This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner with electric heat strip 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 on a 265V commercial electrical circuit.
This PTAC unit with electric heat strip is suited to hospitality corridors, guest rooms, and additions where a dedicated 265V circuit is already run or planned. Cooling and heating capacities referenced here are drawn from the manufacturer's published chassis and electric-heat performance data. 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 (industry-standard sleeve footprint)
- Voltage: 265V — operating range 239V minimum / 292V maximum
- Total Amps (with 5.0 kW heater): 19.2A; MCA 23.9A; MOP 25A
- Power Cord / Plug: NEMA 7-30P (30A)
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — sold separately (e.g., WS900E).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — sold separately.
- Requires an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch — both sold separately — for proper 265V connection.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage class, see sibling model PTC153J.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
On 265V hospitality retrofits, techs sometimes reach for a standard sub-base without confirming it matches the Amana PTSB4**E series or PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit call-out — a mismatch here is the fastest way to end up with a loose electrical connection behind drywall. Confirm sub-base or hardwire kit compatibility against the nameplate voltage and chassis model before mounting, and torque connections to the terminal spec listed in the hardwire kit's instruction sheet. Use a NEMA receptacle chart to verify the 7-30P cord (if a sub-base with receptacle is used) matches the wall-mounted device exactly — a physical fit that "almost" mates is not a code-compliant connection. This is standard practice under NEC receptacle and disconnect-switch code requirements for fixed commercial appliances, and it is the kind of detail a property manager's electrical inspector will check first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed to fit an industry-standard 42-inch wide x 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening, but you must order the sleeve (e.g., WS900E) separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 5.0 kW electric heat strip installed, this unit requires a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 23.9A and a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 25A. It ships with a NEMA 7-30P power cord for connection to a compatible 265V, 30A receptacle.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. This 265V unit requires either an Amana brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. Both 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?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — installer licensing requirements for warranty validity are not specified in the provided source data. Refer to the warranty PDF in the Resources tab for exact installation terms.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42-inch wide x 16-1/16-inch high wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
