Hatco FTBR-2 Remote Drop-In Frost Top, 2-Pan, 39" W, Remote Condensing Unit, 120V
Description
A drop-in cold plate for 2 full-size sheet pans, with the refrigeration placed away from the serving line.
The Hatco FTBR-2 is a remote drop-in frost top for a 2-pan serving counter. Its NSF 7 approved cold wall keeps pre-chilled food cold without drying it out. The R-513A condensing unit ships loose and can be field mounted up to 50 ft of tubing from the frost top, and the control panel ships loose on 9 ft probe wires. That keeps compressor heat and noise out of the counter. A qualified installer makes the refrigeration and electrical connections; the condensing unit runs on 120V.

NSF 7 cold wall
The cold wall construction keeps food product cold without drying it out.
Sheet pan ready
Recessed walls hold 2 full-size 18" x 26" sheet pans or half-size 18" x 13" sheet pans and stop them from sliding.
Auto-defrost control
An advanced electronic controller with auto-defrost is programmed at the customer location.
Brass drain

Delivery and setup

It holds 2 full-size 18" x 26" sheet pans or half-size 18" x 13" sheet pans. Hatco sells matching full-size (18" SHEET PAN) and half-size (ALUM PAN) sheet pans as accessories.
What size hole do I cut?
Cut the countertop 37-3/8" to 38" W x 27-5/16" to 28" D. The outside size of the unit is 39" W x 28-15/16" D x 3-9/16" H.
How far away can the condensing unit go?
Hatco says the condensing unit can be field mounted up to 50 ft of tubing from the frost top. The control panel ships on 9 ft probe wires.

The condensing unit runs on 120V, 60 Hz, single phase, 300 W and 3.8 A with a 1/5 hp compressor.
What is the difference between FTBR and FTBX?
FTBR models include a remote R-513A condensing unit. FTBX models ship without one and connect to a condensing unit supplied by others.
