Hoshizaki SRC14J SRC Series 38 inch Remote Condenser for FS-1500MLJ-C (Weather Resistant Cabinet)

The SRC14J remote condenser from the SRC series is designed for quiet and energy-efficient operation, helping reduce energy costs while minimizing excess heat in commercial kitchen environments. It can be installed away from the ice maker using brazing and refrigerant-required tubing kits available in 25 ft, 35 ft, and 55 ft lengths, which are sold separately; technical support should be contacted for installations beyond these distances. The unit operates on a single phase, 208–230v/60/1 electrical connection and must be hardwired at the site using a 4-wire setup including ground. It uses R-404A refrigerant with a charge of 10 lbs 12.8 oz (4900 g). Compatible ice makers, sold separately, include FS-1501MLJ-C. The unit is UL listed, Georgia Made certified, and comes with a three-year parts and labor warranty for the entire unit, along with a five-year parts warranty on the air-cooled condenser coil.
