Hatco AWD-12 Atmospheric Hot Water Dispenser, 12 Gallon Tank, 5.0 kW, 208V or 240V
Description
Pre-measured hot water at the push of a button for food prep and cleaning, from a compact countertop tank.
The Hatco AWD-12 Atmospheric Hot Water Dispenser heats water in a 12-gallon stainless steel tank and dispenses 2, 3 or 4 quarts with one button, plus a manual dispense button for other amounts. It delivers up to 8 gallons of continuous hot water, with the setpoint adjustable from 75°F up to the 195°F factory default. The shelf lifts out so larger containers fit under the spout. Choose 208V or 240V single phase when you order, and the standard NEMA 6-30P plug or the NEMA L6-30P locking cap option.
