Beverage-Air BB48HC-1-PT-B Details
Great for use in bars with limited space, this Beverage-Air BB48HC-1-PT-B hinged door back bar refrigerator provides superior performance and plenty of refrigerated storage space for bottles, cans, and even kegs!
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, while the hinged solid doors feature a 90 degree stay-open feature for convenient reloading. In addition, a 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. The unit's interior is fitted with environmentally-friendly foamed-in-place CFC and HCFC-free polyurethane insulation, ensuring that the cabinet is both structurally fortified and energy efficient.
The galvanized steel walls and ceiling, plus a reinforced heavy-duty stainless steel floor, deliver long lasting service. A total of four epoxy-coated shelves allow for optimal organization and storage within this unit, and the interior incandescent lighting enhances visibility. Other features include a powerful 1/4 hp compressor, magnetic door gaskets to help form a reliable seal, and integrated door locks.
This unit runs on eco-friendly R290 refrigerant. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an environmentally-responsible choice for your business.
The Beverage-Air BB48HC-1-PT-B is the ideal solution for storing and serving a wide range of beverage options within your bar or restaurant. The unit requires a 115V electrical connection

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers
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 R290 and R600a 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.

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.

Love the design of this fridge! Reach through feature is very handy and the size is perfect for a generous display case. As always, Webster restaurant was fast with delivery and good customer service.
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.
The glass is so convenient to keep an eye on the stock of beer. Easy to clean and wipe down.
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.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.
This works great behind our bar. The windowed doors are perfect for allowing our customers to see which beers we have available. Great for display, refrigeration and storage
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.
