This is a wall-sleeve heat pump for hotel rooms, apartments, condos, or additions where central ductwork isn't available — built with added corrosion protection for coastal or seacoast properties. It's suited for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling in a salt-air environment.
The PTH093J35CXXX is a packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built on the Amana PTH chassis, with feature code C indicating seacoast corrosion protection for coastal hospitality and residential properties. 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: Industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (WS900E / WS900QW family).
- Voltage: 230/208V — not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Amperage: MCA 19.5A, MOP (breaker size) 20A, based on the 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat strip configuration.
- NEMA Plug Type: 6-20P power cord, factory-installed with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — sold separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK options).
- Not compatible with 265V circuits or hardwire-only applications; that configuration requires the 265V PTH094J commercial sibling with an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit and PSHW04A disconnect — none of which apply to this 230/208V unit.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings; confirm sleeve model before ordering.
The technical friction on nearly every PTAC/PTHP callback isn't the chassis — it's the sleeve. If the sleeve isn't pitched correctly, condensate backs up into the wall cavity instead of draining outside. Set the sleeve level side-to-side, then pitch it approximately 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall using a torpedo level — this keeps water moving out through the drain path instead of wicking into drywall or insulation over a cooling season. Verify the rough opening at roughly 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in high minimum before setting the sleeve, and confirm the sleeve extends at least 1/4 in beyond the exterior wall face per the manufacturer framing diagram. On the electrical side, match the 6-20P cord to a properly wired NEMA 6-20R receptacle — don't force-fit a 5-20 or 6-15 receptacle — and verify the circuit is protected at 20A per the MOP rating. This is standard property-management practice for avoiding both water-intrusion callbacks and NEC receptacle mismatches on turnover units.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation delivers 8,200/8,000 BTU/h of heating capacity from the compressor alone (230V/208V), reducing reliance on electric heat strip in moderate climates.
- 3.5/3.0 kW backup electric heat strip boosts total heating output to 12,000 BTU/h (230V) or 9,900 BTU/h (208V) in colder conditions.
- EER of 12.4/12.5 and COP of 3.6/3.6 reflect verified efficiency ratings for this cooling/heating configuration.
- Built-in dehumidification rated at 2 pints/hr helps manage humidity in guest rooms and living spaces.
- Fresh-air ventilation CFM range of 65-95 supports make-up air needs in enclosed rooms.
- Seacoast corrosion protection (feature code C) extends component life in coastal, high-salinity environments.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via NEMA 6-20 plug configuration.
- Fits industry-standard 42-inch x 16-1/16-inch wall sleeve openings (WS900E / WS900QW and compatible variants).
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately (standard, seacoast, sound-isolation, or deep-sleeve variants available).
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK options).

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42-inch wide x 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening (WS900E / WS900QW family), but you must order a sleeve and, if needed, an exterior grille separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V configuration with the 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat strip has a total MCA of 19.5 amps and an MOP (breaker size) of 20 amps. It ships with a 6-20P power cord for a matching NEMA 6-20R receptacle.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V model, not a 265V unit. It is not compatible with 265V circuits and does not use the Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit, which apply only to 265V models such as the PTH094J commercial sibling.
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 source data. 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 fits the industry-standard 42-inch wide x 16-1/16-inch high wall sleeve opening. The rough framing opening should be approximately 42-1/4 inches wide x 16-1/4 inches high minimum, per the manufacturer framing diagram.
