Hatco GRAH-72D Glo-Ray 72" Dual High Watt Infrared Strip Heater, 6" Spacer, 3,450W, 120/208/240V
Description
Two 72-inch high watt heat strips side by side, sized to keep a deep pass or plating area hot.
The Hatco GRAH-72D is a 72" Glo-Ray dual strip heater: two high watt heater sections mounted side by side with a 6" spacer between them, for a deeper holding area. This listing is the 6" spacer version, 18" deep overall (the 3" spacer is standard; the 6" spacer is the deeper option). It is rated 3,450 W in total and is built for 120, 208 or 240V single phase, set at order. Toggle switches on the chef's left side are standard, and the unit is hardwired.
Will it fit · Will it hook up
- Outside size
- 72" W x 18" D x 2-1/2" H with the 6" spacer
- Power
- 3,450 W, single phase, voltage set at order: 120V 28.8 A, 208V 16.6 A or 240V 14.4 A
- Hookup
- Hardwired; leads on the server's right, with 3 ft. conduit standard on 120V and 208V models
- Mounting height
- Hatco recommends 14" to 18" from element to food for high watt dual models
- Surroundings
- Non-combustible surroundings only; with built-in switches it must be a pass-through, with 10" to the surface below
- Pass depth
- Hatco recommends a dual unit for a 20" to 24" deep pass-through
- 120V note
- Hatco toggle switches are rated 15 A max., so 120V dual units may need extra switches; confirm with Hatco at order.
Measure the pass: the unit is 72" long and 18" deep, and it cannot be installed in combustible surroundings.
Deeper holding area
Two heater sections side by side with a 6" spacer make the unit 18" deep, for a deeper holding area than one single strip.
Pre-focused infrared heat
Two tubular metal-sheathed elements and pre-focused reflectors spread 3,450 W across the holding surface with no cold spots.
No-sag aluminum housing
Continuous extruded aluminum housings span the full 72" without sagging, and the reflectors do not blacken.
Insulated and guarded
Heavy-duty insulation minimizes heat loss, and reinforced wire guards protect the elements.
Remote control choices
Order remote toggle or infinite switches in a Hatco RMB box, or the no-control option for an RMB2 box that runs several warmers.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 36 lb., without a remote box.
- Hatco ships dual units with the spacer pre-assembled. A qualified electrician hardwires it to a grounded circuit of the correct voltage; units are voltage specific.
- Install it only in non-combustible surroundings. With built-in switches it must be a pass-through, with at least 10" to the surface below.
- If you add a remote control box (RMB), mount it outside the heat zone or the controls will be damaged.
- Clean it daily once it is off and cool: wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry it. Never submerge or steam clean it.
Questions buyers ask
What power does it need?
It is single phase and built for 120, 208 or 240V, set at order. At 3,450 W it draws 28.8 A at 120V, 16.6 A at 208V or 14.4 A at 240V.
What does the spacer do?
The spacer sets the gap between the two heater sections. The 3" spacer is standard and gives a 15" deep unit; the 6" spacer gives 18". This listing has the 6" spacer.
How high should I hang it?
Hatco recommends 14" to 18" from the elements to the food for high watt dual models.
Can I install it under a wooden shelf?
No. Hatco says dual strip heaters cannot be installed in combustible surroundings. With remote switches it can be flush to a non-combustible overshelf.
Can I get a plug on it?
No. Dual units are hardwired, and Hatco does not offer C-leg or T-leg stands for dual strip heaters.
What warranty does Hatco give?
Hatco repairs or replaces defective parts for 18 months from shipment or registration, whichever is later. The metal-sheathed heating element has 1 year parts and labor plus a second year parts only. Register within 90 days.
