This is a wall-sleeve heat pump air conditioner and heater for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with electric backup heat for cold-weather performance.
The PTH074J25AXXX is Amana's standard PTHP chassis, combining a heat pump compressor with 2.5 kW electric backup heat for properties needing supplemental heating below the heat pump's practical operating range. This configuration is common in hospitality corridors, additions, and multi-family units where a dedicated wall sleeve replaces central ductwork. 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 (industry-standard PTAC sleeve size).
- Voltage: 265V commercial. Minimum 239V / maximum 292V per Amana's operating range.
- Total amperage with 2.5 kW heater installed: 9.7A. MCA 12.2A. MOP (max breaker/fuse) 15A.
- Power cord/plug: 7-20P.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (e.g., Amana WS900E, WS900QW, or a deep/seacoast/sound-isolation variant matching your wall depth).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — the 230/208V version of this chassis is the PTH073J, sold as a separate model/plug configuration.
- 265V models require an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hardwire kit (PTPWHWK4) with disconnect switch (PSHW04A). Neither is included with this unit.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings — confirm sleeve depth and dimensions before ordering.
On 265V hospitality retrofits, the most common callback isn't the chassis — it's a wrong-plug receptacle installed before the unit arrives on site. Verify the NEMA 7-20 receptacle configuration against the unit's 7-20P cord using a NEMA receptacle chart before the electrician closes the wall, since 265V circuits use a different pin configuration than 230/208V rooms down the hall. Confirming this early prevents an electrical mismatch that otherwise means re-pulling wire or swapping the receptacle after drywall and trim are finished. While you're at the sleeve, set your torpedo level side-to-side and pitch it roughly 1/4 bubble toward the exterior — this keeps condensate draining outdoors instead of migrating back into the wall cavity and softening the drywall over time. Both steps line up with NEC receptacle-matching practice and standard property-management commissioning checklists for PTAC/PTHP turnover.

FAQ
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 wall sleeve opening (for example, the Amana WS900E or WS900QW sleeve families). 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 265V unit has an MCA of 12.2A, a maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) rating of 15A, and ships with a 7-20P power cord. It requires factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses at 265V per Amana's electrical notes.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes, but only with the required Amana equipment. All 265V models must be installed with either an Amana PTSB4**E sub-base or the PTPWHWK4 hardwire kit paired with the PSHW04A disconnect switch. Neither is included with this unit.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — installer licensing requirements for warranty validity are not specified in the provided source data. 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-sized sleeve openings.
