the condensing unit housing on self-contained
models.
Each unit is equipped with a floor drain located
in the right rear corner of the cabinet. The drain
can be plumbed to an external floor 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 Specification
Plate affixed 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 flush with, or recessed into, the
wall surface.
NOTE: Never use an extension cord to extend the
power cord to the electrical receptacle.
CAUTION
If unit has been laid on its
back or sides, place unit
upright and allow minimum of 24 hours before

the equipment on any
other power source than that listed on the
