This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric-heat unit for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control.
This PTC123J35AXXX is an Amana PTAC configured with a 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat strip at 230/208V, intended for hospitality rooms, multifamily units, and room additions where ductwork isn't practical. Amana PTAC chassis are built 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: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (WS900E / WS900QW series sleeves)
- Voltage: 230/208V — compatible with 230/208V circuits only
- Amperage with heater installed: 15.5/14.1A running; MCA 19.5A; MOP (max breaker) 20A
- NEMA Plug Type: 6-20P power cord, factory-installed, LCDI device per UL 484

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed for a standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in sleeve opening (WS900E / WS900QW series), but you will need to order the sleeve and exterior grille as separate line items.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat installed, this unit requires a 20-amp circuit (MOP 20A, MCA 19.5A) and uses a NEMA 6-20P power cord. Do not use the chassis-only MCA figure of 7.4A for breaker sizing — that value excludes the heater.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This unit is rated 230/208V and ships with a factory power cord (NEMA 6-20P) with an LCDI device per UL 484. It is not the 265V commercial version. The 265V sibling chassis for this platform is PTC124J, 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] Installation labor requirements for warranty validity are not detailed in the provided specification 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 fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening (WS900E / WS900QW standard sleeves). It is not a fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings without verifying dimensions first.
