This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric-heat unit for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions near seacoast environments where corrosion resistance matters. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with added coil and cabinet protection against salt-air exposure.
The PTC093J50CXXX is a Standard Cooler PTAC with electric heat, built on the PTC093J chassis with Feature Code C seacoast corrosion protection for coastal or high-humidity installations. It is suited for hospitality rooms, additions, and multi-family units where central ductwork is not practical. This model uses R-32 refrigerant and is designed to 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.
- Wall sleeve opening: industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (sleeve sold separately - see below).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Minimum 197V / maximum 253V per manufacturer voltage limits.
- Total heater amps: 22.1/20.0A (230V/208V). MCA: 27.6A. MOP: 30A.
- Power cord/plug: NEMA 6-30P, factory-installed, ships with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included. Both must be ordered separately (e.g., WS900E/WS900QW standard sleeve, WS900SC seacoast sleeve, and SGK/AGK/PGK grille options).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not for 265V hardwire installs - the 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PTC094J, which requires a dedicated Amana sub-base or hard-wire kit (sold separately).
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings - verify existing sleeve dimensions before ordering.
On seacoast and coastal properties, condensate drainage gets overlooked because installers assume standard pitch specs apply regardless of sleeve type. Field friction: mismatched sleeve pitch on a corrosion-protected chassis like this one still routes condensate poorly if the crew sets the sleeve level instead of pitched. Long-term prevention: pitch the sleeve 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall - not level side-to-side, but tipped down away from the building - so condensate drains outward and never migrates back into the drywall or wall cavity, which is what causes rot and mold callbacks. Expert validation: check this with a torpedo level on the sleeve rails before securing it, per the framing diagram guidance for the 42-1/4 in x 16-1/4 in minimum rough opening. Professional standard: document sleeve pitch verification during rough-in inspection - this is standard property management practice for hospitality PTAC rollouts and prevents warranty disputes over water damage that property managers otherwise attribute to the unit rather than the installation.
- Dehumidification: 2 pints/hr, useful in humid coastal or shoulder-season climates.
- Ventilation: 65 CFM fresh-air intake for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms.
- EER rated 12.1/12.2 (230V/208V) for measurable cooling efficiency.
- Seacoast Protected coil and cabinet treatment for corrosion resistance in salt-air environments.
- Single-stage 5.0/4.1 kW electric heat strip delivers 17,100/14,000 BTU of supplemental heat.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (e.g., Amana WS900E, WS900QW, or WS900SC seacoast sleeve series).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This configuration requires a 230/208V circuit with a minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) of 27.6A and a maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) of 30A. It ships with a factory-installed 6-30P power cord and plug.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This unit is a 230/208V model and is not rated for 265V. If you need a 265V commercial unit, look at the PTC094J chassis, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A, sold separately.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] - installer licensing requirements are not specified in the provided source data. Refer to the warranty document in the Resources tab for exact terms.
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. Confirm sleeve depth and drain configuration (internal vs. standard) before ordering, since sleeves are sold separately.
Amana backs this unit with a manufacturer 1-Year Repair/Replace warranty and a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty. Exact terms, including any distinctions between commercial hospitality and residential use, are detailed in the Product Warranty document available in the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above - review it before you order so you know exactly what's covered.
