Hatco GRAH-54 Glo-Ray 54" High Watt Aluminum Infrared Strip Heater, 1250 W, Toggle Switch, 120/208/240V
Description
An overhead infrared heater that keeps plated food and pans hot along a 54" pass-through or shelf.
The Hatco GRAH-54 is a Glo-Ray high watt aluminum infrared strip heater, 54" 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 1250 watts on 120V, 208V or 240V single phase, chosen at order, with toggle switch control at the chef's left side.

- Clearance
- Near combustibles: 13.5" to the surface below, 3" to a wall, 1" below an overshelf
The size number is the overall length: the GRAH-54 is 54" 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
1250 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 54" width, and the reflector does not blacken, so the heat pattern stays even.
Simple toggle control
An on/off toggle switch, rated 15 amps maximum, sits at the chef's left side. Remote switches and control boxes are factory options.
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 13 lb, including packaging.
- 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.
