This is a wall-sleeve heat pump for hotel rooms, apartments, additions, or offices where central ductwork isn't available. It cools and heats using the same refrigerant circuit, with electric heat strips as backup on cold days. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control without extending ductwork.
The PTH073J25AXXX is a 230/208V packaged terminal heat pump built for hospitality rooms, multi-family units, and room additions where a self-contained, per-room system replaces central ductwork. It uses R-32 refrigerant and 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 (fits WS900E / WS900QW-series sleeves)
- Voltage: 230/208V
- Total heater amps: 11.2/10.1A (230V/208V); MCA 14.1A; MOP 15A
- NEMA plug type: 6-15P, factory-installed LCDI power cord (UL 484, applies to units under 250V)
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits
- Not compatible with 265V circuits - the 265V commercial sibling of this chassis is PTH074J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings
On a heat pump installation like the PTH073J, the wall sleeve has to pitch slightly toward the outdoors - roughly a 1/4-bubble tilt on a torpedo level - so condensate produced during both cooling and defrost cycles drains outside instead of pooling against the interior wall cavity. Skip this step and you get slow water intrusion into the drywall and insulation behind the unit, often not discovered until mold or soft drywall shows up months later. Framing crews should also hold the rough opening to approximately 42-1/4 in wide by 16-1/4 in minimum height, with the sleeve extending at least 1/4 in beyond the outside wall face, per the standard framing diagram. On hospitality retrofits, verify this pitch on every sleeve before the chassis goes in - it's a five-minute check against a callback that costs a room-night.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation delivers 6,300/6,100 BTU heating (230V/208V) directly from the refrigerant circuit before electric heat strips engage, reducing electric heat runtime in mild weather
- 1.7 pints/hr dehumidification rate at rated airflow helps manage humidity in guest rooms and living spaces
- 65-95 CFM fresh air ventilation option for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms
- COP of 3.6/3.7 (230V/208V) on heat pump mode for efficient low-load heating
- EER of 12.4/12.8 (230V/208V) on cooling mode
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat backup engages automatically when heat pump capacity is insufficient

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening (WS900E / WS900QW series). The exterior architectural grille is also sold separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V configuration has a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 14.1A and requires a 15A maximum overcurrent protection (breaker/fuse). It ships with a factory-installed 6-15P power cord.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V unit (model PTH073J25AXXX). The 265V commercial version of this chassis is PTH074J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A - neither is included and neither applies to this 230/208V model.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
