This is a wall-sleeve heat pump system for hotel rooms, apartments, condos, or additions near coastal environments where central ductwork isn't available and corrosion protection matters. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with added protection against salt-air exposure.
The PTH073J25CXXX is an Amana packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built on the PTH073J chassis, using R-32 refrigerant and a single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip for backup heating below the heat pump's effective range. It carries Feature Code C, Amana's seacoast corrosion-protection package, intended for coastal hospitality and residential properties exposed to salt air. All units 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.
- Fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening.
- Voltage: 230/208V. Amperage (electric heat total): 11.2/10.1A. MCA: 14.1A. MOP: 15A.
- Power cord/plug: NEMA 6-15P, factory-installed.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (e.g., WS900SC recommended for seacoast/corrosion-prone installs, or WS900E/WS900QW standard).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not a 265V unit — does not require or accept the PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit; those apply to the 265V commercial sibling chassis PTH074J, not this model.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
Seacoast-protected chassis like this one are frequently installed in beachfront hospitality properties where wind-driven rain and condensate both threaten the same wall cavity. The friction point: installers sometimes level the sleeve dead flat side-to-side and front-to-back, assuming "level" means "correct." It doesn't — the sleeve needs a 1/4-bubble pitch toward the exterior. Skipping that pitch lets condensate migrate back toward the interior wall plate instead of draining outside, and over a cooling season that moisture wicks into the surrounding drywall and framing, especially problematic in salt-air climates where corrosion and rot compound each other. Set the pitch with a torpedo level referencing the framing diagram tolerance (rough opening approx. 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high, sleeve extending a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the exterior wall face), and confirm drainage before the exterior grille goes on. On a seacoast job, pair this with the WS900SC triple-protected sleeve rather than the standard WS900E — mixing a standard sleeve with a seacoast-protected chassis defeats half the corrosion package you're paying for. Log the pitch check on the property's PM inspection sheet; it's a five-minute step that prevents a warranty dispute over drywall damage later.
- Dehumidification rate of 1.7 pints/hour supports guest comfort in humid coastal climates.
- Heat pump operation (6,300/6,100 BTU/h) reduces reliance on electric strip heat in moderate outdoor temperatures, lowering operating cost versus heat-strip-only PTAC units.
- Fresh air ventilation adjustable from 65-95 CFM for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms.
- EER of 12.4/12.8 and COP of 3.6/3.7 reflect efficiency ratings for the 230V/208V dual-voltage rating respectively.
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip supplements the heat pump for reliable heating output down to 6,800-8,500 BTU/h backup capacity.
- Seacoast corrosion protection (Feature Code C) extends service life in coastal and high-salinity environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed to fit the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or WS900SC for seacoast environments), but no sleeve ships with the PTH073J25CXXX chassis.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This configuration uses a 230/208V circuit with a 6-15P plug, an MCA of 14.1A, and requires a 15A maximum overcurrent protection device (breaker or fuse).
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V model, not a 265V model. It does not use the Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect, which apply only to 265V models such as the PTH074J. It ships with a factory-installed cord and plug, not for hardwiring.
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 specified in the provided source 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. The chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
This unit is covered by Amana's standard PTAC/PTHP commercial warranty: 1-Year Repair/Replace and 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty on the sealed system. Exact terms, including residential versus commercial hospitality usage limits, are detailed in the manufacturer warranty document — see the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for full terms before you order.
