Remote thermostat
A compact thermostat control with bezel and a separate lighted on/off switch sits in a remote box on a 36" flexible conduit.
Larger drain
A 3/4" NPT drain with a flat drain screen keeps pans level and makes cleaning easy.
Quick service
Hatco designed the well for quick element or thermostat changes.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 31 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 lock it in with the EZ locking hardware.

- Run the unit empty when you first turn it on: factory oils can smoke for up to 30 minutes.

What size hole do I cut?

Which controls can I choose?
A compact thermostat with bezel is standard. Larger recessed thermostatic or WM assembly controls are options, and the ITC electronic control is offered on units with a drain. Choose at order.
