Hatco CSSBX-3618 Remote Built-In Simulated Stone Cold Shelf, Control Box Only, 36" x 18" Usable, 120V
Description
A built-in simulated stone cold shelf without a condensing unit, made to connect to refrigeration supplied by others.
The Hatco CSSBX-3618 is a remote cold shelf with a 36" x 18" Swanstone simulated stone cooled surface that mounts from below, flush to the countertop. It has no condenser: Hatco supplies the shelf with temperature probe, an attached liquid line solenoid valve, a loose control box and a TXV valve, and the shelf can be cooled with other refrigerants. The evaporator load is 1,347 BTU/hr, which your refrigeration contractor sizes the remote system for.

Your refrigeration
No condenser is included, so the shelf can run on a remote or rack system using other refrigerants. A liquid line solenoid valve is attached to the shelf; evaporator load is 1,347 BTU/hr.
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 99 lb. The shelf arrives in a shipping frame; keep it in the frame until the counter and cabinet are ready.
- The shelf, control box 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 supplied by others.
- Seal the shelf to the countertop with NSF-approved silicone sealant rated for -10°F to 250°F.
