Amana WS900QW PTAC Wall Sleeve – 42" x 16-1/16" x 14-1/8", Quiet White
The Amana WS900QW is the standard-depth, insulated metal wall sleeve built to house Amana packaged terminal air conditioners and PTAC heat pumps. Its 42-inch wide by 16-1/16-inch high opening and 14-1/8-inch depth follow the industry-standard PTAC footprint, and the Quiet White finish blends cleanly into guest rooms, apartments, and offices. Every sleeve ships with a weather board, so contractors can set sleeves during framing and close the opening until the PTAC unit arrives. That makes the WS900QW a good fit for hotel developers, multifamily builders, property maintenance teams, and HVAC installers who need a reliable through-the-wall foundation for Amana PTAC equipment.
Is the Standard-Depth WS900QW the Right Wall Sleeve?
The WS900QW is sized for typical exterior wall assemblies where a 14-1/8-inch sleeve depth spans the wall and leaves the PTAC chassis positioned correctly on both the room side and the outdoor side. It is the default sleeve Amana lists for its standard PTAC installations, so it suits most new hotel builds, apartment projects, and like-for-like replacement of worn 42-inch sleeves.
Before ordering, measure the finished wall thickness, including interior drywall, framing or block, sheathing, and exterior cladding. Thick masonry walls, window-wall systems, and coastal sites may call for a different sleeve. Also confirm which condensate drain method your local code allows, because that affects which drain kit you install with the sleeve.
Ideal for: Hotel and motel guest rooms, apartments and condos, senior living communities, dormitories, and office suites using Amana PTAC air conditioners or PTAC heat pumps in standard-thickness exterior walls.
Need a deeper or different sleeve? Amana also offers collapsible extra-deep sleeves (WS9__QW-C) from 16" to 40" deep, an internal-drain version for window-wall installs, and a heavy sound isolation sleeve. Request a quote on an extra-deep Amana PTAC sleeve.
Wall sleeve selection depends on wall thickness, wall construction, condensate drain method, local building codes, and the PTAC model being installed. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of the Amana WS900QW wall sleeve?
The WS900QW measures 42" wide x 16-1/16" high x 14-1/8" deep. Amana lists 14-1/8" as its standard, industry-standard sleeve depth.
Can the WS900QW be installed before the PTAC unit arrives?
Yes. Amana ships the WS900QW with a weather board, and the sleeve can ship separately from the unit. Contractors can set sleeves during framing and keep the openings closed until the PTAC chassis goes in.
Which condensate drain kit works with the WS900QW?
Amana specifies the DK900QW condensate drain kit for WS900QW sleeves. It can drain outdoors from either rear corner of the sleeve, or indoors through the bottom of the sleeve to a building drain, depending on what local code allows.
What if my exterior wall is thicker than 14-1/8 inches?
Amana offers collapsible extra-deep sleeves (WS9__QW-C) in depths from 16" to 24", plus 28", 30", 32", 36", and 40". Custom extra-deep sleeves are also available. Request a quote and include your wall thickness.
Does the WS900QW come with an outdoor grille?
No. The sleeve includes a weather board for construction, but the exterior grille is sold separately. The Amana SGK01B aluminum-finish grille is sized for standard 42" x 16" PTAC openings.
Is there a WS900QW version for coastal or noise-sensitive buildings?
Amana lists a WS900QW-GS heavy sound isolation sleeve, and seacoast-protected sleeve options are also available. Amana's own listings for these variants are inconsistent, so contact Budget Heating to confirm the right model before ordering.
