Hatco IWB-S2 Drop-In Slim Ice Well, Two Full-Size Pans, 48-1/8" W x 19" D, Non-Refrigerated
Description
Keeps pre-chilled salads, cold sides and bottled drinks on ice in a two-pan slim drop-in well, with no refrigeration or power to install.
The Hatco IWB-S2 is an insulated drop-in slim ice well that holds two full-size food pans, placed lengthwise over a bed of ice. It has no refrigeration or electrical parts: you fill it with ice, set pre-chilled food in the pans and drain the melt water through a 1" brass drain. The bezel design lets cold air blanket the food and gives guests a clear view and easy reach. It sits in a 48-1/8" x 19" countertop opening and suits salad bars, cold buffets and chilled beverage bars.

Cut the counter to the 46-1/4" to 47-1/8" x 17-1/16" to 17-15/16" range Hatco gives, and brace the counter for the weight of the well, ice and food.
No power required
The well is cooled by ice only, so there is no compressor, cord or refrigerant line to run under the counter.
Insulated sides and bottom
Insulation on the sides and bottom holds the cold longer, so the ice lasts and you refill less often.
Angled bezel design
The angled inside wall lets cold air blanket the food and gives guests a clear view and easy access to the pans.
Easy-clean 1" drain
A larger 1" brass drain with a flat screen lets melt water run off and keeps the well simple to clean.
Matches Hatco wells
The IWB-S2 matches the look of Hatco heated and refrigerated drop-in wells for a uniform serving line.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 105 lb.
- The well is shipped in a wooden frame: keep it in the frame until the counter cutout is ready.
- Installation must be done by qualified installers and must meet local plumbing codes. Two or more people are needed to lower the well into the cutout.
- Seal the bezel to the counter with NSF-approved silicone sealant, unless you ordered the factory-installed gasket.
- The counter must be level so the well drains, and strong enough, with bracing if needed, to carry the well, ice and food.
Questions buyers ask
Does it need electricity or a refrigeration line?
No. The well is cooled by ice only and has no refrigeration or electrical components. You only need a drain connection or a catch pan under the drain fitting.
How do I use it?
Fill the well with ice, leaving room for the pans, set the empty pans in, then add food that is already chilled to a safe temperature. Hatco notes the well holds cold more efficiently when every pan position is filled.
Which false bottom fits it?
Hatco lists 2FBS8 (8" deep, sits on the bottom of the well and leaves room for 8" of ice) or 2FBS3.5 (hangs from the pan ledge, 3-1/2" of ice), each with one 2-pan insert. False bottoms hold the ice above the drain for better draining.
Can I use smaller pans?
Yes. Hatco offers pan support bars to divide the well for half-size and third-size pans. For this model Hatco lists the CWB12BAR 12" pan support bar.
What options must be ordered with the well?
Two factory options are available only at the time of purchase: the IWB-S2SLANT slant kit that tilts the well 5 degrees (water will not fully drain with the slant installed) and the BEZELGASKET-S2 factory-installed gasket that replaces silicone sealant.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship for 18 months for parts not listed with a different term in its limited warranty. Register the unit online with Hatco within 90 days of factory shipment.
