Hatco GRAH-144 Glo-Ray 144" High Watt Aluminum Infrared Strip Heater, 3450 W, Toggle Switch, 120/208/240V
Description
An overhead infrared heater that keeps plated food and pans hot along a 144" pass-through or shelf.
The Hatco GRAH-144 is a Glo-Ray high watt aluminum infrared strip heater, 144" wide and 6" deep. Its pre-focused heat pattern covers the whole holding surface with no cold spots, so food stays hot without drying out. It draws 3450 watts on 120V, 208V or 240V single phase, chosen at order, with toggle switch control at the chef's left side.

The size number is the overall length: the GRAH-144 is 144" wide, so measure the shelf or pass-through for that.
No cold spots
A pre-focused heat pattern covers the entire holding surface, so food holds at serving temperature without drying out or cooking further.
High watt output
3450 watts from metal-sheathed tubular element for mounting 11" to 14" above the food.
Housing that stays straight
The continuous extruded aluminum housing does not sag across the full 144" width, and the reflector does not blacken, so the heat pattern stays even.
Toggle switch control
Toggle switch control at the chef's left side is standard. Hatco toggle switches are rated 15 amps maximum; tandem elements may be individually controlled.
Tandem elements
Models 108" and wider use end-to-end elements that may be individually controlled.
Guarded and insulated
Protective wire guards protect the element without blocking heat, and insulation minimizes heat loss.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Approximate shipping weight is 48 lb, including packaging; a remote control box is not included.
- Have a qualified electrician hardwire it to a properly grounded circuit that matches the voltage on the specification label.
- Install remote control boxes and switches outside the heat zone, or heat will damage them.
- Keep it at least 13.5" above combustible surfaces and 3" from a combustible wall; do not hide it behind a decorative soffit.
- Clean daily once cool: wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry. Do not submerge, steam clean or spray it.
Questions buyers ask
How high should I mount it?
Hatco recommends 11" to 14" above the food for high watt units, and never less than 13.5" above a combustible surface.
What power does it need?
Single phase at 120, 208 or 240V, chosen at order. At 3450 watts it draws 28.8 A at 120V, 16.6 A at 208V, 14.4 A at 240V. It is hardwired through conduit with leads.
Can it use an infinite control at 120V?
No. Hatco does not offer the 144" high watt model with infinite controls at 120V. It uses tandem end-to-end elements that may be individually controlled.
Single or dual strip heater?
Hatco recommends a single unit for a 12" to 16" deep pass-through and a dual unit for a 20" to 24" deep pass-through.
Can I order colors or sneeze guards?
Yes, at time of purchase only: Designer colors or gloss finishes, sneeze guards, an indicator light, remote switches and stands. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
