Convenient Design
This 48" front-breathing unit features a standard depth design so you have plenty of room to maneuver behind the bar. The cabinet's exterior boasts a black steel finish and is paired with a reinforced 2" thick stainless steel top that matches the height of standard counters and serves as an excellent surface for prepping drinks and side dishes. Both hinged glass doors feature a 90-degree stay-open feature for convenient reloading. In addition, its unique pass-through design is great for stocking the bar from one side and serving out from the other side without taking up additional space in the bar on a busy night.

Questions & Answers
Looking For Specific Info? Get quick answers to product questions with our AI-powered search.
Can I plug in this unit for use right away after receiving it?
No. It is strongly recommended to allow this unit to sit in its normal operating position for at least 24 hours before plugging it in for use. This allows the compressor oil and refrigerant time to settle from being displaced during transport, preventing damage to the unit that may void its warranty.
Does Beverage-Air warrant this item for use in a food truck?
This item is covered under Beverage-Air's warranty contingent upon the unit being kept in a controlled climate. This means that the interior of the food truck may not be susceptible to extreme high or low temperatures. If warranty service is required, the truck must be able to sit stationary for 24-48 hours to allow for a technician to service the equipment.
I haven’t heard of R-290, R-600a, R-513a, or R-448A refrigerant before. What is it?
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
What does the “H” or “HC” mean in the newer Beverage-Air model numbers?
This is a representation that the unit is using a “Hydrocarbon” refrigerant. This would include both R-290 and R-600a refrigerants. They are being used as an eco-friendly refrigerant by Beverage-Air in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program. Read more about this program in our blog post on Refrigerant Regulations.

It doesn't get much better than Beverage Air. This unit performs better than most. It's quiet, and maintenance free. Keep the coils cleaned, and you should have years of service from this unit!

We use this to hold our wine and sangria, since we are a beer and wine restaurant. It holds many bottles and allows for ease of storage. Would highly recommend.

Good unit. Have always had great success with Bev Air fridges. This is the fourth one we have purchased and they have a good track record with us.

This machine is great. We are able to hold numerous types of beverages in here behind our bar (e.g., milk, beer bottles, beer kegs). It stoes nicely under our bartop and we use the top for shelving.

It works well but keep in mind that it has very little options or settings besides temperature. Also if the door is ajar for more than 3-4 minutes at a time, the temperature totally jumps. It is also pretty loud for front of the house - it's better for back.

We are very happy with this refrigerator so far. We use it to store our iced teas, housemade nut milks and lemonade. The nut milks are very sensitive to changes in temperature but we have never had any issues with that in this fridge. It maintains temperature perfectly, looks good and is easy to clean by removing the doors. We have had it for about 6 months now and are very happy with it.

We had a top load bar back fridge before and it was difficult to stock and couldn’t hold much. This one is much easier to stock. It holds plenty of drinks and keeps them ice cold.
