Hatco GR-18 Glo-Ray 18" Stainless Steel Infrared Strip Heater, Standard Watt, 250 W, 120/208/240V
Description
A 18" stainless steel overhead warmer that holds hot food at serving temperature under a shelf or pass without further cooking it.
The Hatco GR-18 is the 18" standard watt Glo-Ray infrared strip heater in a stainless steel housing. A pre-focused heat pattern from a tubular metal-sheathed element covers the entire holding surface with no cold spots. It is rated 250 watts and comes in 120, 208 or 240V single phase; the voltage is set when you order. It is hardwired as standard, with an On/Off toggle switch and 3 ft. of conduit with leads.

Pre-focused heat
The Glo-Ray heat pattern covers the entire holding surface with consistent temperatures and no cold spots.
Stainless steel housing
The housing is stainless steel; Hatco says to contact the factory for stainless marine applications.
Reflector stays bright
The reflector does not blacken, so the heat pattern stays consistent over time.
Guarded element
A reinforced wire guard protects staff without affecting heat distribution, and heavy-duty insulation cuts heat loss.
Easy install
It is factory assembled with mounting tabs, an On/Off toggle switch on the chef's left side and 3 ft. of conduit with leads on the server's right.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 7 lb.
- A licensed electrician should hardwire the standard unit through its 3 ft. conduit leads at the voltage on the specification label.
- Mount it 8" to 11" above the food. A hardwired unit with a built-in switch goes in a pass-through area with 1" below an overshelf and 10" to the surface below.
- Install any remote control box outside the heat zone, or it will be damaged.
