Hatco GRAL-18 Glo-Ray Infrared Aluminum Strip Heater, 18" W, 2 Lights, 370W, 120, 120/208 or 120/240V
Holds plated food hot under a 18" pass or shelf and lights it up for the line, from one hardwired aluminum strip.
The Hatco GRAL-18 is an 18" Glo-Ray infrared strip heater with 2 built-in display lights. Its standard watt element puts out 370 watts, and the pre-focused heat pattern covers the holding surface with no cold spots. The extruded aluminum housing is 18" W x 9" D x 2-1/2" H and comes clear anodized. Pick 120V, 120/208V or 120/240V single phase in the voltage dropdown.
Measure the pass: the housing is 18" wide and 9" deep, and it is hardwired, so plan an electrician.
The Glo-Ray heat pattern spreads heat across the holding surface with no cold spots and keeps food at serving temperature longer.
2 coated, shatter-resistant 60 W incandescent bulbs, one per foot, light the food and guard it from bulb breakage.
The 18" extruded aluminum housing does not sag, and the reflector does not blacken, so the heat pattern stays consistent.
A metal-sheathed heating element sits behind a reinforced wire guard that does not change the heat pattern.
Designer colors, gloss finishes, sneeze guards, halogen bulbs, extra lamps, remote or infinite switches and stands are chosen at purchase.
It draws 370 W: 3.1 A at 120V, 2.2 A at 120/208V or 2.0 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.
Hatco recommends 8" to 11" above the food. Use adjustable angle brackets under a shelf, chain suspension or tubular stands.
Standard units are hardwired with 36" conduit. A 6 ft. cord and NEMA 5-15P plug can be added at order on 120V models up to 72" wide, with chain mount, C-leg or T-leg stands.
The standard control is an On/Off toggle. A built-in or remote infinite control (max. 12.2 A) can be ordered instead; Hatco asks you to consult the factory if the element draws more than 12.2 A.
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.
