Hatco CWBX-5 Remote Refrigerated Drop-In Cold Well, Well and Control Panel Only, 5 Full-Size Pans
Description
A 5-pan cold well without its own compressor, built to run off a condensing unit you already have or supply.
The Hatco CWBX-5 is a remote refrigerated drop-in well for 5 full-size 12" x 20" pans. It comes with a solenoid valve attached to the well, a control panel on 9 ft. probe wires and a TXV valve shipped loose. There is no condensing unit: it connects to a customer-supplied one, sized for an evaporator load of 1530 BTU/hr.

Measure the counter: the cutout sizes above are what the well drops into, and the counter must be level for draining.
Remote layout
No condensing unit is included, so several wells can share a central or existing condensing system.
Angled cold wall
The top-angled inside wall gives more coil surface and lets cold air blanket the pans. NSF 7 approved cold wall construction keeps food cold without drying it out.
Digital control
The electronic controller runs auto-defrost, programmed at the customer location. The setpoint is adjustable on the control panel.
Insulated well
Insulated sides and bottom hold the cold, and a 1" NPSM brass drain makes cleaning easier.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect every carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Approximate shipping weight is 211 lb. The well, control panel and TXV valve arrive as separate pieces.
- All refrigerant and electrical connections between the pieces and to the power supply are the job of a qualified refrigeration installer and electrician, to local codes.
- Plan the condensing unit before the well arrives: Hatco does not supply it.
- Seal the bezel to the counter with sealant, or order the factory-installed EPDM rubber gasket with the unit.
