This is a wall-sleeve heat pump for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions near saltwater environments where central ductwork isn't available and standard PTAC coatings won't hold up. It's built for property managers and coastal homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with added corrosion protection.
This PTH074J25CXXX is a 265V packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) with a 2.5 kW electric heat backup, built on the Amana PTH chassis and finished with Amana's seacoast corrosion-protection package (Feature Code C) for coastal hospitality and residential properties. It is suited to hotel guest rooms, condos, and additions where a self-contained wall unit replaces central ductwork, particularly in seacoast or high-corrosion environments where standard chassis coatings degrade faster. 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 (interior depth detail [NEEDS VERIFICATION]).
- Voltage: 265V. Compatible only with dedicated 265V commercial circuits, min 239V / max 292V.
- Amperage (with 2.5 kW electric heat installed): 9.7 total amps, MCA 12.2A, MOP 15A.
- Power cord/plug: 7-20P. This is a 265V configuration and does NOT ship with an LCDI cord — LCDI cords apply only to units rated under 250V.
- Required for 265V operation: Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included with this unit and must be ordered separately.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and is sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and is sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage class, see the sibling chassis PTH073J.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings outside 42 in x 16-1/16 in.
On seacoast retrofits, techs often reuse an existing sleeve rather than verify pitch, and that's the fastest way to get a callback for water staining under the window six months later. Even a corrosion-protected chassis like this one will drain condensate into the wall cavity if the sleeve sits level or pitches inward. Set the sleeve with a torpedo level so it reads a consistent 1/4-bubble pitch toward the exterior, and confirm the sleeve extends a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the outside wall face per the framing diagram. On 265V installs, pair this with a NEMA receptacle chart check before energizing — confirm the sub-base or hardwire kit's disconnect is rated and wired to NEC standards for the 12.2A MCA / 15A MOP heater load. Document both checks on the property's HVAC install log; most commercial hospitality PM programs require pitch and electrical verification photos before a unit is accepted into service.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation (COP 3.5) supplements the 2.5 kW electric heat strip for efficient shoulder-season heating before backup heat is needed.
- EER 12.5 cooling efficiency on a 7,300 BTU/h chassis suited to single guest rooms or small additions.
- Dehumidification rated at 1.7 pints/hr, useful in humid coastal climates prone to guest-room moisture complaints.
- Built-in ventilation (65-95 CFM) supports fresh make-up air in tightly sealed hospitality rooms.
- Seacoast corrosion-protection package (Feature Code C) extends chassis service life in salt-air environments beyond standard-coating PTAC/PTHP units.
- R-32 refrigerant chassis meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency requirements.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings (e.g., Amana WS900E, WS900QW, WS900SC seacoast sleeve).
- Compatible only with dedicated 265V circuits (239V-292V range) using the 7-20P power cord.
- Requires an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect for proper 265V installation — both sold separately.
- NOT compatible with 115V circuits.
- NOT compatible with 230/208V circuits — that voltage class is served by the sibling chassis PTH073J.
- Wall sleeve and exterior architectural grille are NOT included and must be purchased separately.
- NOT a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom-depth sleeve openings outside the 42 in x 16-1/16 in standard.

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 sleeve opening (e.g., Amana WS900E, WS900QW, or the WS900SC seacoast-protected sleeve), but no sleeve ships with the chassis.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5 kW electric heat installed, this configuration has an MCA of 12.2 amps and a maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) rating of 15 amps. It ships with a 7-20P power cord for a 265V circuit. Do not connect this unit to a 115V or 230/208V circuit.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. All 265V Amana PTAC/PTHP models must use an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit paired with the PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither the sub-base nor the hardwire kit is included with this unit. This unit uses factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses; it does not ship with an LCDI power cord, since LCDI cords apply only to units under 250V.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V hardwire and sub-base connections should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. Refer to the manufacturer warranty documentation in the Resources tab for specific installation conditions tied to warranty coverage.
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 drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
