Middle post frame Tefcold SpareParts TC9228801492

A backbar cooler keeps bottled and canned drinks chilled behind the bar, ready for service. The cabinet is built in sections, each resting on a metal frame that carries the weight and keeps the glass doors aligned. The middle post frame sits between two sections, joining them into a single run while maintaining the gap needed for the doors to swing open without fouling each other.

The frame is a rigid upright that bolts to the floor and to the underside of the cooler sections. It transfers the load from the refrigeration unit and the shelves directly to the floor, preventing sag and ensuring the doors seal properly when closed. Without this support, the cooler sections would shift over time, causing misalignment and potential damage to the refrigeration system.

To install, position the frame between the two cooler sections, aligning the bolt holes with those on the sections and the floor. Secure the frame with the supplied fixings, ensuring it is plumb and level before tightening fully. The doors can then be hung and adjusted to ensure smooth operation and a tight seal.

This middle post frame is a direct replacement for the original part on the Tefcold BA30H-P backbar cooler. It fits no other models or brands, and is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the cooler when configured as a multi-section unit.

Cleaning involves wiping the frame with a damp cloth to remove dust and spills. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Regular checks should be made to ensure the fixings remain tight and the frame remains plumb, preventing misalignment of the cooler sections over time.

This part is listed in the Tefcold spare parts catalogue under refrigeration components for backbar coolers.
