This is a wall-sleeve heat pump for hotel rooms, apartments, offices, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It cools, heats via heat pump, and switches to electric backup heat when outdoor temperatures drop — built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control.
The PTH093J25AXXX is a 9,000 BTU packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built for hospitality guest rooms, multi-family units, and additions where ductwork isn't practical. It uses R-32 refrigerant and is designed 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.
Critical Fit & Power Requirements
- Wall sleeve opening: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (industry-standard PTAC/PTHP sleeve dimension).
- Voltage: 230/208V — compatible with 230V or 208V single-phase circuits.
- Total amps with electric heat: 11.2A (230V) / 10.1A (208V). MCA: 14.1A. MOP (breaker size): 15A.
- NEMA plug type: 6-15P factory-installed power cord.
- All units under 250V, including this one, ship with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection Interrupter) power cord per UL 484.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire-only installations — that voltage class is served by the PTH094J sibling chassis, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings unless paired with a compatible extra-deep/oversized Amana sleeve variant.
On multi-unit hospitality retrofits, the most common callback isn't the compressor — it's water staining below the sleeve six months after install. That happens when the wall sleeve is set dead level instead of pitched toward the exterior. Field standard is roughly a 1/4-bubble pitch to the outside on a torpedo level, matching Amana's framing guidance that the sleeve should extend a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the outside wall face. That slope lets condensate run off the exterior lip instead of migrating back along the sleeve bottom into interior drywall and insulation. Confirm the pitch before securing the sleeve permanently, and document it on the property's punch list — most commercial property managers treat correct condensate slope as a mandatory inspection point before occupancy sign-off, not an optional finishing step.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation (COP 3.6/3.6) supplemented by 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat backup for cold-weather performance.
- EER rated 12.4 (230V) / 12.5 (208V) for cooling efficiency.
- Built-in dehumidification: 2 pints/hour.
- Fresh-air ventilation capability rated 65–95 CFM for make-up air.
- R-32 refrigerant, a lower-GWP option versus legacy refrigerants.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230V or 208V single-phase circuits via a factory-installed 6-15P power cord.
- Fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening (e.g., Amana WS900E/WS900QW sleeve family, sold separately).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire-only installations — use the PTH094J 265V commercial sibling with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 and disconnect PSHW04A instead.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings unless paired with a compatible extra-deep/oversized sleeve variant.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately from the PTH093J25AXXX chassis. This unit is designed for the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (e.g., Amana WS900E/WS900QW family), but you must order a sleeve model separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat option installed, this unit requires an MCA of 14.1A and a maximum overcurrent protection (breaker) of 15A. It ships with a factory-installed 6-15P power cord for a standard 230/208V, 15A NEMA receptacle.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. The PTH093J25AXXX is a 230/208V unit and is not rated for 265V circuits. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PTH094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A, sold separately.
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. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom-sized openings unless paired with a compatible extra-deep or oversized Amana sleeve variant.
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 spec data. Refer to the manufacturer warranty document in the Resources tab for exact installation terms.
