Hatco GRAH-54D3 Glo-Ray 54" Dual High Watt Aluminum Infrared Strip Heater, 3" Spacer, 15" Deep, 2500 W, 120/208/240V
Description
Two high watt infrared heaters in one 54" housing keep a deep pass-through or a row of plated food hot and ready to serve.
The Hatco GRAH-54D3 is a Glo-Ray dual high watt aluminum infrared strip heater, 54" wide and 15" deep. Two 6" heater sections sit side by side with a 3" spacer for a deeper holding area, and the pre-focused heat pattern covers the whole surface with no cold spots. It draws 2500 watts on 120V, 208V or 240V single phase, chosen at order, with toggle switch control at the chef's left side.
Will it fit · Will it hook up
- Outside size
- 54" W x 15" D x 2.5" H
- Where it works
- Hatco recommends dual units for a 20" to 24" deep pass-through
- Power
- Single phase, 2500 W: 20.8 A at 120V, 12.0 A at 208V, 10.4 A at 240V; set the voltage at order
- Hookup
- 3 ft. conduit with leads at the server's right, hardwired by an electrician; Hatco lists the conduit as standard on 120V and 208V models
- Mounting height
- Hatco recommends 14" to 18" above the food for high watt dual units
- Clearance
- Not for combustible surroundings. Built-in switches: 10" to the surface below, pass-through only, 1" below an overshelf
The size number is the overall length: the GRAH-54D3 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.
Deeper holding area
A 3" spacer joins two 6" heater sections for a 15" deep unit that covers a deeper pass-through.
High watt output
2500 watts from metal-sheathed tubular elements for mounting 14" to 18" 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.
Toggle switch control
Toggle switch control at the chef's left side is standard. Hatco toggle switches are rated 15 amps maximum, and 120V dual models may need additional switches.
Guarded and insulated
Reinforced 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 30 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.
- Dual units cannot be installed in combustible surroundings, and Hatco does not allow a decorative soffit around a pass-through heater.
- Clean daily once cool: wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry. Do not submerge, steam clean or spray it.
