Plumbing
Self-Contained
Condensate from the cooling coil is automatically
evaporated from the condensate pan located in
the condensing unit housing on self-contained
models.
Self-Contained & Remote
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.
Remotes
Dispensing head drainers should be plumbed to
a dump tank or oor drain. Always rinse drainer
with sucient amounts of water daily to prevent
drain from clogging.
Remote evaporator condensate plumbing should
be routed out on of the cabinet side access holes
or to one of the oor drains and should always
be sloped to the drain with no rise to prevent
drainage. A trap should be used, however, trap
peak must be below condensate drain pan nipple.
Electrical
The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see Electrical Specication
Plate axed 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 6'5" cord extending
beyond the rear of the cabinet. The electrical
outlet must be ush with, or recessed into, the
wall surface.

power cord to the electrical receptacle.
