Cold Shelf, Built-In Flush Top – 48" x 19 ½"
Model CSBFX-48-I | remote-ready cold holding from HatcoGive guests the chill they’re looking for—without giving up precious counter space. Hatco’s CSBFX-48-I Cold Shelf drops in flush, presents a sleek hard-coat aluminum surface and relies on remote refrigeration (condensing unit supplied by others) to keep salads, desserts, beverages, sushi and more safely below 41 °F / 5 °C*. Perfect for buffets, delis, grab-and-go displays or any front-of-house application where eye-appeal and temperature control matter equally.
Why You’ll Love It
- True flush mount – installs level with the countertop for a seamless, easy-wipe presentation.
- Hard-coat aluminum deck – durable, non-porous and NSF component-listed for direct food contact.
- Remote refrigeration flexibility – choose the condensing unit, refrigerant and location that best suit your layout (liquid & suction connections provided).
- Electronic temperature control – loose control box with 4 ft (1.22 m) lead lets you position the interface exactly where staff need it.
- Patented thermal break around the perimeter cuts condensation and prevents cold bleed into adjacent surfaces.
- Matches Hatco GRSBF heated shelves for a coordinated hot-and-cold lineup.
- cULus listed and Made in the USA.
How It Works
- The shelf ships pre-assembled with a TXV, temperature probe and liquid-line solenoid valve.
- Connect the shelf’s suction & liquid lines to your remote condensing unit (refrigerant of choice).
- Mount the electronic control box up to 4 ft from the unit (optional 7.5 ft cord available).
- Set your desired holding temperature and the controller cycles the solenoid valve to maintain it—no guesswork.
