Everest EBD3-BB-24 68 In. Back Bar and Direct Draw Keg Refrigerator, 24 In. Depth, 2 Kegs (1/2 + 1/4 Slim), Single Faucet Draft Arm, 315 Can Backstock, Black Vinyl Exterior

The Everest EBD3-BB-24 is the largest of Everest's shallow-depth back bar and direct draw combos, a 68 inch long, 24 1/2 inch deep keg refrigerator for bars, taprooms, and restaurants that want a tap pouring, the next keg already cold, and the packaged backstock chilling in an aisle a full-depth cabinet would choke. The compartment behind the left door is rated for a half barrel plus a slim quarter barrel, with a fully insulated single faucet draft arm above it, while the right side stages up to 315 12 oz. cans or 210 12 oz. bottles on two adjustable wire shelves, so one 20 cubic foot footprint covers the draft program, the backup keg, and the bottle and can service. The draft arm and its matching air distributor ship on the unit rather than as add-ons, and a digital controller holds the cabinet anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, factory preset at 35°F.

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

The condensing unit is a side 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 both your tap and your bottle service while a refrigeration tech opens the circuit, a cartridge swap gets the cabinet 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 moving through both compartments 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.

A Half Barrel Plus a Slim Quarter Keg with 315 Cans and 210 Bottles in Reserve

Storage splits the cabinet into two jobs. The keg compartment sits behind the left door and is rated for one half barrel and one slim quarter barrel, with the half barrel pouring through the single faucet, 3 inch diameter stainless steel draft arm on the countertop while the second keg chills beside it, so the changeover when a keg kicks is a swap, not a wait for warm stock to pull down. The arm is fully insulated, which keeps the short run between keg and faucet cold so the first pour of a shift is beer, not foam, and the matching air distributor is standard equipment rather than a separate purchase.

The back bar side is rated for 315 12 oz. cans or 210 12 oz. bottles across two epoxy coated, steel wire shelves on height adjustable stainless steel clips, so you can re-rack the spacing around taller packages without tools. Because the interior is open spaced with no walls between the compartments, cold air moves freely across the whole 20 cubic foot cabinet instead of fighting a divider wall.

Stainless Steel Countertop and Two Locking Solid Doors over a Black Vinyl Cabinet

Up top, a heavy duty stainless steel countertop takes the abuse of keg changes and bar service, and 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 body wears a textured laminate, black vinyl exterior over 1 3/4 inches of high density polyurethane insulation, with galvanized steel walls and a stainless steel floor inside.

Both solid swing doors run 22 3/4 inches wide, each with a black vinyl exterior, a galvanized steel interior, and the same 1 3/4 inches of polyurethane insulation as the cabinet. Snap-in magnetic gaskets seal every swing and pull off without tools for cleaning or replacement, high strength recessed handles keep the aisle behind the bar snag-free, and pre-installed door locks keep the kegs and the backstock safe from theft after close. Shielded LED bar lighting with its own on/off switch throws bright, high color light at low heat output, and built-in caster thread receptacles accept the optional casters or legs, so you choose between a rolling unit and a fixed install. As shipped, the cabinet stands 37 1/4 inches tall at the countertop, with the draft arm rising above it.

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 and cases come off the truck and into service 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 a single faucet, plus 3 inch or 5 inch swivel casters with locks, 3.5 inch to 6 inch height-adjustable, interchangeable legs, and additional wire shelving for the back bar side.

The EBD3-BB-24 is a refrigerator only, with a floor of 33°F, and its keg bay is sized for one half barrel plus one slim quarter, not two full halves. The depth class is the tradeoff to weigh: the standard 27 inch deep EBD3-BB holds 360 cans to this cabinet's 315 in the same 68 inch length, the 57 3/4 inch EBD2-BB-24 covers a shorter run in the same shallow class, and the dedicated EBD3-24 direct draw cabinet trades the shelves for three half barrels. This cabinet runs 68 inches long by 24 1/2 inches deep and needs 46 1/2 inches of clear depth with a door open, a tighter swing than the 49 inches the full-depth twin demands. Power is ordinary: 115V at 3.5 amps through a 9 foot cord and a standard NEMA 5-15P plug, with a floor drain the only other site requirement.
