Hoshizaki SRK12J3 53 inch SRK Series Remote Condenser for KMS-1122MLJ (Weather Resistant Cabinet)

The SRK12J3 remote condenser from the SRK 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 three phase, 230v/60/3 electrical connection and must be hardwired at the site using a 4-wire setup including ground; if a neutral is not available, a transformer kit (HS-5030) is required. It uses R-404A refrigerant with a charge of 15 lbs 14 oz (7200 g). Compatible ice makers, sold separately, include KMS-1122MLJ-3. 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.
