Hatco GR2A-36 Glo-Ray Designer Infrared Strip Heater, 39-1/2" W, 575 W, 120/208/240V
Description
A 39-1/2-inch Designer heat strip on stands that keeps plated food hot at the pass and looks right out front.
The Hatco GR2A-36 Glo-Ray Designer Infrared Strip Heater is a 39-1/2" standard watt warmer in a continuous aluminum housing on standard 14" Designer non-adjustable stands. A pre-focused heat pattern holds food at serving temperature without continuing to cook it. It is rated 575 W and is built for 120, 208 or 240V single phase, set at order. The heater has no switch of its own: you order a Hatco remote control box (RMB) separately and mount it outside the heat zone.

Pre-focused heat
A tubular metal-sheathed element and pre-focused reflector keep food at serving temperature longer without continuing to cook it.
No-sag aluminum housing
A sturdy continuous aluminum housing spans the full 39-1/2" without sagging.
14-inch Designer stands
Non-adjustable 14" Designer stands come standard. 10", 12" or 16" stands or 4" overhead mounts can replace them at order.
Designer colors
Aluminum finish is standard with black inset panels and corner caps. Housing and inset panels can be ordered in Warm Red, Black, Gray Granite, White Granite, Navy Blue, Hunter Green and Antique Copper.
Remote control box
Control is remote only. Hatco RMB boxes hold toggle (max. 15 A) or infinite (max. 12.2 A) switches; one RMB2 box can run several warmers.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 37 lb., without the remote box.
- Order a Hatco remote control box (RMB) with the heater; it is not included and the unit cannot run without one. Mount the box outside the heat zone.
- A qualified electrician hardwires the heater to the remote box and a grounded circuit of the correct voltage; use supply wire rated for 194°F (90°C).
- The stands bolt to the counter with the 1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts and nuts provided; drill 1/4" bolt holes and a 1" conduit hole per the manual.
- Keep it at least 17" above combustible surfaces and 6" from combustible walls. Clean daily once cool with a damp, non-abrasive cloth; never submerge or steam clean it.
