MOUNTING THE EVAPORATOR
Plan the installation to allow for minimum modification of
existing shelving.
1. Using the paper template supplied, mark the location of the
four mounting holes.
2. Position the refrigerant tube exit hole in the icebox for
minimum bending and strain on the evaporator and tube set.
Mark its location (1-1/2” diameter).
3. Drill the mounting holes using a 9/64” drill and the tube set
exit hole using a 1-1/2” hole saw.
4. Unroll the entire tube set. An assistant is very helpful here.
It is often easier to unroll the entire tube set and stretch it
outside the boat. Feed the tube set and couplings through
the holes in the icebox and bulkheads while an assistant
supports the freezer unit and keeps the tubing feeding
smoothly without damaging it.
Be careful not to kink,
flatten or strain joints.
Make sure the plastic caps are in
place over the refrigerant couplings.
Keep dirt out of the
couplings.
5. Feed the tube set through the boat to the compressor unit.
Do not attempt to connect the mating couplings or remove
the plastic caps yet.
6. Fasten the freezer unit to the icebox liner with 1-3/4”
stainless steel screws and 1” plastic standoffs supplied.
7. Position the rubber insulation sleeve on the tube set so that
its end is flush with the
inside of the liner of the icebox with
the balance extending
outside.
8. Form excess tubing, if any, into an 18” (approx)
diameter coil in the horizontal plane above the
compressor unit or at any other convenient location.
9. As shown below, seal the icebox hole using the mastic
sealant (“Mortite”) supplied.
