This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and heater built for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions near saltwater where central ductwork isn't available and corrosion is a concern. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control in coastal environments.
This PTC074J35CXXX is a Seacoast Protected PTAC (cooling plus electric-resistance heat) built on the Amana PTC chassis, rated for 7,000 BTU/h cooling and using R-32 refrigerant. It is suited to hospitality and multi-family properties in coastal or high-corrosion environments where per-room, self-contained climate control is required. All units meet or exceed 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.
- Wall Sleeve: fits industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high opening (WS900E / WS900QW family standard depth 14 in). Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order an SGK, AGK, or PGK grille separately based on desired finish.
- Voltage: 265V commercial. Voltage window: 239V minimum / 292V maximum.
- Electric Heat: 3.7 kW, single stage, 12,600 BTU/h heating output at 265V.
- Total Amps with heater: 14.2A; MCA 17.9A; MOP (breaker size) 20A.
- Power Cord/Plug: NEMA 7-20P.
- This 265V unit requires an Amana brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch — neither is included. Overcurrent protection uses factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for a 230/208V version of this chassis, see sibling model PTC073J.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
On 265V hospitality retrofits, the sub-base and sleeve pairing is where most callbacks originate — not the chassis itself. When you set the sleeve, pitch it 1/4 bubble toward the exterior using a torpedo level; a level or reverse-pitched sleeve backs condensate into the wall cavity and rots the drywall around the opening within a season. Confirm the receptacle or hardwire disconnect matches the unit's NEMA 7-20P cord rating before energizing — cross-wiring a 265V sub-base to a 230/208V feed is a documented fire and warranty-voiding hazard. This sequencing (sleeve pitch check, then electrical verification against the NEMA Receptacle Chart) is standard property-management commissioning practice before a unit is handed over to housekeeping or a resident.
- Seacoast corrosion protection on the chassis extends service life in salt-air and coastal humidity conditions.
- Dehumidification rated at 1.7 pints/hr at high speed.
- Fresh-air ventilation capability rated at 65 CFM.
- Dry-coil airflow of 339 CFM at both high and low fan speeds.
- EER of 13 on the cooling side.
- Single-stage 3.7 kW electric heat strip delivers 12,600 BTU/h of supplemental heat at 265V.

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 (WS900E / WS900QW family).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 3.7 kW electric heat installed, this unit has an MCA of 17.9A and requires a 20A breaker (MOP). It ships with a NEMA 7-20P power cord for 265V circuits.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. This 265V unit must be paired with an Amana brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included with this unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V installations involve sub-base wiring or hardwire disconnects and should be installed by a licensed electrician or HVAC professional in accordance with NEC requirements. Refer to the warranty document in the Resources tab for exact installer/warranty conditions.
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 without verification.
