Blue Air BGM49B-HC 54" Two-Door Swing Glass Door Merchandiser Refrigerator, Black, 49 cu. ft.

Blue Air rates this two-section merchandiser at 49 cu. ft. behind two hinged glass doors, with eight epoxy coated wire shelves — four in each compartment. Every shelf adjusts in height, so one side can run a tight pitch for canned drinks while the other is opened up for 2-liter bottles or packaged grab-and-go, and additional shelves are available from Blue Air for a denser set.

Pick the BGM49B-HC when you have clear floor space in front of the cabinet and want doors that seal themselves shut: they self-close from 90° or less and hold open at 110° for hands-free restocking, and they lock as standard. A sliding-door model such as the BGM47SLB-HC is the better fit only when the aisle in front is too tight to give up a door arc, and it trades away this unit's larger 49 cu. ft. capacity.

The cabinet measures 54-3/8" wide by 31-1/2" deep by 84" tall (1381 x 800 x 2135 mm), so it is taller than a standard 80" door frame and needs its delivery path checked before it ships. Plan clearance in front for the swing of the two glass doors as well, and remember that the unit rolls on 4" swivel casters, with 2.5" casters or 6" adjustable legs available if you need a lower or fixed finished height.

Yes — the BGM49B-HC is ENERGY STAR® qualified, and it runs R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which is safer for the environment and causes no ozone depletion. The efficiency comes from double pane glass in both doors, cyclopentane insulation with no hydro-fluorocarbons and LED interior lighting instead of fluorescent tubes, which matters on a merchandiser that runs around the clock.

It runs on a standard 115V/60Hz single-phase circuit and draws 7.0 amps to feed its 1/2 HP self-contained refrigeration system. The unit terminates in a NEMA 5-15P plug on a 9.8 ft (3 m) flexible three-wire cord with a molded plug, so it connects to an ordinary grounded receptacle with no hard wiring required at the fixture.

The compressor is bottom mounted on a front sliding condensing unit, so a technician pulls the deck out from the front and works on it without moving the loaded merchandiser away from the wall. The evaporator is electrodeposition coated to maintain heat transfer rates and reduce corrosion over its life, and a bottom-mounted condensation pan is designed to prevent water overflow while improving ventilation around the machine compartment.
