This is a wall-sleeve heat pump and backup-heat system for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners near coastal or high-corrosion environments who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with factory corrosion protection.
The PTH093J25CXXX is a packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built on Amana's PTH chassis, combining a heat pump compressor with a 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip for backup and supplemental heating. This "C" feature-code configuration includes Amana's seacoast corrosion-protection treatment, intended for coastal hospitality properties, oceanfront residential buildings, and other high-salinity environments where standard coil coatings degrade faster. Rated performance meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1. 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.
- Voltage: 230/208V — confirmed dual-rated for both 230V and 208V circuits.
- Electric heat draw: 11.2/10.1 total amps (230V/208V); MCA 14.1A; MOP 15A.
- Power cord: factory-installed 6-15P NEMA plug on an LCDI power cord per UL 484 (unit operates under 250V — this is not a 265V hardwire unit).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included. Both must be ordered separately (e.g., WS900E/WS900QW sleeve, SGK/AGK/PGK grille family).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V commercial circuits. The 265V sibling chassis is the PTH094J, which requires an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect — none of which apply to this 230/208V unit.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings — confirm existing sleeve dimensions before ordering.
The technical friction on any PTHP retrofit is condensate management — the wall sleeve has to shed water to the exterior, not pool against the interior drywall. Pitch the sleeve 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall using a torpedo level before securing it in the rough opening (approx. 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high per the framing diagram). This prevents water intrusion into the wall cavity and drywall rot over time, which is the most common warranty-voiding failure on PTAC/PTHP sleeve installs. Confirm final pitch with a torpedo level on both the sleeve base rail and the chassis rail before running the unit — don't eyeball it. This matches standard property management commissioning checklists for terminal HVAC units and helps document a defensible install if a water-intrusion claim ever comes up.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation (EER 12.4/12.5, COP 3.6/3.6) reduces electric-heat-strip runtime in moderate outdoor temperatures compared to heat-strip-only PTAC units.
- 2 pints/hr of dehumidification at rated conditions helps manage humidity in guest rooms without a separate dehumidifier.
- Vent CFM range of 65-95 supports fresh-air/make-up-air introduction for code-required ventilation in hospitality applications.
- Seacoast corrosion protection (feature code C) is factory-applied, not a field retrofit — relevant for coastal exposure ratings.
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat backup sized for supplemental heat, not primary heat, in most climates — pair heating-load expectations accordingly.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via factory-installed NEMA 6-15P plug.
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, WS900SC).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V circuits — the 265V commercial sibling chassis is the PTH094J, which needs an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK families).
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings; verify dimensions first.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The PTH093J25CXXX chassis ships separately from the wall sleeve. It fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in sleeve opening (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or WS900SC for seacoast environments). The exterior architectural grille is also sold separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip installed, this unit has an MCA of 14.1 amps and requires a 15-amp maximum overcurrent protection device. It ships with a 6-15P NEMA plug on an LCDI power cord (UL 484), since it operates under 250V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V model and is not rated for 265V circuits. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PTH094J, which requires an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with a PSHW04A disconnect switch — neither of which apply to or is included with this 230/208V unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — installer qualification requirements are not confirmed in the provided source files. Refer to the manufacturer warranty document in the Resources tab for exact installation requirements.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for custom or non-standard sleeve openings — verify existing sleeve dimensions before ordering.
