This is a wall-sleeve heat pump and electric backup heater for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions near saltwater where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners in coastal environments who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with added corrosion protection.
This unit pairs a heat pump compressor with 5.0 kW electric backup heat in a 265V commercial configuration, designed for hospitality corridors, coastal apartment buildings, and additions where central ductwork isn't practical. Seacoast Protected (Feature Code C) construction targets installs near saltwater exposure, where standard coil coatings corrode faster. 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.
- Voltage: 265V. Minimum 239V / maximum 292V operating range.
- Total amps with 5.0 kW heater installed: 19.2A. MCA: 23.9A. MOP: 25A.
- Power cord/plug: NEMA 7-30P.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or seacoast-rated WS900SC).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Required Sub-Base or Hardwire Kit is NOT included: this 265V unit must be paired with an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base OR the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch, sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — for that voltage class, see the sibling model PTH153J.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
Pro-Installer Tip: Sub-Base Wiring on 265V Chassis
The technical friction on this chassis is that 265V units cannot use the same cord-and-plug sub-base logic as a 230/208V unit — they need the Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit with the PSHW04A disconnect, and the factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses are matched to that setup. Skipping the correct sub-base, or wiring a hardwire kit without the disconnect, risks an electrical fire from mismatched overcurrent protection, not just a nuisance trip. Verify the sub-base model number against the unit's rating plate before energizing, and confirm the disconnect switch is accessible per NEC 440 requirements for HVAC equipment disconnects. On coastal properties, pair this check with a sleeve pitch inspection — a 1/4-bubble outward pitch on a Torpedo Level at the sleeve, per the standard framing diagram, keeps condensate draining outdoors instead of tracking into interior drywall.
Key Benefits
- Heat pump operation with 3.0 COP delivers efficient heating down to the unit's rated range before backup heat engages.
- 5.0 kW electric backup heat supplies 17,100 BTU/h of supplemental heating capacity at 265V for colder snaps.
- 4.4 pints/hr dehumidification helps manage humidity in coastal and hospitality environments.
- Built-in fresh air vent (65-95 CFM) supports make-up air needs in guest rooms without separate ventilation equipment.
- Seacoast Protected corrosion resistance extends service life in salt-air environments compared to standard-coating chassis.
- 10.4 EER cooling efficiency on a 14,600 BTU/h cooling capacity chassis.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening, but you will need to order a sleeve such as the WS900E, WS900QW, or the seacoast-rated WS900SC separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 5.0 kW electric heat installed, this unit requires a Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) of 23.9A and Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) of 25A on a 265V circuit. The factory power cord is a NEMA 7-30P plug configuration.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. This 265V model must use an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit paired with the PSHW04A disconnect switch. Both are sold separately and are required components for this voltage class - a standard cord-and-plug sub-base is not sufficient on its own for hardwire installs.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
This is a 265V commercial unit requiring cartridge-style time-delay fuses and a dedicated sub-base or hardwire kit. Installation by a licensed electrician and HVAC professional is strongly recommended to meet NEC code and to keep manufacturer warranty coverage intact. Full terms are in the warranty documentation on the Resources tab.
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.
Warranty & Registration
This model carries a 1-Year Repair/Replace warranty and a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty as documented on the manufacturer's warranty badge. Commercial hospitality use and residential use terms may differ; the full terms, conditions, and registration requirements are in the warranty PDF located in the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page. We recommend reviewing that document before installation — ask us before you order if anything about coverage is unclear for your application.
