Hatco GRAHL-120 Glo-Ray 120" High Watt Infrared Strip Heater with Lights, 3,400W, 120, 120/208 or 120/240V
Description
A 120-inch high watt heat strip with built-in display lights that keeps plated food hot and well lit at the pass.
The Hatco GRAHL-120 is a 120" Glo-Ray high watt strip heater with lights for a pass-through, heated shelf or serving line. A tubular metal-sheathed element and pre-focused reflector spread 3,400 W of infrared heat over the food, while 10 shatter-resistant coated incandescent bulbs light it for staff and guests. It is built for 120, 120/208 or 120/240V single phase, set at order; the dual-voltage versions run the lights on 120V and the heat on 208V or 240V. A toggle switch on the chef's left side is standard, and the unit is hardwired through a 36" flexible metal conduit.

- Outside size
- 120" W x 9" D x 2-1/2" H aluminum housing
- Power
- 3,400 W, single phase, voltage set at order: 120V 28.3 A, 120/208V 18.5 A or 120/240V 16.7 A
- Hookup
- Hardwired; 36" flexible metal conduit with 42" leads on the server's right
- Mounting height

- Clearances
- At least 13-1/2" above combustible surfaces, 3" from a combustible wall, 1" below an overshelf
- Breaker
- If the heat circuit needs a breaker over 20 A, the lights need their own breaker of 20 A or less; 120V units use tandem elements and extra switches
Measure the span: the housing is 120" long and 9" deep, and keep at least 3" between two strip heaters mounted side by side.
Built-in display lights
10 shatter-resistant coated incandescent bulbs light the food while protecting it from bulb breakage.
Pre-focused infrared heat
The tubular metal-sheathed element and pre-focused reflector cover the holding surface with 3,400 W, with no cold spots.
No-sag aluminum housing
A continuous extruded aluminum housing spans the full 120" without sagging, and the reflector does not blacken.
High watt output
GRAHL models are Hatco's high watt version, for a pass where the element hangs 11" to 14" above the food.
Tandem elements
At 120" the heater uses tandem end-to-end elements that may be controlled separately, so you can heat only part of the line.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 40 lb.
- A qualified electrician hardwires it to a grounded circuit of the correct voltage. Units are voltage specific; check the specification label and wiring diagram first.
- Use adjustable angle brackets for under-shelf mounting, or chains or tubular stands. Light bulbs are not covered by the warranty.
- 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, 120/208 or 120/240V, set at order. At 3,400 W it draws 28.3 A at 120V, 18.5 A at 120/208V or 16.7 A at 120/240V.
Why 120/208V or 120/240V?

Hatco recommends 11" to 14" from the element to the food for high watt models, and at least 13-1/2" above combustible surfaces.
How do I clean it?
Turn it off, let it cool, then wipe the metal surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry it. Do not submerge it, steam clean it or use a lot of water.
