This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric-heat unit built for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't an option. It's designed for property managers and commercial buyers running 265V circuits who need self-contained, per-room climate control.
This PTAC/electric-heat configuration is intended for hospitality and multifamily properties running 265V branch circuits - hotel corridors, additions, and renovation projects where a dedicated sub-base or hardwire termination is already part of the electrical plan. Amana PTAC chassis are tested to meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency guidelines. 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 (industry-standard PTAC sleeve, e.g. WS900E / WS900QW).
- Voltage: 265V. Voltage operating range for 265V models is 239V minimum to 292V maximum.
- Electric heat: 3.7 kW, single stage, rated 12,600 BTU/h heating output at 265V.
- Total amps with heater: 14.2A. MCA with heater: 17.9A. Maximum overcurrent protection (MOP): 20A.
- Plug/cord: NEMA 7-20P power cord, factory-installed.
- 265V models require factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses and must be paired with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hardwire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits - the 230/208V version of this chassis is sold as model PTC093J.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard sleeve openings - this chassis is built for the 42 in x 16-1/16 in standard opening only.
The most common callback on 265V PTAC jobs isn't the compressor - it's condensate backing up into the wall cavity because the sleeve was set level instead of pitched. Set the sleeve with a slight outward pitch, roughly 1/4 bubble toward the exterior wall on a torpedo level, so gravity carries condensate to the outdoor coil and weep path instead of pooling against the drywall. On the electrical side, verify the receptacle or hardwire termination matches a NEMA 7-20P configuration before the sleeve goes in - swapping a 265V sub-base for a 230/208V receptacle after drywall is closed is a rework job nobody wants. Cross-check the receptacle configuration against a NEMA Receptacle Chart before rough-in. For property managers, document the sub-base model number and disconnect location in the unit's maintenance file; it's standard practice for multi-unit hospitality properties and keeps future service calls from guessing at the electrical configuration behind the wall.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings (compatible with WS900E, WS900QW, and related Amana 265V-rated sleeve models).
- Compatible with 265V circuits only, via factory-installed NEMA 7-20P power cord, when paired with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hardwire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits - use sibling model PTC093J for a 230/208V version of this chassis.
- Wall sleeve is NOT included - must be ordered separately.
- Exterior architectural grille is NOT included - must be ordered separately.
- Not a drop-in fit for custom or non-standard sleeve openings; requires the standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in rough opening.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42-inch by 16-1/16-inch sleeve opening (WS900E, WS900QW, or related Amana sleeve models).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
With the 3.7 kW electric heat strip installed, this unit has a total MCA of 17.9A and requires 20A maximum overcurrent protection (MOP). It ships with a NEMA 7-20P power cord for 265V circuits.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. This 265V unit must be installed with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the hardwire kit PTPWHWK4 paired with disconnect switch PSHW04A. Neither the sub-base nor the disconnect kit is included with the unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V installations involve dedicated circuits, factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses, and sub-base or hardwire termination. This work should be performed by a licensed electrician following NEC guidelines. Full warranty terms are in the manufacturer documentation - see the Resources tab.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is built for the industry-standard 42-inch wide by 16-1/16-inch high sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
