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.

Inside the CED 1506E

Self-contained — no ice fill required

The CED 1506E has its own compressor + 30 lb ice bank inside. You just plumb water, CO₂, and syrup in — the dispenser handles the cooling itself. Here's what connects.

1
Water in1/4" line, 40+ PSI flowing. Filtered by the BEV135 in the bundle, then to the carbonator.
2
CO₂ inFrom the 20 lb tank → primary regulator → carbonator → dispenser at 70–80 PSIG.
3
Syrup in × 6One Bevlex line per BIB, pulled by a Flojet pump at 55–65 PSI. Six lines = six valves.
4
Drain3/8" line to floor drain with an air gap (code requirement).
5
No ice fill neededThe CED 1506E's internal 30 lb ice bank is built and maintained by the 1/3 HP compressor — no external ice machine connection required. This is the headline difference from the IBD-H series.
6
Power115V, dedicated 15A circuit recommended (the compressor draws meaningfully more current than an ice-fed dispenser). Provide ~3" rear clearance for compressor airflow.

Before your installer shows up

Pre-install checklist

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

✓

115V dedicated 15A circuitThe 1/3 HP compressor draws meaningfully more than ice-fed dispensers — a dedicated circuit prevents nuisance trips when other appliances cycle on.

✓

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.

✓

3" rear clearanceCompressor airflow exits the back. Cramming the unit against a wall causes the compressor to overheat and the ice bank to fall behind during peak service.

✓

Counter footprint~22" wide × ~24" deep. Plan for the 3" rear clearance on top of the counter dimension.

✓

BIB shelf / under-counter spaceEach BIB rack is ~24" × 12". You'll need 3 racks for 6 valves.

Common questions

What buyers ask before they pull the trigger

The IBD-H series chills drinks via an external ice bath — you load cube ice into the bin every shift. The CED 1506E has a built-in 1/3 HP compressor and 30 lb internal ice bank that the unit maintains itself. No ice fill, no ice machine connection. Trade-offs: the CED 1506E draws more electricity (compressor running) and has a hard cap on cold-plate capacity (the ice bank takes time to recover during high-volume runs). For standard 6-flavor menus on counter installs without a dedicated ice well, it's the right pick.

Yes — 115V, but use a dedicated 15A circuit. The compressor cycle pulls more current than an ice-fed dispenser, and sharing a circuit with another appliance (microwave, coffee grinder, etc.) leads to nuisance trips during peak. The bundle above doesn't include the receptacle work — that's on your electrician.

No. The CED 1506E is the head unit only. You also need a carbonator (we ship the McCann's Big Mac), CO₂ supply, regulator, syrup pumps (6 of them), BIB racks, and tubing. The bundle above includes all of it pre-specced from Lancer's install guide.

30 lb of ice translates to roughly 150–200 drinks before the compressor needs to recover. For under 500 drinks/day at peak that's plenty. For higher volume, you'll feel the cold plate slow down during sustained surges — that's the point at which stepping up to the CED 2508 (40 lb bank, 1/2 HP compressor) makes sense. Call our techs for a sizing check.

Daily: wipe the cold plate face, nozzles, and drip tray, sanitize valve faces. Weekly: chemical syrup-line cleaning per BIB. Quarterly: change the BEV135 water filter, inspect the backflow preventer, and vacuum the compressor condenser fins (rear of the unit). The condenser cleaning is critical — clogged fins are the #1 cause of CED compressor failures.

No — the CED 1506E chassis is hard-built for 6 valves. If you'll grow past 6 flavors within a year or two, step up to the CED 2508 (8-valve) or CCD-800 (8-valve portion control). Same install pattern, larger ice bank and compressor. Call our techs and we'll quote both side by side.

Lancer factory warranty is 1 year parts and labor on the unit. We stock the CED 1506E — 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.
