Hatco CSSBR-3618 Remote Built-In Simulated Stone Cold Shelf with Condensing Unit, 36" x 18" Usable, 120V
Description
A built-in simulated stone cold shelf with a separate condensing unit, so fabricators can place the refrigeration where the counter design needs it.
The Hatco CSSBR-3618 is a remote cold shelf with a 36" x 18" Swanstone simulated stone cooled surface that mounts from below, flush to the countertop. The 1/5 HP condensing unit, control box and TXV valve ship loose for field installation, with up to 50 ft. of refrigerant line between condensing unit and shelf. The condensing unit uses R-513A and has a sight glass, service valves, dryer/filter and receiver for service.

Remote condensing unit
The 1/5 HP R-513A condensing unit ships loose, with a sight glass, service valves, dryer/filter and receiver. Hatco ships the condenser without refrigerant charge.
Thermal break
A patented thermal break cuts condensation and cold transfer onto the countertop around the shelf.
Swanstone surface
Foodsafe Swanstone simulated stone in Ash Gray, with Birch or Ice at no charge when ordered. It matches the Hatco GRSSB heated stone shelves.
Digital control box
An electronic temperature control box with on/off switch comes on a 4 ft. lead wire, so it can mount on the cabinet front away from the shelf. Auto-defrost can be set on site.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Approximate shipping weight is 139 lb. The shelf arrives in a shipping frame; keep it in the frame until the counter and cabinet are ready.
- The shelf, control box, condensing unit and TXV valve arrive as separate pieces. A refrigeration technician brazes the lines and a qualified electrician makes the power connection at the control box.
- Install indoors, at cabinet air between 65°F and 86°F, with louvered openings in front of and behind the condensing unit.
- Seal the shelf to the countertop with NSF-approved silicone sealant rated for -10°F to 250°F.
Questions buyers ask
What size counter cutout does it need?
Cut 36.375" wide x 18.375" deep with 3/8" corner radii. The overall shelf with brackets is 39" x 21".
How is it powered?
120V, 60 Hz, single phase, 300 W and 3.8 A. Hatco lists no cord and plug, so an electrician wires the supply into the control box, which then powers the condensing unit.
How far away can the condensing unit go?
Up to 50 ft. of refrigerant line between the condensing unit and the shelf. Leave at least 2" between the condensing unit and any combustible surface.
What refrigerant does it use?
The CSSBR condensing unit uses R-513A. Hatco ships it without refrigerant, so the installing technician charges the system on site.
What options are there?
At order time only: Birch or Ice Swanstone instead of standard Ash Gray at no charge, and an additional 4-year parts-only compressor warranty. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco's remote cold shelf manual states a standard one year parts and on-site labor warranty, with 24/7 parts and service help in the US and Canada. An extra 4-year parts-only compressor warranty can be bought with the unit.
