Description
ABS ABT-HC-FRP-17P Flammable Storage Refrigerator
Flammable storage refrigerators meet the requirements of NFPA 45 and NFPA 30 for cold storage of flammable and combustible materials in unclassified laboratory locations. Utilizes non-sparking and/or ATEX rated components to ensure an intrinsically safe interior for flammable materials in sealed containers. These units feature temperature alarms, keyed door locks, interior shelving, probe access, and microprocessor temperature control.
Our Premier Series refrigerators include premium additions such as extensive alarm systems and digital touch pad displays. All units run on natural, hydrocarbon refrigerant for environmental health and energy efficiency.

It utilizes eco-friendly hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants for optimized energy efficiency and compliance with environmental standards.
What is the warranty coverage?
It is backed by a standard parts and labor warranty, along with extended compressor coverage for long-term clinical, research, and laboratory reliability.
Shipping FAQ
How is this flammable storage laboratory refrigerator shipped?
Due to the heavy commercial weight, specialized safety construction, and sensitive internal cooling systems, this upright unit is shipped via specialized LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to safeguard it against transit damage.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility features a professional commercial loading dock capable of receiving a transport vehicle, ensuring the unit is lowered safely to ground level.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Before signing the delivery receipt, you must thoroughly inspect the outer packaging, solid door construction, handles, and exterior panels for any indication of transit-related impact.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
Allow the refrigerator to sit completely upright in its final installation location for at least 24 hours prior to powering it on, letting all internal compressor fluids properly settle.
