This is a wall-sleeve heat pump air conditioner and heater for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and electricians who need a 265V, self-contained per-room heating and cooling unit and know exactly what circuit they're wiring it into.
This unit is a heat pump PTAC (PTHP) from the Amana R-410A K-series, positioned for hospitality retrofits, additions, and multi-family properties where a self-contained 265V heating and cooling chassis is required. It draws on heat pump operation for primary heating with 3.7 kW electric heat strip backup for colder conditions, and it meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency requirements. 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 (rough opening approx. 42-1/4 in x 16-1/4 in minimum).
- Voltage: 265V. Voltage operating range 239V minimum / 292V maximum.
- Total heater amperage: 14.2A. MCA: 17.9A. MOP: 20A. Power cord/plug: NEMA 7-20P.
- Compressor-only draw: 3.6A cooling (765W) / 3.6A heating (705W).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits. The 230/208V version of this chassis is the Amana PTH093J — do not order this 265V unit for a 230/208V circuit or vice versa.
- This 265V unit requires an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included.
- This unit does NOT ship with an LCDI power cord — LCDI cords apply only to units rated under 250V. This 265V unit ships with factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses instead.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
The technical friction on 265V hospitality jobs isn't the chassis — it's the sub-base wiring and the sleeve pitch working together. Once the PTSB4**E sub-base (or PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit) is landed and the disconnect terminated, check the sleeve pitch before you set the chassis: a 1/4-bubble pitch to the outside on a torpedo level is the standard here, and it's what keeps condensate draining out through the drain kit (DK900D or DK900QW, matched to your sleeve model) instead of backing up into the wall cavity behind the drywall. On a 265V circuit, water intrusion at the sub-base terminal block is an electrical fire risk, not just a drywall repair — so pitch verification isn't optional on this voltage class. Confirm your fuse and disconnect sizing against NEC Article 440 and the unit's 17.9A MCA / 20A MOP rating before energizing, and log it on the property's PM electrical checklist so the next tech isn't guessing at what's behind the grille.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation (COP 3.4) reduces electric heat strip runtime in mild-to-moderate outdoor conditions compared to heat-strip-only PTAC units.
- EER 11.8 cooling efficiency, meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1.
- Built-in dehumidification of up to 2 pints/hour during cooling operation.
- Fresh-air ventilation CFM range of 65-95 for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms.
- Uses R-410A refrigerant — a like-for-like match for existing R-410A PTAC/PTHP installations undergoing replacement, ahead of the EPA AIM Act phase-down.
- 1-stage 3.7 kW electric heat backup rated to 12,600 BTU/h at 265V for supplemental heating capacity beyond the heat pump's 8,200 BTU/h.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. This PTHP requires a wall sleeve (industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high) that is sold separately. Sleeves are typically installed during construction, before the chassis arrives.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 265V unit with 3.7 kW electric heat has a total MCA of 17.9A and requires a 20A circuit (MOP 20A). It ships with a 7-20P power cord. Total heater amperage is 14.2A.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. All 265V models, including this one, must use either an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included with the chassis. This unit ships with factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses; it does not use an LCDI cord, since LCDI cords apply only to units under 250V.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V units involve hardwire or sub-base electrical connections at commercial voltage levels. Proper installation per NEC code and the Amana installation manual is required. Refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for exact warranty terms and 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 x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
