  • Page 8 General Information Unit Accessories This unit is designed for through- the-wall installation in new or existing buildings. To complete the installation of this PTAC, an insulated wall sleeve and an outdoor grille (either the stamped aluminum grille or the architectural grille) are required.
  • Page 9: Performance Data

    **Approximately 95 cfm with optional power vent kit. Actual vent cfm performance will vary due to application and installation conditions. Notes: 1. All 265 volt models must use Trane’s subbase or Trane’s hard-wire junction box kit. 2. Minimum branch circuit ampacity ratings conform to the National Electric Code. However, local codes should apply.
  • Page 10 Notes: 1. All 265 volt models must use Trane’s subbase or Trane’s hard-wire junction box kit. 2. Heating capacity and efficiency is based on unit operation without condensate pump. Unit automatically switches to electric heat at 25°F outdoor coil temperature. Depending upon relative humidity conditions, this will occur at approximately 35°F outdoor ambient temperature.
  • Page 11 3. Overcurrent protection for all units without electric heaters is 15 amps. Overcurrent protection on 265 volt models must be cartridge-style time delay fuses (included and factory installed on Trane chassis). 4. Total watts for 7,000 and 9,000 Btu models; add 70 watts for size 12 and for size 15.
