PTAC INSTALLATION

PTACs are commonly installed in window walls and masonry walls, and come in 3 standard dimensions , which include 42×16 inches, 36x15 inches, and 40x15 inches. 

PTACs are used mostly to heat or cool a single living space using only electricity with resistive or heat pump heating.  There are cooling-only PTACs that can assist with external heating through a hydronic heating  or natural gas heating coil.  Typical PTAC heating and cooling capacity values range from 2 to 5.5 kilowatts (7,000–19,000 BTU/h). 

One characteristic of PTACs is that condensate drain piping is not required because the condensate water extracted from the air by the evaporator coil is drawn by the condenser fan onto the condenser coil surface where it evaporates.  Conventional PTACs still require condensate drain piping to be installed.
