Description
ABS ABT-HC-FFP-20 Flammable Storage Freezer
The Standard ABS ABT-HC-FFP-20 Flammable Storage Freezer meets NFPA and OSHA guidelines 45 and 70 for the refrigerated storage of flammable (volatile) materials in general laboratory work areas. Utilizes ATEX and non-sparking components for safety. These units are NOT designed for use in environments where volatile/explosive conditions could potentially exist.
Freezer models feature a microprocessor temperature controller and display, allowing for precise temperature control, verification and recovery versus mechanical style thermostats.
Models utilize environmentally friendly, natural hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants (not containing hydrofluorocarbons) which vastly reduce global-warming potential (GWP) while meeting new EPA/SNAP mandates and UL or ETL, ASHRAE compliance guidelines.
Please Note: For manual defrost freezers, periodic manual defrosting is required. Freestanding models require 4″ of clearance around back and sides of unit for proper ventilation.

Product FAQ
What makes this freezer safe for storing flammable materials?
This unit is engineered to meet NFPA and OSHA guidelines 45 and 70 for the safe storage of volatile and flammable materials in laboratory settings, featuring no internal electrical components and sealed vapor-proof compressor components.
What temperature range does this flammable storage freezer maintain?
The freezer operates within a controlled low-temperature range (typically set between -15°C and -25°C), backed by a dependable microprocessor controller to ensure stable conditions for sensitive laboratory samples.
What monitoring and safety alarms are included?
It comes equipped with a digital temperature display, audible and visual high/low-temperature alarms, remote alarm contacts, and sensor error warnings to safeguard valuable inventory against unexpected temperature fluctuations.
Are there specific clearance requirements for installation?
Yes. Proper airflow is critical for reliable performance. Ensure adequate clearance is maintained around the back and sides of the unit according to the manufacturer’s operational manual.
What is the warranty coverage?
It includes a standard manufacturer parts and labor warranty, along with extended compressor coverage for long-term operational peace of mind.
Shipping FAQ
How is this flammable storage freezer shipped?
Due to specialized safety construction and heavy commercial weight, this unit is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to protect the system during transit.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is required unless your facility features a commercial loading dock capable of receiving a major transport vehicle.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Thoroughly inspect the exterior packaging, door, handle, and structural panels for any signs of transit damage before signing the delivery receipt.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
Allow the freezer to sit completely upright in its final installation location for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it in, giving internal cooling fluids adequate time to settle.
