The Amana PSHW Series Commercial PTAC Disconnect Switch is a code-compliant power isolation module engineered to integrate directly inside Amana PTSB and PTCB series electrical sub-bases. Designed to satisfy National Electrical Code (NEC) regulations mandating an accessible, line-of-sight power disconnect switch at the HVAC unit, the PSHW series allows service technicians and hotel maintenance staff to safely de-energize the PTAC chassis without accessing the main building circuit breaker panel.

Configured for specific line voltages (208/230V or 265V) and sub-base color schemes (Quiet White vs Black), the PSHW series mounts neatly inside the sub-base enclosure frame—delivering local high-voltage safety shutoff while maintaining a clean, cord-free room profile.

Code Compliance & Variant Selector: Essential for commercial hotel, multi-family, and healthcare projects where local electrical inspectors require a dedicated equipment disconnect switch. Select your exact line voltage (208/230V vs 265V) and sub-base color match (Quiet White vs Black) from the variant dropdown options below.

Local High-Voltage Power Isolation for Technician Safety & NEC Compliance

In commercial lodging, healthcare facilities, and multi-family developments, local building inspectors strictly enforce NEC Article 440 requirements, which dictate that a dedicated line-of-sight electrical disconnect switch must be located within reach of motorized HVAC equipment. The Amana PSHW Series Disconnect Switch provides a pre-engineered, factory-certified solution that installs directly inside the PTAC sub-base frame.

Integrated Sub-Base Mounting & Concealed Safety Engineering

  • Built-In Sub-Base Enclosure Fit: The PSHW module mounts behind the sub-base access cover plate, providing immediate, tool-accessible power isolation for service staff without exposing raw line-voltage wiring to room occupants.
  • Slashes Maintenance Turnaround Time: Enables engineering teams to instantly isolate individual PTAC units for filter changes, coil cleanings, or chassis replacement without stepping out of the room to search for main breaker panels.
  • Universal Sub-Base Compatibility: Engineered for direct fitment into all Amana PTSB and PTCB commercial steel sub-bases across 15A, 20A, and 30A circuit configurations.
  • Heavy-Duty Commercial Rocker Assembly: Heavy-gauge double-pole commercial switch mechanism built to withstand repeated high-voltage switching without contact pitting or mechanical wear.

Heavy-Duty Commercial Double-Pole Switch: Rated for high-voltage commercial inductive and resistance heating loads.

Custom Sub-Base Faceplate Included: Comes with color-matched mounting faceplate and switch guard hardware.

Direct Plug & Terminal Connections: Pre-wired wire leads simplify line-voltage connection inside the sub-base junction box.

Universal PTSB / PTCB Sub-Base Mounting: Fits all standard 42-inch Amana commercial electrical sub-bases.

Clear ON/OFF Safety Marking: Prominent visual indicators show power status at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the purpose of the Amana PSHW disconnect switch kit? +

A: The PSHW switch is a local power disconnect module that mounts inside an Amana sub-base (PTSB or PTCB series). It provides a dedicated, accessible switch to shut off high-voltage electricity directly at the PTAC unit to meet local electrical codes and ensure technician safety during maintenance.

Q2: Is the Amana PSHW disconnect switch required for all PTAC installations? +

A: While not required in every single residential layout, local commercial building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) rules often mandate a local line-of-sight disconnect switch within sight of commercial HVAC equipment in hotels, apartments, and healthcare facilities.

Q3: Which PSHW variant do I need for a Black sub-base? +

A: For any Black sub-base (such as PTSB320BK, PTSB330BK, PTSB420BK, or PTSB430BK), order the PSHW0304BK variant. It features universal voltage compatibility (208/230/265V) with a matching Black faceplate.

Q4: Where is the PSHW switch mounted on the sub-base? +

A: The PSHW switch mounts directly into the pre-punched knockout slot on the front or side cover of the Amana PTSB or PTCB sub-base enclosure, keeping wiring concealed inside the steel housing.

Q5: Can the PSHW disconnect switch be installed on a 265V PTAC unit? +

A: Yes. For 265V Quiet White sub-bases, specify the PSHW04A model. For 265V Black sub-bases, specify the PSHW0304BK model.
