waste outlet and P-tRaP

The waste outlet is located off the center of the case on
one side allowing drip piping to be run lengthwise under
the fixture. There are 3 drains in each fixture that can be
easily located.
1-1/", 1" and 3/4" P-TRAPS and threaded adapters
are supplied with each fixture. The 3 P-TRAPS must be
installed to prevent air leakage and insect entrance into
the fixture.
note: Pvc-dwv solvent cement is recommended. follow the
manufacturer's instructions.

installing condensate drain

Poorly or improperly installed condensate drains can
seriously interfere with the operation of this refrigerator, and
result in costly maintenance and product losses. Please
follow the recommendations listed below when installing
condensate drains to insure a proper installation:
1. Never use pipe for condensate drains smaller
than the nominal diameter of the pipe or P-TRAP
supplied with the case.
. When connecting condensate drains, the P-TRAP
must be used as part of the condensate drain
to prevent air leakage or insect entrance. Store
plumbing system floor drains should be at least 14"
off the center of the case to allow use of the P-TRAP
pipe section. Never use two water seals in series in
any one line. Double P-TRAPS in series will cause a
lock and prevent draining.

Refrigerant type

The standard refrigerant will be R- unless otherwise
specified on the customer order. Check the serial plate on
the case for information.

Piping

The refrigerant line outlets are located under the case.
Locate first the electrical box, the outlets are then on the
same side of the case but at the opposite end. Insulate
suction lines to prevent condensation drippage.

note: the standard coil is piped at

coils and the draw the case has. depending on the case
setup, the connecting point in the store may be

Refrigerant lines should be sized as shown on the
refrigeration legend furnished by the store.
Install P-tRaPS (oil traps) at the base of all suction line
vertical risers.
Pressure drop can rob the system of capacity. To keep the
pressure drop to a minimum, keep refrigerant line run as
short as possible, using the minimum number of elbows.
Where elbows are required, use long radius elbows only.

3. Always provide as much down hill slope ("fall") as
possible; 1/8" per foot is the preferred minimum.
PVC pipe, when used, must be supported to
maintain the 1/8" pitch and to prevent warping.
4. Avoid long runs of condensate drains. Long runs
make it impossible to provide the "fall" necessary for
good drainage.
5. Provide a suitable air break between the flood rim of
the floor drain and outlet of condensate drain. 1" is
ideal.
6. Prevent condensate drains from freezing:
a. Do not install condensate drains in contact with
non-insulated suction lines. Suction lines should
be insulated with a non - absorbent insulation
material such as Armstrong's Armaflex.
b. Where condensate drains are located in dead
air spaces (between refrigerators or between a
refrigerator and a wall), provide means to prevent
freezing. The water seal should be insulated to
prevent condensation.

control Settings

See R3, R3P technical data sheet for the appropriate
settings for your merchandiser. Maintain these parameters
to achieve near constant product temperatures. Product
temperature should be measured first thing in the morning,
after having been refrigerated overnight. Defrost times
should be as follows: OFF CYCLE - Defrost times should
be as directed in the R3, R3P technical data sheet. The
number of defrosts per day and the duration of the defrost
cycle may be adjusted to meet conditions present at your
location.

access to tX valves and drain lines

Mechanical - Remove product from end of case. Remove
product racks. Remove refrigeration and drain access
panels (labeled). TX valve (mechanical only) and drain are
located under each access panel at end of the case.
electronic - The Electronic Expansion valve master and
slave cylinder(s) are located within the electrical access
panel(s).
