Installation: Sealing Unit
If the unit is to be sealed to the counter top, the
drain tubing should be available and planned such
that the connections may be finished after the unit
has been sealed to the counter.
Sealing may be accomplished by the use of room
temperature vulcanizing (RTV) rubber sealant
such as General Electric IS 808 Industrial Sealant,
Dow Corning 731 (Scotsman part number
19-0529-01) or the equivalent.
With the unit located on the counter as desired:
A. Tilt or lift the unit to expose the bottom flanges
of the base frame.
B. Apply the sealant to cover the bottom flanges of
the base frame.
C. Return the unit to the desired position on the
counter top.
D. Add sealant around the base frame and counter
top to provide a seal with a radius of 1/2". Follow
the sealant manufacturer’s instructions on the
package for working with the sealant, and cleaning
up.
E. Seal around all access holes in the
counter top with Permagum or Mortite
caulk or an equivalent material.
