This is a wall-sleeve heat pump for hotel rooms, condos, or additions near saltwater environments where central ductwork isn't available and standard steel cabinets corrode too fast. It's built for property managers and coastal homeowners who need self-contained, per-room heating and cooling with extra corrosion resistance.
The PTH094J25CXXX is a 265V packaged terminal heat pump built on Amana's PTH chassis with Feature Code C seacoast corrosion protection, intended for coastal hospitality properties, marine-adjacent apartment buildings, and additions exposed to salt air. It combines heat pump heating with a 2.5 kW electric heat strip as backup for colder outdoor temperatures. 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 the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening.
- Operates on a 265V circuit; voltage range for this class is 239V minimum to 292V maximum.
- With the 2.5 kW heat strip installed: 9.7 total amps, 12.2 MCA, 15A MOP, 7-20P NEMA power cord.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — order separately (e.g., WS900SC for Seacoast triple protection, or standard WS900E/WS900QW).
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK series).
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 230/208V circuits — that voltage is served by the sibling chassis PTH093J, a different model number, not this unit.
- 265V models require an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A — sold separately, not included with this unit.
- This unit does not ship with an LCDI power cord — LCDI cords apply only to units under 250V per UL 484; 265V units use factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses instead.
On 265V seacoast installs, techs often assume the sub-base wiring is the only electrical concern and skip re-checking sleeve pitch after a coastal retrofit — that's the friction point. Salt-air environments accelerate sleeve corrosion at the drain pan faster than inland installs, and a sleeve that's lost its outward pitch will pool condensate against the drywall, turning a minor drain issue into a rot and mold claim within a season. Set the sleeve level side-to-side and pitched 1/4 bubble toward the outside using a torpedo level before securing it in the rough opening (approx. 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum high) — that 1/4-bubble pitch is the manufacturer's own framing standard, not a field guess. Confirm the sub-base or hard-wire kit disconnect (PSHW04A) is accessible per NEC disconnect-clearance requirements before final trim-out, since property management turnover inspections will flag a blocked disconnect on a 265V commercial unit.
- Heat pump heating (8,200 BTU/h) supplements the 2.5 kW electric heat strip for cold-weather backup.
- EER of 12.4 and COP of 3.5 on the base chassis.
- Removes up to 2 pints per hour of moisture during cooling operation.
- Fresh-air ventilation adjustable from 65 to 95 CFM for make-up air in tightly sealed rooms.
- R-32 refrigerant, meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.
- Seacoast Protected construction (Feature Code C) for extended service life in salt-air environments.

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, or the WS900SC Seacoast triple-protected sleeve). 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 strip installed, this 265V configuration draws 9.7 total amps, has an MCA of 12.2 amps, and requires a 15-amp maximum overcurrent protection device with factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses. It ships with a 7-20P NEMA power cord.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
Yes. All 265V Amana PTAC/PTHP models must use an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or the hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 paired with disconnect switch PSHW04A. These are sold separately and are required for code-compliant 265V installation.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes, the PTH094J chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings without the correct sleeve model.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
265V units involve sub-base or hard-wire kit installation and dedicated circuit work that should be performed by a licensed electrician per NEC requirements. Refer to the Resources tab warranty documentation for the manufacturer's specific installation and registration terms.
