Red Sea R42496 Front Support — Retrofit Cabinet Reinforcement for REEFER XXL 625 and 750

⚠️ Special order — non-refundable and non-exchangeable. This part is not kept in stock: it is ordered on request from Red Sea. Confirm compatibility with your model before ordering.

The Red Sea R42496 is the official retrofit front support for REEFER XXL 625 and XXL 750 cabinets. Red Sea built this reinforcement into newer versions of these models as standard and offered it as a retrofit to owners of the earlier versions: the part strengthens the cabinet front, right where the tank's load is most demanding.

Installed without draining the tank

According to Red Sea's official communication, this retrofit installs easily, without draining any water and without removing livestock from the system. The cabinet stays in place for the whole operation.
