This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric heater built for hotel rooms, apartments, or coastal properties where central ductwork isn't an option. It's a 265V commercial unit with seacoast corrosion protection, designed for property managers and building owners operating near saltwater environments.
This chassis is built for hospitality and multifamily properties in coastal or high-corrosion environments, where the "C" feature code adds seacoast corrosion protection to the cabinet and coil. The 265V electrical platform is a commercial-grade configuration, not a residential drop-in. AHRI-rated cooling and heating capacities are listed in the technical table below. 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.
- Voltage: 265V — this is a commercial voltage class, not a household 115V or 230/208V circuit.
- Electric heat: 2.5 kW, single stage, rated 8,500 BTU/h heating output at 265V.
- Total amps with heater energized: 9.7A. MCA: 12.2A. MOP: 15A (factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses required at 265V).
- Power cord/plug: NEMA 7-20P.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included. Both are ordered separately (see Wall Sleeve options below).
- This unit requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch — neither is included with the chassis.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage class, use the sibling chassis PTC093J instead.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
The most common 265V callback isn't the compressor — it's a missed connection between the heater's amperage draw and the sub-base wiring. This chassis pulls 9.7A total with the 2.5 kW heater running, against a 15A MOP. Before energizing the circuit, verify the sub-base or hard-wire kit's internal fusing matches that 15A MOP exactly — undersized fusing nuisance-trips, oversized fusing is a fire-code violation. Confirm with a clamp meter under load, not just a visual on the nameplate. This lines up with NEC Article 440 overcurrent protection requirements for room air conditioners, and it's standard practice on any property management PM checklist before a unit goes into service.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings.
- Compatible with 265V commercial electrical circuits via NEMA 7-20P plug configuration, when paired with the required Amana sub-base or hard-wire kit.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately (standard options include WS900E, WS900QW, or WS900SC for seacoast triple protection).
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — use sibling chassis PTC093J for that voltage class.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings; extra-deep and heavy-gauge sleeve variants exist separately for those cases.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42-inch by 16-1/16-inch sleeve opening, but you need to order a compatible Amana sleeve model (such as WS900SC for seacoast applications) on its own.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 265V configuration with the 2.5 kW heater has a Minimum Circuit Ampacity of 12.2A and a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) rating of 15A. It uses a NEMA 7-20P plug.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes, but a 265V unit must be paired with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. These are sold separately and are not included with the chassis.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
Exact installer-qualification terms are set out in the manufacturer warranty document. Please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for the full warranty text before installation.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42-inch wide by 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening. It is not designed as a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
