Hatco HCSSBX-2418 Remote Hot/Cold Built-In Simulated Stone Shelf, 24" x 18", Control Box Only, 120V
Description
A flush simulated stone shelf that switches between hot and cold display, cooled by a refrigeration system you supply.
The Hatco HCSSBX-2418 is a remote hot/cold built-in simulated stone shelf with a 24" x 18" Swanstone surface, bottom mounted, flush with the countertop. It heats or chills from one footprint and changes modes in as little as 30 minutes. This X version ships with an unattached control box and a liquid line solenoid valve on the shelf, but no condenser: the shelf is cooled by a condensing unit or rack system supplied by others.

Plan the refrigeration hookup first: this model needs a condensing unit supplied by others, piped by a qualified refrigeration installer.
Hot or cold service
The same shelf switches between heated and chilled display. Hatco rates the change at as little as 30 minutes, so one footprint covers breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.
Two digital controllers
The control box has a power switch and separate HOT and COLD digital controllers. Cold setpoints run 10°F to 50°F and hot setpoints 65°F to 192°F; factory presets are 25°F and 180°F.
Patented thermal break
A thermal break around the shelf reduces condensation and temperature transfer onto the countertop next to it.
Flush simulated stone top
The Swanstone simulated stone surface mounts from below, flush with the countertop. Ash Gray is standard; Hatco notes that stone patterns vary.
Refrigeration by others
The X model lets the shelf run on other refrigerants and systems. It arrives with a liquid line solenoid valve on the shelf and an unattached TXV; evaporator load is 953 BTU/hr.
Remote control box
The electronic temperature control box ships loose with a 4 ft. lead wire for remote mounting on a vertical surface, outside the heat zone.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco ships the shelf in a shipping frame. Keep it in the frame until the counter and cabinet are ready, and move it upright only.
- In the box: shelf assembly with temperature probe, TXV valve (loose), control box (loose) and liquid line solenoid valve attached to the shelf. No condensing unit is included.
- Refrigerant line, electrical and brazing work must be done by qualified installers to local codes.
- Mount the control box vertically and outside the heat zone, or damage will occur.
- In cold weather, let the unit sit at least 10 hours in a 65°F to 86°F room before the first start.
Questions buyers ask
Does it come with a condensing unit?
No. The HCSSBX is the control-box-only version. The condenser and refrigerant are supplied by others; Hatco offers the HCSSBR version with a remote R-513A condensing unit.
What power does it need?
120V, 60 Hz, single phase. Hatco rates the HCSSBX-2418 at 3.4 amps and 405 W on the hot side; the solenoid valve draws 0.1 A.
What size counter opening do I cut?
24.375" wide by 18.375" deep with 3/8" corner radii, plus a 13-1/8" x 5-5/8" opening for the control box.
How quickly does it switch between hot and cold?
In about 30 minutes. When you switch to cold, a five-minute delay runs before the condensing unit starts as a safeguard.
What top finishes can I order?
Ash Gray Swanstone simulated stone is standard. Birch or Ice Swanstone, Rem, Domoos or Soke Dekton surfaces, and black or white glass-ceramic tops are order options; non-standard finishes are non-returnable.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco lists a one year parts and on-site labor warranty as standard, with 24/7 parts and service assistance in the U.S. and Canada.
