Description
A 48" overhead infrared warmer with built-in display lights that keeps plated food hot at the pass or on a holding shelf.
The Hatco GRAHL-48-120-TQS is a Glo-Ray high watt aluminum infrared strip heater with lights. A pre-focused heat pattern and a reflector that does not blacken spread even heat across the holding area, and 4 coated shatter-resistant incandescent lights show off the food. It is 48" wide, 9" deep and 2-1/2" high and rated 1,340 W. It is set up for 120V single phase. A built-in toggle switch sits on the chef's left side, and power comes in through 36" of flexible metal conduit with 42" wire leads. This is the Hatco Quick-Ship configuration, item GRAHL48115T: 120V, built-in toggle switch and conduit.

Plan a dedicated 120V circuit: the unit draws 11.2 A, and it is hardwired, not corded.
Even, pre-focused heat
The pre-focused heat pattern spreads heat evenly with no cold spots, so food holds at serving temperature longer.
Built-in display lights
4 coated, shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the holding area and protect food if a bulb breaks. Halogen and Chef LED bulbs are options.
Housing that does not sag
The continuous extruded aluminum housing stays straight across the full 48" length, and the reflector does not blacken.
High watt output
1,340 W of infrared heat lets you mount it higher, at 11" to 14" above the food.
Guarded element
A reinforced wire guard protects staff without changing the heat pattern of the metal-sheathed element.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 17 lb.
- It arrives with most components pre-assembled. Stands, chains or angle brackets are separate options or accessories.
- Have a qualified, licensed electrician hardwire it through the 36 in. conduit and leads.
- If the heat element needs a breaker larger than 20 A, the incandescent lights need their own breaker of 20 A or less.
- Install any remote control box outside the heat zone, or it can be damaged.
