This is a wall-sleeve heat pump and backup-heat system for hotel rooms, apartments, additions, or offices where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling in one chassis.
The PTH093J50AXXX is a 9,000 BTU packaged terminal heat pump built for hospitality rooms, multifamily units, and additions where a self-contained per-zone system replaces central ductwork. It combines a heat pump compressor with a 5.0/4.1 kW electric heat strip for backup heating in cold-weather cutout conditions, and it 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: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (rough framing opening approx. 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Voltage operating range: minimum 197V / maximum 253V.
- Amperage: MCA 27.6A, MOP (maximum overcurrent protection) 30A, with the 5.0/4.1 kW heat strip installed.
- NEMA plug type: 6-30P, factory-installed with LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) device per UL 484, standard for all units under 250V.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — sold separately (WS900E / WS900QW or accessory sleeve models).
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — sold separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V electrical circuits.
- Not for 265V hardwire-only applications. The 265V commercial sibling is chassis PTH094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A — none of which apply to or are included with this 230/208V unit.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
On retrofit jobs, the recurring failure point isn't the chassis — it's the sleeve. A sleeve installed dead level, or worse, pitched toward the building interior, lets condensate track back along the sleeve floor into the drywall and subfloor instead of draining outside. Set your pitch with a torpedo level: aim for roughly a 1/4-bubble slope toward the exterior wall, confirmed at both the front and rear of the sleeve before you fasten it off. This single step prevents the slow-leak drywall rot and mold claims that show up 12-18 months after a rushed install — the kind of callback that costs far more than the ten minutes it takes to check level. On the electrical side, verify the receptacle matches the NEMA 6-30P cord on this unit before rough-in; a mismatched receptacle forces an on-site swap that delays occupancy. Confirming both items against the sleeve framing diagram and a NEMA receptacle chart during rough-in, not after drywall, is standard property-management practice for occupied hospitality and multifamily buildings.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation with electric heat backup covers both cooling and heating from a single chassis — no separate heat-only or cool-only equipment needed.
- Dehumidification rated at 2 pints per hour, useful in humid climates or shoulder-season conditions.
- Ventilation (fresh-air/make-up air) adjustable from 65 to 95 CFM.
- EER rated 12.4/12.5 and COP rated 3.6/3.6 (230V/208V), giving a documented efficiency baseline for comparison against other PTHP chassis.
- R-32 refrigerant, a lower-GWP option relative to older PTAC/PTHP refrigerants.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Compatible with 230/208V electrical circuits via a NEMA 6-30P power cord.
- Fits standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings (WS900E / WS900QW and compatible sleeve family).
- Not compatible with 115V electrical circuits.
- Not suitable for 265V hardwire-only applications; that configuration is served by the separate PTH094J chassis with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 and disconnect PSHW04A.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately.

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 (WS900E / WS900QW family). The exterior architectural grille is also sold separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V configuration with the 5.0/4.1 kW electric heat strip requires an MCA of 27.6A and a maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) of 30A. It ships with a NEMA 6-30P power cord and factory-installed LCDI device per UL 484.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is the 230/208V configuration and is not rated for 265V circuits. The 265V commercial sibling chassis is PTH094J, which requires an Amana brand sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A, none of which are included with this unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
Electrical circuit work should be performed to NEC code by a qualified electrician. Refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for the manufacturer's exact installation and warranty terms.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis fits 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.
