INSTALLATION & OpERATION
Drain
The drain is located at the center of the case in the oor pan. The 1" PVC drain outlet is
located at the center front of the case behind the kickplate.
The drain line exits the case in the center. The lateral runs of drain pipe should be installed
through the bases (See Figure 22). There is no room in front of the base for the drain pipe
because the kickplate installs directly to the front of the bases.
Install the tee to the outlet pipe and a drain trap to the tee. Plug the open end of the tee
using the clean-out plug supplied with the drain trap kit. The drain line must be pitched away
from the case. The tee, drain trap, and plug are supplied with the case. The drain trap must
be level. The drain trap should be primed with water after installation. The drain line must be
pitched away from the case enough to ensure proper drainage. Consult your local codes for
minimum requirements.
Cases with 1" bases are shipped on wooden skids or pallets. The forward
drain section, tee, and “R” trap are shipped loose for eld installation.
Condensate Removal System
Zero Zone remote cases can be equipped with a condensate removal
system. The system uses a drain pan with pump located behind the kickplate
and a condensate evaporation pan mounted on the top of the case.
Condensate water and any liquid spilled in the case will drain into the drain
pan. The pump is equipped with a oat that turns the pump on when there
is a sufcient liquid level. Liquid is pumped through a plastic hose through a
check valve and into the condensate evaporation pan. The evaporation pan
is equipped with a heater and a oat switch to turn on when the heater is
submerged in liquid. When the heater is energized, the evaporation pan will
be extremely hot and should not be touched. The pump and evaporation pan
should be cleaned regularly.Any spilled product, other than water, should be
cleaned to prevent odors.
Kickplates
Each case is shipped with a front kickplate. Cases with end panels are
shipped with 1 side kickplate per end panel. Cases that join together are
shipped with a kickplate splice.
Front and side kickplates are attached to the case bases using Tinnerman
clips. Position the front kickplate so the ange is on top and facing outward.
The screw (supplied) goes through the kickplate and into the Tinnerman clip
(See Figure 23).
There is a natural gap between the top of the kickplate and the underside
of the Crystal Merchandiser® that allows airow of 50 CFM per door. If more
airow is required, contact the factory to order optional louvered kickplates
(provides 150 CFM per door).
