Plumbing
Do not over-tighten drain
fitting or damage to the
threads could occur.
Condensate from the cooling coil is automatically
evaporated from the condensate pan located in
the condensing unit housing on self-contained
models.
Each unit is equipped with a oor drain located
in the right rear corner of the cabinet. The drain
can be plumbed to an external oor drain by
connecting to the 3/4” NPT thread connection on
the side, or the 1” NPS thread connection out the
bottom, of the unit. Both drain ports come plugged
from the factory and can be removed if needed.
NOTE: Remote units require evaporator
condensate to be plumbed to an external drain.
Electrical
The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see Electrical Specication
Plate afxed to unit) in accordance with National
and Local electrical codes.
Self-contained Perlick units come equipped with
a NEMA 5-15P 90° plug with an 8’ cord extending
beyond the rear of the cabinet. The electrical
outlet must be ush with, or recessed into, the
wall surface.
NOTE: Never use an extension cord to extend the
power cord to the electrical receptacle.
If unit has been laid on its
back or sides, place unit
upright and allow minimum of 24 hours before
connecting power. Failure to follow this
procedure may damage the compressor and
void the warranty.
Do not attempt to operate
the equipment on any

INSTALLATION
General Information
• For units equipped with a power cord, the
cord and plug may be aligned with a recess in
the back panel to allow the unit to be pushed
closer to the wall. For correct alignment, the
wall outlet must be located 4” - 10” above the
oor.
• Floor must be level in area of installation.
Preparing the Space
Make sure the oor under
the unit is level with the
surrounding nished oor. Protect a nished
oor with plywood, cardboard or some other
suitable material before moving the unit into
place. Failure to do this may result in damage
to the oor.
NOTE: If unit has been laid on its back or sides,
place unit upright and allow minimum of 24 hours
before connecting to a power source. Failure to
follow this procedure may damage the compressor
and void warranty.
Installing the Unit
If unit has been laid on its
back or sides, place unit
upright and allow minimum of 24 hours before
connecting power.
1. With power applied to the unit, check that
the lighting and cooling functions operate
properly, then turn off power to the wall outlet
and/or circuit breaker.
2. Position the cabinet into place using rollers
when necessary.
NOTE: Proper air ow around the condensing unit
is necessary for efcient operation. Never obstruct
the air ow in and out of the condensing unit.
3. When cabinet is in place, check installation
with carpenter’s level. When the unit is level
front-to-back and side-to-side, accumulated
water will drain out of cabinet to evaporator
drain.

breaker.
1. Make sure the space opening is correctly
sized for the unit. See Dimension drawings at
the back of this manual for correct dimensions.

Electric Condensate Evapaway
(Optional)
For installation in areas of high humidity, a 115volt electric condensate pan can be installed
underneath the cabinet to collect and evaporate
the condensate from the cabinet evaporator. A 6’
3-prong plug is included. A separate circuit should
be provided for the heater. The kit can be used
only on cabinets equipped with 4” minimum legs;
it cannot be used on units equipped with platform
or base plate kits. Follow instructions supplied
with the kit.
