IMPORTANT PLANNING INFORMATION
LOCAL REGULATIONS AND CODES
It is YOUR responsibility to consult with your local inspectors about your walk-in cooler plans to
ensure you will be able to meet all the local codes and requirements for walk-in cooler
installations in your area.
WALK-IN COOLER WALLS CLEARANCE
A minimum of 2 inches clearance between existing building walls and walk-in walls is necessary
for proper air circulation around the cooler walls (see pg. 7)
AIR CONDITIONER CLEARANCE
A minimum of 2 feet clearance around the A/C unit is needed for proper ventilation (pg. 7).
FLOOR
A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION begins with HAVING A SOLID LEVEL SURFACE to install your cooler.
DELIVERY
You will need 2-3 able bodied people on site for unloading your cooler. It is at the driver’s
discretion to use the lift gate. You should be prepared if the shipment has to be uncrated and
unloaded manually from the truck.
IMPORTANT!
Always consult with your General Contractor before installation of your walk-in box in a recently
poured concrete pad or tiled floor to ensure enough curing time has been allowed.
Concrete, grout, and other construction materials may outgas chemicals for weeks (or even months)
that can cause staining/corrosion of walk-in cooler metal surfaces. Muriatic acid liquid and fumes,
which is often used by concrete contractors, will also cause staining/corrosion. We recommend that
our customers and their General Contractors fully understand the cure time of the concrete, tile
grout, and any other materials in proximity to the walk-in and provide adequate ventilation to move
these gases out and away from the walk-in cooler. Inadequate ventilation or ventilation for too short
of a time may result in staining/corrosion of walk-in cooler metal. This staining/corrosion is not
covered by warranty. If in doubt, contact your concrete supplier, tile contractor, general contractor,
etc. for the number of days for the concrete, grout, and other construction materials to have fully
outgassed and install your walk-in cooler after this date.
