Hatco GR2AL-54D Glo-Ray Designer Dual Infrared Strip Heater with Lights, 57-1/2" W, 3" Spacer, 2,090 W, Standard Watt
Description
Two Glo-Ray Designer heaters side by side with display lights, for a deeper pass-through or buffet area that holds hot food at serving temperature.
The Hatco GR2AL-54D mounts two standard-watt Glo-Ray warmers side by side in one continuous aluminum Designer housing, so you hold food over a deeper area than a single strip covers. This listing is the 3" spacer version (Hatco standard), 57-1/2" wide and 18" deep. It is rated 2,090 watts and has 4 coated shatter-resistant incandescent display lights. It comes on 14" Designer non-adjustable stands with black inset panels and corner caps; the remote control box (RMB) is ordered separately.

Two heaters, one housing
Side-by-side warmers cover a deeper holding area. With the 3" spacer the unit is 18" deep.
Display lights
4 coated shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the food and guard it from bulb breakage. Halogen bulbs, extra lamps or no bulbs are factory options.
Pre-focused heat
A tubular metal-sheathed element and pre-focused heat pattern hold food at serving temperature longer without cooking it further.
Housing that does not sag
The continuous aluminum housing spans the full 57-1/2" width without sagging. Aluminum finish is standard; seven Designer colors are options.
Stands or overhead mounts
14" Designer non-adjustable stands are standard; 10", 12" or 16" stands or 4" overhead mounts can be ordered in their place.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco requires a qualified, licensed electrician to make all connections to local electrical codes.
- Order the RMB remote control box with the heater; it is not included. Mount it outside the heat zone and away from steam.
- If the heating element needs a breaker larger than 20 A, the lights must have their own breaker of 20 A or less.
- Do not lay the unit on its front or back side. It bolts down through the stand flanges with the supplied 1/4" x 1-1/2" hex bolts.
- Manufacturing oils may smoke for up to 30 minutes at first start-up; run it without food until the smoke stops.
- Clean it only when it is off and cool, with non-abrasive cleaners and cloths. Do not submerge it or soak it with water.
Questions buyers ask
What do I need to order with it?
A remote control enclosure (RMB). Hatco sells the heater without controls: order one RMB per heater, or an RMB2 that can run several heaters when their combined amps stay under its rating.
What power does it need?
Single phase, wired in by an electrician: 17.4 A at 120V, 10.9 A at 120/208V or 9.7 A at 120/240V, 2,090 W. Voltage is chosen when you order.
How high should I mount it?
Hatco recommends the element 10" to 14" above the food, 18" wide target area. Keep it at least 27" above combustible surfaces (Hatco rule for dual standard-watt warmers) and 6" from a combustible wall.
What does the spacer change?
The depth. With the standard 3" spacer the unit is 18" deep; with the optional 6" spacer it is 21" deep. This listing is the 3" spacer version.
What colors can I get?
Aluminum finish with black inset panels and corner caps is standard. Housing, inset panels, stands and the remote box come in Warm Red, Black, Gray Granite, White Granite, Navy Blue, Hunter Green or Antique Copper; dark gray corner caps are optional. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
What is the warranty?
Hatco covers the metal-sheathed heating element for 1 year parts and labor plus 1 more year parts only. Other parts carry Hatco's 18-month limited warranty from shipment or registration, whichever is later; bulbs and glass are not covered.
