Description
Keeps soup, chili or sauce in a 11-quart round pan hot at the serving line, set into the counter.
The Hatco HWBI-11QTDA is an insulated drop-in round heated well for one 11-quart (10-liter) round pan. A self-adjusting thermostat watches the actual temperature and heats only when needed, with a temperature dial and lighted on/off rocker switch in a remote control box. It has a 3/4" NPT drain and an auto-fill that keeps the water level from a 1/4" NPT line. Order it in 120, 208 or 240V, single phase. The well works wet or dry.

Insulated round well
The insulated stainless and aluminized steel well holds one 11-quart round pan and saves energy over an uninsulated well.
Self-adjusting thermostat
The thermostat monitors the actual temperature and controls the heat only when needed, with a separate lighted on/off rocker switch.
Wet or dry
Hatco designs the well for wet or dry operation, so it can hold with or without water.
3/4" drain
A 3/4" NPT drain fitting with a flat drain screen keeps the pan level and makes the well easy to empty.
Auto-fill
The auto-fill feature fills and keeps the proper water level in the well automatically.
Easy service
Heating elements and thermostats are easy to reach for service.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 23 lb.
- Installation must be done by qualified installers to local electrical and plumbing codes. Units are voltage specific: check the label before you wire it.
- Seal the well to the counter with ribbon putty gasket, and keep 3-1/2" between the bottom of the unit and anything combustible.
- Mount the remote control box at least 6" from the well, within the length of the conduit.
- Install the water supply with backflow protection to code. Water from a reverse osmosis system needs a working remineralization system, or the well can overfill.
- Run the unit empty when you first turn it on: factory oils can smoke for up to 30 minutes.
Questions buyers ask
What electrical service does it need?
Order it in 120V (515 W, 4.3 A), 208V (551 W, 2.6 A) or 240V (615 W, 2.6 A), single phase. It connects through the conduit as standard; at 120V a cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug can replace the conduit as an option.
What size hole do I cut?
In a non-combustible countertop, a 11-3/8" round hole. A combustible countertop needs Hatco's mounting kit and a 13" to 13-1/4" square cutout. The control box needs its own cutout.
Is the pan included?
No. The 11-quart round pan and a hinged or notched lid are sold separately as Hatco accessories.
Can I use it wet or dry?
Yes. Let the unit cool to room temperature before you switch between wet and dry, and never let it run dry when it is set up for water.
What does the water line need?
A 1/4" NPT connection with 25 to 100 psi and supply water between 60°F and 110°F, installed with backflow protection.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco's limited warranty lists heated well elements for the HW, HWB and HWBI series at 1 year parts and labor plus 1 more year parts only. Parts not listed carry Hatco's standard 18-month limited warranty. Register the unit with Hatco to avoid delays in warranty coverage.
