What's the difference between cube ice and nugget ice on this dispenser?

The cold plate is identical — both versions chill drinks the same way. The difference is the ice bin's auger and dispense path. Cube-ice models work with standard half-cube or smaller from any commercial ice machine. Nugget-ice models accept Sonic-style chewable ice.

Can I run this on a standard 110V outlet?

Yes — standard 115V, the same outlet you'd plug a microwave into. Dedicated 15A circuit recommended.

Does the dispenser come with a carbonator?

No. The IBD22H is the head unit only. You also need a carbonator, CO₂ supply, regulator, syrup pumps, BIB racks, and tubing. The bundle on this page includes all of it pre-specced from Lancer's install guide.

What ice machine pairs with the IBD22H?

Any commercial machine producing half-cube, full-cube, or smaller. Plan ~1 lb ice per 4–5 drinks; the 180 lb bin handles ~700 drinks before refill.

Can I add a 7th valve later?

No — the IBD22H chassis is hard-built for 6 valves. For 7+ flavors, get the Lancer CED-400 8-valve unit instead.

Build the complete 1-valve install in one click

The 301 is the tower head — sized for a counter cold plate or ice well. To pour you also need a CO₂ supply, regulator, carbonator (for soda), BIB rack, syrup pump, water filter, backflow preventer, and tubing. Uncheck what you already have. If you're running a plain water station, skip the carbonator and the syrup pump.

Required + recommended components per Lancer's install guide. The 301 chills via external cold plate or ice bath — your existing bar setup typically has this.

Inside the Tower 301

Four things you connect, no internal cooling

The 301 is a single-valve tower — sits on top of a counter cold plate or in an ice bath. Water (or syrup), CO₂ (if soda), and power come in from below.

1
Water in1/4" line at 40+ PSI flowing. Filtered through the BEV135 → carbonator (if soda) → tower.
2
CO₂ in (soda only)From the 20 lb tank → primary regulator → carbonator → tower at 70–80 PSIG. Skip if you're running plain water or non-carbonated juice.
3
Syrup in × 1One Bevlex line from the BIB, pulled by a single Flojet pump at 55–65 PSI. One pump per tap. Skip if it's a water-only station.
4
Cold plate or ice bath (external)The 301 has no internal cooling — it relies on the bar's existing counter cold plate or a flooded ice well. Line pre-chills before it reaches the valve.
5
Power24V via the included transformer (plugs into a standard 115V receptacle).

Before your installer shows up

Pre-install checklist

Seven things to confirm before the truck arrives. Saves a return visit.

✓

External cold plate or ice wellThe 302 has no internal cooling. Most bar wells already have one — confirm yours does, or budget for a counter cold plate.

✓

115V outlet within 6 ftFor the 24V transformer that ships with the tower. Standard residential receptacle is fine.

✓

Cold water line, 1/4" min40+ PSI flowing. If under 40, add the booster pump from the bundle.

✓

Floor drain with air gap3/8" line. Code requires the air gap — don't hard-pipe.

✓

CO₂ supply staged20 lb tank fits under most counters. Fill at a local welding/beverage gas supplier.

✓

Tower mount footprint~6" wide × ~13" deep on the counter (single-valve tower is the smallest in the family). Plumbing comes up through the counter.

✓

BIB shelf / under-counter spaceOne BIB rack (~24" × 12") holds the single syrup box. Skip entirely for water-only stations.

Common questions

What buyers ask before they pull the trigger

Three common patterns: (1) a filtered water station — chilled water on tap for restaurants, gyms, or break rooms; (2) a single-flavor juice or lemonade tap; (3) a signature soda or specialty beverage tap. The 301 is overkill if you need 2+ flavors — step up to the 302 instead.

No — and this is the most common surprise. The 301 is a tower head only. It mounts above (or in) an external cold plate or ice bath. Most bar wells already have a cold plate built in. If yours doesn't, budget for a separate counter cold plate. Call our techs to spec one to fit your setup.

No. The 301 is the tower only. If you're running soda you also need a carbonator (we ship the McCann's Big Mac), CO₂ supply, regulator, syrup pump, BIB rack, and tubing. The bundle above pre-specs all of it. For plain water or non-carbonated juice, skip the carbonator and CO₂ side entirely — just water filter + line + pump.

No special wiring. The 301 ships with a 24V transformer that plugs into a standard 115V receptacle. The 24V is just what the LEV solenoid valves run on internally. Same household outlet you'd use for any small appliance.

No — the 301 chassis is hard-built for a single valve. If you think you'll grow past 1 flavor, step up to the 302 (2-valve) — same tower platform, same install pattern, just one extra valve. Difference is about $60. Call our techs and we'll quote both side by side.

Daily: wipe the nozzle and drip tray, sanitize the valve face. Weekly: chemical line cleaning if it's running syrup. Quarterly: change the BEV135 water filter and inspect the backflow preventer. We sell the cleaning kits — call our techs if you want a maintenance bundle priced out.

Lancer factory warranty is 1 year parts and labor on the tower. We stock the 301 — most orders ship same-day if placed before 2pm CT, ground transit 3–5 days to most US zips. International freight available, call for a quote.

Still unsure? Call the techs.

You're spending $3K+ on a 10-year piece of equipment. A 5-minute call with someone who's installed 200 of these is free, and almost always cheaper than the wrong order.
