Hatco UGAL-66D Ultra-Glo Ceramic Dual Infrared Strip Heater with Lights, 66" W, 3" Spacer, 4,220 or 4,300 W, 120/208V or 120/240V
Description
Two ceramic heating elements side by side in one 66" housing keep a deep pass-through or holding area hot from higher above the food.
The Hatco UGAL-66D is an Ultra-Glo ceramic dual infrared strip heater with lights. Two ceramic elements sit side by side in an extruded aluminum housing, with a 3" spacer between them, so one 66" unit covers a deeper holding area. The ceramic heat source lets you mount it higher, which gives cooks and servers more working room. 5 shatter-resistant incandescent lights show off the food. Voltage is set when you order: 120/208V (4,220 W) or 120/240V (4,300 W), single phase. The lights run on 120V and the heat runs on 208V or 240V.
Will it fit · Will it hook up
- Outside size
- 66" W x 15" D x 2.5" H with a remote control enclosure; 18-7/8" D with the attached control box
- Power
- 120/208V or 120/240V, single phase, hardwired through a 3 ft. conduit whip. Two circuits: at 120/208V 1,960 W / 9.4 A heat and 2,260 W / 11.9 A heat plus lights; at 120/240V 2,000 W / 8.3 A and 2,300 W / 10.8 A
- Mounting
- Standard watt: 18" to 22" above the food; target holding width about 21". At least 1" below a shelf and 3" from a back wall
- Surroundings
- Non-combustible surroundings only; mount the remote control box outside the heat zone
Each of the two circuits may need its own circuit breaker; have your electrician check the wiring diagram supplied with the unit.
Ceramic heat source
The ceramic element lets the unit hang higher than a standard strip heater, so there is more working clearance under it.
Deeper holding area
Two elements side by side with a 3" spacer make the unit 15" deep. Hatco recommends a dual unit for a 20" to 24" deep pass-through.
Pre-focused heat
The heat pattern concentrates heat at the edges, where heat loss is greatest, so food at the sides stays as hot as food in the middle.
Sag-free aluminum housing
The 66" continuous extruded aluminum housing does not sag. Clear anodized aluminum is standard.
Display lights
5 coated, shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the food and guard against bulb breakage.
Simple controls
It comes with toggle switches and indicator lights, either in an attached control box or in a remote control enclosure.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 40 lb., plus 2 to 8 lb. if a remote control enclosure is ordered.
- A qualified electrician must hardwire the unit; it comes with leads in a 3 ft. flexible conduit whip and adjustable angle brackets for mounting.
- Mount the unit at least 1" below a shelf and 3" from the back wall, in non-combustible surroundings only, and keep any remote control box out of the heat zone.
- Let it run without food on first start-up: manufacturing oils may smoke for up to 30 minutes. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to reach operating temperature.
- Clean daily once cool: wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry it. Do not use jet spray or steam on the unit.
Questions buyers ask
What voltage should I order?
UGAL-66D is built for 120/208V or 120/240V, single phase. Pick the one that matches your building when you order. It uses two circuits; at 120/208V they draw 9.4 A and 11.9 A, at 120/240V 8.3 A and 10.8 A.
How high do I mount it?
Hatco recommends 18" to 22" above the food for standard watt dual units. With the 3" spacer the target holding width is about 21".
3" or 6" spacer: what is the difference?
The standard 3" spacer makes the unit 15" deep; the optional 6" spacer adds 3" for an 18" deep unit and a wider holding area. This listing is the 3" spacer version.
What is included?
Adjustable angle brackets, leads in a 3 ft. conduit whip, and toggle switches with indicator lights in an attached control box or remote control enclosure. Tubular stands and longer leads are factory options.
Can I get a color?
Yes, at the time of purchase: Designer colors (Warm Red, Black, Gray Granite, White Granite, Navy Blue, Hunter Green, Antique Copper) and Gloss finishes (Glossy Gray, Bold Black, Gleaming Gold, Brilliant Blue, Radiant Red). Clear anodized aluminum is standard. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco's limited warranty runs 18 months from shipment or product registration, whichever is later. The spec sheet says the ceramic heating elements are warranted against burnout for one year. Light bulbs are not covered.
What certifications does it have?
The spec sheet shows UL and NSF marks for all dual units (cULus applies only up to 36" widths) and a Made in USA mark.
