This is a wall-sleeve heat pump system for hotel rooms, apartments, condos, or additions near saltwater environments where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with added corrosion protection for coastal exposure.
This PTH153J25CXXX unit is a factory seacoast corrosion-protected (Feature Code C) heat pump built on the Amana PTH153J chassis, suited for hospitality properties, coastal residential additions, and multi-family units where salt-air exposure accelerates cabinet and coil corrosion on standard equipment. All units in this family 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.
- Wall sleeve opening: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (rough framing opening approx. 42-1/4 in x 16-1/4 in minimum).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Min 197V / Max 253V operating range.
- Amperage with heat strip installed: MCA 14.1A, MOP (breaker) 15A.
- Power cord/plug: 6-15P, factory-installed with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and is sold separately (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or WS900SC seacoast-protected sleeve).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and is sold separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not for 265V hardwire-only applications. The 265V commercial sibling of this chassis is PTH154J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A. None of that hardware applies to or is compatible with this 230/208V unit.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard sleeve openings outside 42 in x 16-1/16 in unless a deep/custom sleeve variant is used.
- Heat pump operation with 2.5/2.1 kW auxiliary electric heat backup for cold-snap performance below the heat pump's effective range.
- EER of 10.4/10.6 and COP of 3.1/3.1 on this chassis, per the manufacturer performance table.
- Built-in dehumidification rated at 4.4 pints/hr.
- Fresh-air ventilation CFM of 65-95 for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms.
- Seacoast corrosion protection (Feature Code C) for coastal and high-humidity commercial installs.
- R-32 refrigerant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in sleeve opening (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or the WS900SC seacoast triple-protected sleeve). The exterior architectural grille is also sold separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip installed, this unit requires a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 14.1A, a Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 15A, and uses a 6-15P power cord and plug. Total heater amps are 11.2/10.1A at 230V/208V.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This model is a 230/208V unit and ships with a factory-installed LCDI power cord per UL 484, not a hardwire configuration. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is a separate model, PTH154J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A. Do not attempt to hardwire this 230/208V unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
Exact installation and warranty-validation requirements are detailed in the manufacturer warranty documentation. Refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for the full terms before installation.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening. The rough framing opening should measure approximately 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high, with the sleeve extending a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the outside wall.
This unit carries the manufacturer's standard commercial warranty structure: 1-Year Repair/Replace and 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty on the sealed system, per the badge assets provided. Terms may differ between residential and commercial hospitality usage. Exact coverage language, exclusions, and registration steps are detailed in the warranty PDF. Refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page for the full warranty document before purchase or installation.
