Immediately upon arrival, a visual inspection of the carton should be made to determine if there is evidence of damage
in shipment. Following uncrating, make an inspection for any signs of external damage.
2. set-upof Remote GLyCoL Line ChiLLeR:
Once the survey of the location has been completed to determine the positioning of the remote glycol line chiller and the
connecting draft beer dispensing stations (refer to the specification sheet to be certain that the trunk line will be within
the recommended distance), make the necessary provisions to locate the unit and provide for the electrical services.
The ideal set-up is to mount the glycol line chiller on a proper machine stand that is easily accessible for routine main-
tenance and service.
In less-than-ideal circumstances, it may be necessary to locate the unit on top of the walk-in cooler or on the floor.
NOTE: Do not locate the glycol chiller in the walk-in cooler, as the cold ambient temperature will reduce the
cooling performance of the unit.
NOTE: A minimum of six inches of clearance should be allowed around the entire unit for proper performance.
Additional clearance should be considered for above the unit and in front of the unit for serviceability.
NOTE: When installed above walk-in cooler, ensure air flow is sufficient to maintain 80°F or lower ambient
temperature to maintain rated cooling capacity.
If the unit is located on the floor:
• Ensure the cabinet is sealed to the floor with NSF listed silicon RTV sealant applied around the entire bottom edge
of the cabinet.
• An optional 4" leg set is available as an accessory.
3. eLeCtRiCaL hook-up:
Models BLC-1/3, BLC-1/3-E, BLC-1/2, BLC-3/4, & BLC-3/4-2 are supplied with a 20 Amp grounded cord and plug
that connects at the rear of the unit. Models BLC-1/3-2 & BLC-1/2-2 ship as hard wire units and are supplied with a 30
Amp grounded cord only (no plug) that connects at the rear of the unit. A corresponding 20 Amp or 30 Amp grounded
receptacle or junction box, depending on the line chiller model used, must be installed within reach of the unit.
4. GLyCoL Line ConneCtion:
Typically, glycol recirculating lines are used to transport the glycol in the line chiller to and from the walk-in cooler to be
connected to the glycol lines in the beer line set.
Recirculating Return
Connect your glycol recirculating
line from the beer line set to the
Line Chiller 3/8" barb fitting.
Recirculating Outlet
Connect your glycol recirculating
line from the beer line set to the
Line Chiller 3/8" barb fitting.
Glastender, Inc. • 5400 North Michigan Road • Saginaw, MI • 48604-9780
The glycol bath capacity is 1 gallon (US). Glycol supplied by Glastender, Inc. may be diluted to a ratio of (1) part
glycol to (2) parts water for freeze protection down to 0ºF (-18ºC) or a ratio of (1) part glycol and (3) parts water
for freeze protection down to 10ºF (-12ºC). These mix ratios are recommended, since the refrigeration system is not
capable of lowering the temperature of the glycol bath below 15ºF (-9.4ºC)
For glycol not supplied by Glastender, Inc. please consult the glycol manufacturer’s recommended mixing ratio for
the desired operating temperature.
NOTE: Do not place full strength glycol (undiluted) in the bath, as it will reduce the efficiency of the refrig-
eration system and may result in damage to the recirculation pump due to increased viscosity of cold
glycol.
NOTE: Select and use only a propylene glycol product that meets FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regu-
lations as a food grade product. Any substitution of food grade glycol with automotive anti-freeze or
other products will expose people to hazardous chemicals.
Fill the bath with glycol mixture by removing the black plug in the top of the glycol back and placing a funnel in the
fill hole. Pour in the glycol mixture until the level is 2-1/2" from the top.
6. unit staRt-up:
• Connect unit to appropriate electrical circuit. For more information refer to Step 3, Electrical Hook Up.
• Model BLC-1/3-E has one power switch that operates the compressor unit and recirculating pump.
• Models BLC-1/3, BLC-1/3-2, BLC-1/2, BLC-1/2-2, BLC-3/4, and BLC-3/4-2 have a condensing unit power switch.
There are separate power switches to operate the recirculating pumps. The condensing unit power switch will not
operate the compressor unless a pump switch is in the on position.
• Check all glycol circuit line connections for leaks.
• As you are priming the BLC-1/3, BLC-1/2, or BLC-3/4 lines, continue to add the glycol mixture to keep the bath
level 2-1/2" from the top.
7. system staRt-up:
It is a good practice to operate the glycol recirculation system for sixty (60) minutes before running beer through to
the remote dispensing station(s). This enables the glycol circuit to be checked for leaks. Also, recirculating cold glycol
through the lines enables the temperature inside the trunk line to stabilize before beer is introduced.
Once the refrigeration unit and the glycol recirculating pump have operated for sixty (60) minutes or more, the beer
product can be connected and drawn through the trunk line.
• Check the system for leaks.
• Thoroughly insulate all line joints in the trunk line and dispensing station(s).
It is recommended that the glycol lines be insulated inside the walk-in cooler to prevent excessive ice build up. Insulate
the glycol lines all the way up to the sealed chaseway as it exits the walk-in cooler.

Labor warranty applies to the United States and Canada only.
Remote refrigeration models and beer line chillers include a one-year
parts warranty only. There is no labor warranty on these products.
Field replacement parts not covered under the original warranty include
a 90-day part warranty from the date of installation.
FOUR YEAR ADDITIONAL COMPRESSOR WARRANTY:
Glastender will warrant to the original user the compressor for all selfcontained refrigeration models for an additional four years following the
regular one-year warranty period. This plan applies to the compressor
only.
A completed warranty claim form MUST accompany all returned defective parts or assemblies. Upon request, a defective part or assembly must
be returned to Glastender, Inc., Saginaw, Michigan, with all transportation and delivery charges prepaid. Warranty repairs or replacements
