This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric-heat unit for hotel rooms, apartments, or seacoast-facing properties where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and coastal homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with added protection against salt-air corrosion.
This 7,000 BTU PTAC pairs a standard cooling chassis with a 2.5 kW electric heat strip and seacoast-grade corrosion protection, suited to coastal hospitality properties, waterfront condos, and additions exposed to salt air. All units in this series 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.
Critical Fit & Power Requirements
- Wall sleeve opening: Standard industry 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (framing rough opening approximately 42-1/4 in x 16-1/4 in minimum).
- Voltage: 265V commercial circuit only, operating range 239V-292V.
- Amperage: 12.2A MCA with heater installed; 15A maximum overcurrent protection using factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses.
- NEMA Plug Type: 7-20P power cord.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or WS900SC for seacoast triple protection).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — the 230/208V equivalent chassis is PTC073J, not this model.
- Requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch — neither is included.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
On seacoast installs, the wall sleeve is the first thing salt air attacks — but the second-most-common callback is condensate backing up into the drywall because the sleeve was set level instead of pitched. Set the sleeve with a slight pitch toward the outside wall — roughly 1/4 bubble on a torpedo level — so condensate runs out through the base pan and drain rather than pooling against the interior wall cavity. Confirm the pitch with the torpedo level on the sleeve's bottom rail before securing it, not after the unit is installed. This is standard property-management practice for coastal units: a sleeve installed dead level is a warranty claim waiting to happen, and re-pitching after drywall is closed up is a far more expensive fix than getting it right during framing.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening (for example, the WS900E or WS900SC seacoast sleeve), but the sleeve itself ships as a separate line item.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5 kW electric heat strip installed, this unit has a total MCA of 12.2 amps and requires 15-amp maximum overcurrent protection (cartridge-style time-delay fuses, factory-installed, per 265V code). It ships with a 7-20P power cord.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes, but 265V models must use an Amana brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with the PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included with this unit and both must be purchased 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 within the 239V-292V operating range. Given the voltage class and hardwire/sub-base requirements, installation by a licensed electrician is standard practice. Exact warranty conditions are detailed in the manufacturer warranty document.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening. It is not designed for custom or non-standard openings.
