This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner with electric heat strip, built for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions near coastal air where standard chassis corrode faster than expected. It's designed for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with added seacoast corrosion protection.
The PTC094J35CXXX is a 265V PTAC chassis with a 3.7 kW single-stage electric heat strip and factory-applied seacoast corrosion protection (feature code C), intended for coastal hospitality properties, oceanfront condos, and commercial buildings where salt-air exposure degrades standard coil and cabinet coatings. It meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency requirements. 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 (standard depth 14 in, WS900E/WS900QW family)
- Voltage: 265V — operating range 239V minimum / 292V maximum
- Total amps with heater installed: 14.2A; MCA 17.9A; MOP (breaker/fuse) 20A
- NEMA plug type: 7-20P power cord
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- This 265V unit requires an Amana PTSB4**E series sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch (sold separately) — it is not a standard plug-and-play install like 230/208V units
- Not compatible with 115V circuits
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — the 230/208V version of this chassis is model PTC093J, a different part number
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings
- This unit does NOT ship with the LCDI power cord protection used on sub-250V models; 265V units instead ship with factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses
On 265V seacoast installs, techs commonly grab whatever sub-base is in the truck — but a mismatched or missing sub-base on this chassis leaves the unit hard-wired with no disconnect means at the wall, which fails inspection and voids the intended install path. Confirm the sub-base is an Amana PTSB4**E series unit (or install the PTPWHWK4 kit with PSHW04A disconnect) before setting the chassis, and pitch the wall sleeve 1/4 bubble toward the exterior using a torpedo level to keep condensate draining outdoors instead of pooling at the drywall interface. This pitch spec matches the framing diagram tolerance (sleeve extending a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the outside wall face). Verify the breaker matches the 20A MOP rating from the heater performance table, not the 15A rating used on no-heater chassis — this is a standard NEC-compliance check property managers should log at turnover for every seacoast unit.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening (WS900E / WS900QW family, standard 14 in depth)
- Compatible with 265V circuits only, within the 239V–292V operating range, via NEMA 7-20P plug or hard-wire/sub-base installation
- Requires an Amana PTSB4**E series sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch (sold separately) for proper 265V installation
- Not compatible with 115V circuits
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — use sibling model PTC093J for 230/208V applications
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — must be purchased separately
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — must be purchased separately
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings

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 opening, with a standard 14 in sleeve depth (WS900E / WS900QW family).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 3.7 kW electric heat installed, this unit requires a Minimum Circuit Ampacity of 17.9A and a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (breaker/fuse) of 20A. It uses a NEMA 7-20P power cord plug configuration.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes, but it requires the Amana PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch, or an Amana PTSB4**E series sub-base, neither of which is included with this unit. All 265V models also ship with factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V electrical work, including sub-base or hard-wire kit installation, should be performed by a licensed electrician per NEC code. Refer to the Resources tab warranty documentation for the manufacturer's specific installation requirements.
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 fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings without verifying dimensions first.
