This is a wall-sleeve heat pump for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions near coastal air where standard finishes corrode too fast. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with extra protection against salt-air corrosion.
The PTH123J25CXXX is a packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) built on Amana's PTH chassis, intended for hospitality corridors, multifamily buildings, and additions where ductwork isn't practical. This unit carries Amana's Seacoast (feature code C) corrosion-protection package, aimed at coastal properties where salt air degrades standard cabinet and coil finishes faster than inland installs. 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 (fits WS900E, WS900QW, WS900SC seacoast sleeve, and related standard-depth sleeves).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Operating range 197V minimum to 253V maximum.
- Amperage (with 2.5/2.1 kW heater installed): 11.2A at 230V / 10.1A at 208V total amps; MCA 14.1A; MOP 15A.
- Power cord/plug: Factory-installed 6-15P NEMA plug with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and is sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and is sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V household circuits.
- Not for 265V hardwire or sub-base applications — this is a 230/208V configuration. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is the PTH124J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect (not applicable to this unit).
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard sleeve openings; deep or extended-depth sleeve variants must be ordered separately if your rough opening differs from standard.
The technical friction on any PTAC/PTHP retrofit is condensate drainage through a sleeve that looks level but isn't. Even a slight backward pitch toward the building lets water pool at the rear of the sleeve instead of draining outdoors, and over a heating season that moisture works into the surrounding drywall and framing. Set the sleeve level side-to-side and pitch it roughly 1/4 bubble toward the exterior using a torpedo level before securing it — this matches Amana's own framing guidance for a sleeve that extends at least 1/4 inch beyond the outside wall face. On seacoast installs like this Feature Code C unit, also confirm the sleeve model matches the corrosion package (WS900SC for full seacoast triple protection) rather than mixing a standard WS900E sleeve with a seacoast chassis — a mismatch here voids the point of the upgrade. Document the pitch check on your commissioning sheet; it's a standard property-management best practice for avoiding callback claims on hidden water damage.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation delivers 11,000/10,800 BTU/h of heating (230V/208V) with a COP of 3.3/3.3, reducing reliance on electric-resistance heat in moderate outdoor temperatures.
- 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip provides backup heating capacity of 8,500 BTU/h (230V) / 6,800 BTU/h (208V) when the heat pump alone can't meet load.
- Dehumidification rate of 1.7 pints/hour helps manage humidity in occupied rooms without oversizing the cooling cycle.
- Fresh air ventilation adjustable from 65-95 CFM supports make-up air needs in hotel and multifamily corridors.
- Seacoast corrosion protection (Feature Code C) extends service life in coastal, high-salinity air compared to standard-finish chassis.
- EER of 11.5/11.5 provides a documented efficiency baseline for cooling-mode energy comparisons.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This PTHP chassis fits the industry-standard 42-inch wide x 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or the seacoast-rated WS900SC), but the sleeve and exterior grille both ship separately from the unit.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This configuration ships with a factory 6-15P power cord rated for 230/208V circuits, with a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 14.1A and a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 15A. Total amps draw is 11.2A at 230V / 10.1A at 208V with the electric heater running.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This model is a 230/208V unit and is not rated for 265V circuits. It is not compatible with a 265V sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit. If you need a 265V commercial version of this chassis, refer to the sibling model PTH124J.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
Refer to the manufacturer warranty document in the Resources tab for the exact installation requirements tied to warranty validity. [NEEDS VERIFICATION]
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42-inch wide x 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom-depth openings without selecting the corresponding deep or custom sleeve variant.
