APW Wyott HFW-3DTS Three-Well Insulated Drop-In Hot Food Well with Drains, 12" x 20", Thermostatic Control, 208/240V
Description
A fully insulated drop-in hot food well that holds three 12" x 20" pans at safe serving temperatures in a serving line or counter.
The APW Wyott HFW-3DTS is a heavy-duty, top-mount, drop-in modular food warmer with three wells that accommodate three 12" x 20" standard food pans or equivalent fractional inset pans. A one-piece stainless steel top flange, heavy-gauge deep-drawn stainless warming pans and full insulation on the sides, front, back and bottom give quicker preheat and faster recovery. Thermostatic controls, high limits and temperature-ready lights are standard, and E-Z Locks speed installation. Each well has a drain.

Questions buyers ask
Will it fit my counter?

What power does it need?
208/240V, 1,240/1,650 W per well; APW lists it as three phase, with single phase noted as an alternative in its July 2026 guide. It is wired in by an electrician.
Can it run wet or dry?
Both. APW recommends wet operation for best results.
Can I install it in a wood counter?
