This is a wall-sleeve heat pump for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and commercial operators who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling on a 265V electrical circuit.
This PTHP unit pairs a heat pump compressor with 2.5 kW of electric backup heat for use in hospitality, multifamily, and commercial additions where a heat pump's efficiency is preferred over straight electric resistance heat. It operates on a 265V commercial circuit and is not interchangeable with 230/208V building electrical systems. 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.
- Fits a standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening.
- Operates on a 265V circuit; requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A.
- Ships with a factory NEMA 7-20P power cord rated to the 9.7A total amp draw with the 2.5 kW heater installed.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- 265V Sub-Base or Hard-Wire Kit with disconnect is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage, see sibling model PTH153J.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings; verify existing opening dimensions before ordering.
On 265V PTHP retrofits, the technical friction point is almost never the chassis — it's matching the sub-base receptacle configuration to the correct NEMA 7-20 pattern before the drywall crew closes up the opening. If the sub-base is wired to the wrong receptacle pattern, you'll either strand the unit on delivery day or force a field splice that voids the factory cord's UL 484 listing. Confirm the sub-base's receptacle against a NEMA Receptacle Chart at rough-in, not at trim-out. While you're in the wall opening, set a torpedo level across the sleeve and pitch it approximately 1/4 bubble toward the exterior — this keeps condensate draining outward through the chassis pan instead of pooling against interior drywall, which is the leading cause of PTAC/PTHP water-damage callbacks. Document both the receptacle match and the sleeve pitch on the rough-in inspection sheet; most property management groups treat this as a standard pre-drywall QA checkpoint on hospitality retrofits, alongside standard NEC receptacle code sign-off.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation (COP 3.0) draws less electric-heat runtime than straight-resistance PTAC units in mild-to-moderate outdoor conditions.
- 4.4 pints/hr of dehumidification at rated conditions helps manage humidity in guest rooms and multifamily units.
- Built-in fresh-air ventilation adjustable from 65-95 CFM for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms.
- 10.4 EER cooling efficiency on the compressor circuit.
- Single-stage 2.5 kW electric backup heat engages only when heat pump capacity (8,500 BTU/h at 265V during resistance-heat operation, 14,100 BTU/h heat-pump-rated) needs supplementing in colder conditions.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings (rough opening approximately 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high).
- Compatible with dedicated 265V circuits only, via NEMA 7-20P plug when paired with the required Amana sub-base or hard-wire kit.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for a 230/208V version of this chassis, see sibling model PTH153J.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or seacoast-rated WS900SC).
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- 265V Sub-Base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A NOT included — required for installation, order separately.
- Not a drop-in replacement for non-standard or custom-depth sleeve openings; deep sleeve variants (16-40 in) are separate SKUs.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. This chassis fits a standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening, but the sleeve (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or WS900SC for seacoast applications) is sold separately. The exterior architectural grille is also sold separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5 kW electric heat installed, this unit requires a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 12.2A and Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 15A on a 265V circuit. It ships with a factory NEMA 7-20P power cord.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. All 265V models must use an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A. These accessories are not included with the chassis and must be ordered separately. Factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses are used on 265V models.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V circuits and the associated sub-base/hard-wire kit installation involve commercial electrical work. Refer to the Resources (System Manuals and Warranty) tab for the manufacturer's exact installation and licensing requirements.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes, this chassis is built to the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening. The rough framing opening should be approximately 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high, per the manufacturer framing diagram.
