Description
Holds plated food hot under a 108" pass or shelf and lights it up for the line, from one hardwired aluminum strip.
The Hatco GRAL-108 is a 108" Glo-Ray infrared strip heater with 9 built-in display lights. Its standard watt element puts out 2,390 watts, and the pre-focused heat pattern covers the holding surface with no cold spots. The extruded aluminum housing is 108" W x 9" D x 2-1/2" H and comes clear anodized. Pick 120V, 120/208V or 120/240V single phase in the voltage dropdown.

Measure the pass: the housing is 108" wide and 9" deep, and it is hardwired, so plan an electrician.
Pre-focused heat
The Glo-Ray heat pattern spreads heat across the holding surface with no cold spots and keeps food at serving temperature longer.
Built-in display lights
9 coated, shatter-resistant 60 W incandescent bulbs, one per foot, light the food and guard it from bulb breakage.
Housing that stays straight
The 108" extruded aluminum housing does not sag, and the reflector does not blacken, so the heat pattern stays consistent.
Protected element
A metal-sheathed heating element sits behind a reinforced wire guard that does not change the heat pattern.
Order-time options
Designer colors, gloss finishes, sneeze guards, halogen bulbs, extra lamps, remote or infinite switches and stands are chosen at purchase.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 36 lb., not including any remote control enclosure.
- A licensed electrician should hardwire the unit: it comes with 36" flexible metal conduit with 42" wire leads, server's right.
- If the heat element needs a breaker larger than 20 A, the lights need their own breaker of 20 A or less. Install any remote box outside the heat zone.
- Mount it 8" to 11" above the food and keep Hatco's clearances: hardwired with built-in switch: 8" to the surface below, pass-through area only, 1" below an overshelf. With remote switches: 8" below, 0" to the back wall and overshelf.
- Colors, finishes and factory options are made to order and must be chosen at purchase. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
Questions buyers ask
What power does it need?
It draws 2,390 W: 19.9 A at 120V, 13.4 A at 120/208V or 12.2 A at 120/240V, single phase. On 120/208V and 120/240V units the lights run on 120V and the heat on 208V or 240V.
How high should I mount it?
Hatco recommends 8" to 11" above the food. Use adjustable angle brackets under a shelf, chain suspension or tubular stands.
Does it plug in?
Standard units are hardwired with 36" conduit. Hatco does not offer a cord and plug for this length on 120V; plan to hardwire it.
Can I adjust the heat?
The standard control is an On/Off toggle. A built-in or remote infinite control (max. 12.2 A) can be ordered instead; Hatco asks you to consult the factory if the element draws more than 12.2 A.
What is the warranty?
Hatco covers the metal-sheathed element for 1 year parts and labor plus 1 more year parts only, and other parts for 18 months. Bulbs are not covered. 24/7 parts and service help is available in the US and Canada.
