Everest EBD1 24 In. Direct Draw Keg Refrigerator, 1 Half Barrel Keg, One Single Faucet Draft Arm, 8 Cu. Ft., Black Vinyl Exterior

The Everest EBD1 is the single keg entry point to the EBD Series, a direct draw keg refrigerator for taprooms, brewpubs, and restaurant bars that want one half barrel chilling, storing, and pouring from a 24 inch slot at the end of the bar. The keg rides inside the 8 cubic foot cabinet directly below the faucet, so beer travels inches from keg to glass instead of through long remote lines, and the fully insulated single faucet draft arm with its matching air distributor ships on the unit rather than as an add-on. A digital controller holds the cabinet anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, factory preset at 35°F.

Back Mounted Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

The condensing unit is a back mounted, self-contained Blizzard R290 cartridge that is fully detachable and replaceable in the field with no on-site brazing. Unlike a conventional sealed system repair that can park your draft program while a refrigeration tech opens the circuit, a cartridge swap gets the beer pouring again the same visit. The cartridge runs EPA-compliant R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull the cabinet down to temperature quickly while drawing less energy, and a full-length air duct keeps cold air circulating around the keg instead of pooling at the floor. The defrost cycle is time-initiated and temperature-terminated, so it runs itself, and condensate evaporates from a self-maintaining drain pan with no external drain or electric heater. Large capacity, corrosion-resistant condenser and evaporator coils carry the cooling load, while a high performance, auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean.

One Half Barrel Keg on Tap Through a Fully Insulated Single Faucet Draft Arm

Storage is rated at one half barrel keg in 8 cubic feet of cabinet, and the dispensing hardware is standard equipment rather than a separate purchase: a single faucet, 3 inch diameter stainless steel draft arm with a matching air distributor mounts on the countertop. The arm is fully insulated, so the short run between keg and faucet stays cold and the first pour of a shift is beer, not foam.

The keg loads through a full solid door with a textured laminate, black vinyl exterior and a galvanized steel interior, insulated with 1 3/4 inches of high density polyurethane. A snap-in magnetic gasket seals every swing and pulls off without tools when it needs cleaning or replacement, the high strength recessed handle keeps the aisle behind the bar snag-free, and a pre-installed door lock keeps your kegs safe from theft after close.

Stainless Steel Countertop and Rails over a Black Vinyl Cabinet

Up top, a heavy duty stainless steel countertop with stainless steel rails takes the abuse of keg changes and bar service, while the cabinet body wears a textured laminate, black vinyl exterior. Inside, galvanized steel walls pair with a high quality stainless steel floor under the keg. An exterior T-shaped drain port routes excess moisture from the top tray, so plan the install over a floor drain: one is required, and a drain hose is not included.

The cabinet carries the same 1 3/4 inch high density polyurethane insulation as the door, and silicone coated, shatter-proof LED lighting throws bright, high color light with low heat output when you open up. Four pre-installed 5 inch swivel casters, with locks on the front set, roll the unit out for cleaning behind the bar, and built-in caster thread receptacles make a later swap to the optional 3 inch casters or legs a bolt-in job. Overall cabinet height on the factory casters is 39 3/8 inches, with the draft arm rising above the countertop.

Digital Controller that Holds 33°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display holds the cabinet anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, factory preset at 35°F so kegs come off the truck and onto tap at a ready-to-pour temperature. An audible overheat protection alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil and warns you before a ventilation problem becomes a warm cabinet of flat beer.

Everest supports the unit with optional dual or triple faucet 304 stainless steel draft arms and matching 2-way or 3-way air distributors when your tap list outgrows the factory configuration, plus 3 inch or 5 inch swivel casters with locks, a 3 inch overall-height caster assembly, and 3.5 inch to 6 inch height-adjustable, interchangeable legs.

The EBD1 is a refrigerator only, with a floor of 33°F, and its single half barrel is the ceiling: when your tap list needs more than one keg pouring at once, the longer EBD2, EBD3, and EBD4 siblings carry two, three, and four half barrels across 59, 69, and 90 inch lengths. The cabinet itself runs 23 1/2 inches long by 32 inches deep and needs 53 3/4 inches of clear depth with the door open, so measure the aisle behind your bar before committing to the slot. Power is ordinary: 115V at 2.5 amps through a 9 foot cord and a standard NEMA 5-15P plug, with a floor drain the only other site requirement.
