Hatco GR2AH-18D Glo-Ray Designer High Watt Dual Infrared Strip Heater, 21-1/2" W, 6" Spacer, 700W, 120, 208 or 240V
Description
Two high watt infrared heat strips side by side in one 21-1/2" unit, for a deeper pass-through or holding line.
The Hatco GR2AH-18D is a Glo-Ray Designer dual high watt infrared strip heater in a continuous aluminum housing, 21-1/2" wide. Two warmers sit side by side with a 6" spacer, so the unit is 21" deep; Hatco offers a 3" spacer as standard and a 6" spacer as an option. It is rated 700 W and comes for 120, 208 or 240 volt single phase service, chosen at order. 14" Designer stands, black inset panels and black corner caps are standard. Controls are remote only, so plan on an RMB remote control box, sold separately.

Pre-focused infrared heat
Reflectors focus heat from a tubular metal-sheathed element to hold food at serving temperature without continuing to cook it.
Two strips, deeper coverage
Two warmers mount side by side for a deeper holding area. This unit has the 6" spacer, 21" deep overall; Hatco lists 3" as standard and 6" as an option.
High watt output
The high watt version is rated 700 W at this width. Hatco sets it 14" to 18" above the food, higher than the standard watt model.
Continuous aluminum housing
One continuous aluminum housing resists sagging, offered in widths from 21-1/2" to 87-1/2".
Designer colors
Aluminum finish with black inset panels and corner caps is standard. Warm Red, Black, Gray Granite, White Granite, Navy Blue, Hunter Green or Antique Copper, and dark gray corner caps, are options at order.
Stands or overhead mount
14" Designer non-adjustable stands come standard. 10", 12" or 16" stands, 4" overhead mounts, sneeze guards and longer leads are options at order.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Do not lay the unit on its front or back side; Hatco says damage could occur.
- Have a qualified, licensed electrician hardwire it to local codes with supply wire rated 194°F (90°C). Units are voltage-specific, so check the specification label.
- The stands bolt to the counter with the supplied 1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts, through a 1" conduit hole. A metal counter may need a backing plate, not supplied.
- Mount the RMB control box in a cool, dry spot outside the heat zone and away from steam equipment, or the controls will be damaged.
Questions buyers ask
Does it come with a control?

Single phase, hardwired. 5.8 A at 120V, 3.4 A at 208V, 2.9 A at 240V, 700 W. Choose the voltage at order.
How high do I mount it?
Hatco lists an element height of 14" to 18" above the food for a 24" holding width. Keep it at least 32" above combustible surfaces and 6" from a combustible wall.
3" or 6" spacer?
The 3" spacer is standard and makes the unit 18" deep; the optional 6" spacer makes it 21" deep. This listing is the 6" spacer version. Hatco recommends a dual unit for pass-throughs 18" to 24" deep.
Can I pick colors?
Yes, at order. Housing, inset panels, stands and the remote box come in seven Designer colors, and corner caps in dark gray. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
