supplemental heat
- R-32 refrigerant charge
- Factory-installed LCDI power cord (UL 484) reduces field wiring and inspection time on plug-and-play installs
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via a 6-15P NEMA plug configuration
- Fits standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve openings (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, and related Amana sleeve models)
- NOT compatible with 115V circuits
- NOT compatible with 265V circuits — the 265V commercial sibling chassis is the PMC124J, which needs its own sub-base or hard-wire kit
- Wall Sleeve NOT included with this unit — order separately
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included with this unit — order separately
- NOT a confirmed drop-in fit for custom or non-standard sleeve openings — verify existing sleeve dimensions first

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (e.g., WS900E/WS900QW family). The exterior architectural grille is also sold separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This configuration ships with a 6-15P plug and requires a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 14.1A with a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 15A. Total amp draw with the electric heater running is 11.2/10.1A at 230/208V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V unit, not a 265V unit. It is not compatible with 265V circuits. The 265V commercial sibling of this chassis is the PMC124J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A and factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
Refer to the manufacturer warranty document in the Resources (System Manuals and Warranty) tab for exact installation requirements. Page-badge data confirms a 1-Year Repair/Replace and 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty; full terms and any licensing requirements are detailed in that document, not summarized further here.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. The PMC123J chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening. The sleeve itself (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or seacoast/heavy-gauge variants) is sold separately and must be ordered independently.
