This is a wall-sleeve heat pump system for hotel rooms, apartments, additions, or offices where central ductwork isn't available. It cools, heats via heat pump, and adds electric backup heat for cold snaps — one self-contained unit per room, built for property managers and homeowners who need independent climate control room-by-room.
This PTH093J35AXXX is Amana's standard-feature 9,000 BTU packaged terminal heat pump, combining compressor-driven heating with 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat backup for cold-weather performance beyond the heat pump's operating range. It's suited to hospitality corridors, additions, and multi-family units where a heat pump reduces electric heat runtime compared to heat-strip-only PTAC systems. The unit meets or exceeds 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: industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (fits WS900E / WS900QW standard sleeve series)
- Voltage: 230/208V — compatible with 230V or 208V circuits within the 197V–253V allowable range
- Amperage: MCA 19.5A, MOP 20A (with 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat installed)
- Power cord: factory-installed 6-20P plug, LCDI power cord per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V)
- 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 circuits — the 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PTH094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A (not included)
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings outside 42 in x 16-1/16 in
The technical friction on every PTHP retrofit is condensate: the wall sleeve has to shed water outward, not let it pool against the drywall behind the chassis. Left level or pitched inward, condensate backs up under the unit and wicks into the wall cavity over a season or two, showing up later as soft drywall or mold behind the sleeve flange. Pitch the sleeve 1/4 bubble toward the exterior wall using a torpedo level set on the sleeve's base rail before you fasten it — that quarter-bubble is the standard reference, not a guess, and it's the same pitch reference called out on the manufacturer's framing diagram. For property managers running multiple rooms, this is worth a five-minute check per install log entry: it's cheaper than a drywall repair ticket eighteen months out, and it keeps the sleeve installation consistent with the framing rough-opening spec (42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high) that Amana designs the chassis tolerance around.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits an industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening (WS900E/WS900QW series), but you need to order the sleeve and exterior grille as separate line items.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat installed, this configuration has an MCA of 19.5A and requires a 20A breaker (MOP). It ships with a factory-installed 6-20P power cord rated for a 230/208V, 20A NEMA 6-20 receptacle.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This 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 switch PSHW04A, sold separately.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — installer licensing requirements for warranty validity are not specified in the provided spec 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. This chassis is built for 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 sleeve openings.
Warranty & Registration
Amana backs this unit with a 1-Year Repair/Replace warranty and a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty, per the manufacturer's published warranty badge terms. Commercial hospitality use versus residential use may carry different terms or limitations — the exact language, registration steps, and any usage exclusions are documented in the warranty PDF under the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above. Review that document before install, and ask us before you order if anything in your specific application (hospitality corridor, multi-family, single residence) isn't clear.
