Hatco GR2A-84D Glo-Ray Designer Dual Infrared Strip Heater, 87-1/2" W, 3" Spacer, 3000 W, 120/208/240V
Description
Two 87-1/2-inch Designer heat strips side by side on stands, sized to keep a deep pass or buffet line hot.
The Hatco GR2A-84D Glo-Ray Designer Dual Infrared Strip Heater mounts two standard watt heat strips side by side on one set of 14" Designer non-adjustable stands. This listing is the 3" spacer version, which makes the unit 18" deep overall (the 3" spacer is standard). It is rated 3000 W total and is built for 120, 208 or 240V single phase, set at order. The heater has no switch of its own: you order a Hatco remote control box (RMB) separately and mount it outside the heat zone.

Pre-focused heat
A tubular metal-sheathed element and pre-focused reflector keep food at serving temperature longer without continuing to cook it.
Deeper holding area
Two heat strips side by side with a 3" spacer cover a 18" deep area, for a wide pass or buffet.
No-sag aluminum housing
A sturdy continuous aluminum housing spans the full 87-1/2" without sagging.
14-inch Designer stands
Non-adjustable 14" Designer stands come standard. 10", 12" or 16" stands or 4" overhead mounts can replace them at order.
Designer colors
Aluminum finish is standard with black inset panels and corner caps. Housing and inset panels can be ordered in Warm Red, Black, Gray Granite, White Granite, Navy Blue, Hunter Green and Antique Copper.
Remote control box
Control is remote only. Hatco RMB boxes hold toggle (max. 15 A) or infinite (max. 12.2 A) switches; one RMB2 box can run several warmers.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 138 lb., without the remote box.
- Order a Hatco remote control box (RMB) with the heater; it is not included and the unit cannot run without one. Mount the box outside the heat zone.
- A qualified electrician hardwires the heater to the remote box and a grounded circuit of the correct voltage; use supply wire rated for 194°F (90°C).
- The stands bolt to the counter with the 1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts and nuts provided; drill 1/4" bolt holes and a 1" conduit hole per the manual.
- Keep it at least 27" above combustible surfaces and 6" from combustible walls. Clean daily once cool with a damp, non-abrasive cloth; never submerge or steam clean it.
Questions buyers ask
What power does it need?
It is single phase and built for 120, 208 or 240V, chosen at order. At 3000 W it draws 25 A at 120V, 14.4 A at 208V or 12.5 A at 240V.
Is a switch or control included?
No. Control is remote only. Order a Hatco RMB remote control box with toggle or infinite switches; one RMB per heater, or one RMB2 box for several warmers. Hatco notes this size is not available at 120V with an infinite control.
What does the spacer do?
The spacer sets the gap between the two heat strips. The 3" spacer is standard and gives an 18" deep unit; the 6" spacer gives 21". This listing has the 3" spacer.
How high should the element be?
Hatco lists an element height of 10" to 14" above the holding surface, with a target heat width of 18" for standard watt dual models, with the standard 14" stands or other stand heights to match.
Can I get it in a color?
Yes, at the time of purchase. Housing, inset panels and remote box come in Warm Red, Black, Gray Granite, White Granite, Navy Blue, Hunter Green and Antique Copper; dark gray corner caps are also offered. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
