This Avantco 17817610 evaporator drain pan is a direct replacement for the one that came standard with SS-CFT-36, SS-PT-36, and SS-PT-48 series refrigerated cold food tables. The drain pan is a vital part of your unit, collecting runoff water and condensation so that it can be disposed. This prevents it from pooling and damaging other internal components, and inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Be sure to fix a broken one promptly.
