Hatco GRAIHL-72 Glo-Ray High Watt Infra-Black Strip Heater, 72" W, 6 Lights, 2,085W, 120, 120/208 or 120/240V
Description
Close-range Infra-Black heat for tight spaces: a 72" strip that holds food hot from just 4" to 10" above it.
The Hatco GRAIHL-72 is a 72" Glo-Ray high watt Infra-Black strip heater with 6 lights. The Infra-Black emitter gives a solid panel of even heat for close mounting, and a thermostat regulates it. It draws 2,085 watts and measures 72" W x 9" D x 2.6" H. It needs a Hatco RMB remote control box or an attached TCBI thermostatic control box, which you choose at order. Pick 120V, 120/208V or 120/240V single phase in the voltage dropdown.

Measure the pass: the housing is 72" wide and 9" deep, and it is hardwired, so plan an electrician.
Infra-Black emitter
A solid black panel gives even, precise heat with no hot spots, made for close mounting over the food.
Thermostatic heat
The heat is thermostatically controlled to hold a consistent temperature.
Lights built in
6 lights show off the food; Chef LED bulbs are an accessory.
Cool aluminum housing
The 72" aluminum housing does not sag, and heavy-duty insulation keeps the outside cool.
Choose your control
Pair it with an RMB remote control box (toggle or infinite switches) or an attached TCBI thermostatic box with indicator lights.
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., not including any remote control enclosure.
- A licensed electrician should hardwire the unit: it comes with 3 ft. conduit with leads, server's right.
- Order the RMB or TCBI control with the heater. Install a remote box outside the heat zone or it will be damaged.
- Light-equipped strip heaters that need a breaker of 20 A or more must be installed with a remote control enclosure that has a fuse of 20 A or less for the light circuit.
- Mount it 4" to 10" above the target surface and keep Hatco's clearances: with TCBI box: 4" to the surface below, pass-through only, 1" below an overshelf. With RMB: 4" below, 3" to the back wall, 0" below an overshelf.
- Colors, finishes and factory options are made to order and must be chosen at purchase. Non-standard colors are non-returnable.
Questions buyers ask
What power does it need?
It draws 2,085 W: 17.4 A at 120V, 11.3 A at 120/208V or 10.2 A at 120/240V, single phase. On 120/208V and 120/240V units the lights run on 120V and the heat on 208V or 240V.
How high should I mount it?
Hatco recommends 4" to 10" above the target surface. Mount it with tubular stands, angle brackets under a shelf or chain suspension.
Is the control included?
No. Hatco prices the heater without its control. Add an RMB remote control enclosure or a TCBI thermostatic control box (8" x 3" x 2-1/2") when you order.
Can I mount it against a wall?
Only with an RMB remote box (3" to the back wall). With the attached TCBI box it must be a pass-through installation.
What is the warranty?
Hatco covers the metal-sheathed element for 1 year parts and labor plus 1 more year parts only, and other parts for 18 months. Bulbs are not covered. 24/7 parts and service help is available in the US and Canada.
