This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric heater built for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't an option. It runs on a 265V commercial circuit, so it's built for property managers and electricians handling hospitality or multi-family installs — not a plug-and-play residential swap.
This PTAC is built for hospitality and multi-family properties needing self-contained, per-room climate control without central ductwork — hotel guest rooms, extended-stay units, and additions where running ducts isn't practical. All Amana PTAC units 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.
Critical Fit & Power Requirements
- Wall sleeve opening: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (matches WS900E / WS900QW and related sleeve families).
- Voltage: 265V commercial circuit only. Operating range 239V minimum to 292V maximum.
- Total amps with 2.5 kW electric heat installed: 9.7A. MCA: 12.2A. MOP: 15A.
- Power cord/plug: 7-20P, factory-installed.
- Compressor-only draw (no heat running): 3.6A / 770W. Compressor-only MCA (no heater): 4.4A — do not use this figure for breaker sizing once the 2.5 kW heater is factored in; use the 12.2A MCA / 15A MOP figures above.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Requires an Amana PTSB4**E series sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect switch (not included) — 265V units are not simple plug-in replacements.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — that voltage is covered by the sibling chassis PTC093J, not this model.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard sleeve openings outside 42 in x 16-1/16 in.
The technical friction on 265V jobs isn't the compressor — it's the sub-base and disconnect wiring feeding a fixed-position sleeve. Once the sleeve is set in the rough opening, you lose easy access to correct a bad pitch. Long-term prevention: set the sleeve level side-to-side and pitched 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall before backfilling around it, confirmed with a torpedo level, so condensate always runs to the exterior drain path instead of pooling and wicking into interior drywall. On the electrical side, verify the sub-base terminal lugs match the 12.2A MCA / 15A MOP rating from the heater performance table — not the compressor-only 4.4A figure — before you land the feed conductors. This is a property-management best practice on hospitality retrofits: mislabeled breakers at 15A-no-heater panels are a common callback when a heat-equipped chassis gets swapped in later.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW).
- Compatible with 265V commercial circuits only, within the 239V-292V operating range, via a 7-20P power cord.
- Requires an Amana PTSB4**E series sub-base or PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit with PSHW04A disconnect (sold separately) to complete the 265V installation.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — use sibling chassis PTC093J for 230/208V applications.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately (WS900E, WS900QW, WS900SC seacoast, WS900GS sound-isolation, or deep/extended variants as needed).
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately (SGK stamped, AGK extruded aluminum, or PGK polymer).

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 (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, and related Amana sleeve models).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 2.5 kW electric heat installed, this unit draws 9.7 total amps with an MCA of 12.2 amps, and requires 15-amp maximum overcurrent protection (MOP). It ships with a 7-20P power cord for 265V service.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. All 265V models must be installed with either an Amana PTSB4**E series sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hard-wire kit paired with the PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither accessory is included with this unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
This is a 265V commercial circuit requiring cartridge-style time-delay fuses and a dedicated sub-base or hard-wire kit. Installation by a licensed electrician following NEC receptacle and disconnect codes is standard practice for this voltage class. Refer to the warranty PDF in the Resources tab for exact terms.
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.
