Description
Two 54-inch infrared heaters joined side by side with lights, for a deeper heated holding area.
The Hatco Glo-Ray GRAL-54D3 is the standard watt GRAL-54D dual strip heater built with the 3" spacer, which makes the unit 15" deep. Two metal-sheathed elements put out 2,090 watts of pre-focused infrared heat, and 4 coated, shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the food. It runs on 120, 120/208 or 120/240 volts single phase; choose the voltage when you order.

Deeper heated area
Two heaters with a 3" spacer between them cover a 15"-deep holding area along the full 54" length.
Built-in display lights
4 coated, shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the food and protect it from glass if a bulb breaks.
Even infrared heat
Pre-focused metal-sheathed elements spread heat evenly with no cold spots, and the reflector does not blacken.
Sag-free aluminum housing
The continuous extruded aluminum housing, heavy-duty mountings and heavy-duty insulation limit sagging and heat loss.
Toggle control
A toggle switch (max. 15 amps) sits on the chef's left side as standard. Remote toggle or remote infinite switches are options.
Safe wire guard
A reinforced wire guard protects the operator without blocking the heat.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco states that the 120/208V and 120/240V versions have separate circuits: 120V for the lights and 208V or 240V for the heat. Follow the wiring diagram that ships with the unit.
- Have a qualified electrician make the connection to local code. Hatco notes that a strip heater with lights that needs a breaker larger than 20 amps for the heat must have a separate breaker of 20 amps or less for the lights.
- Dual units cannot be installed in combustible surroundings. With built-in switches the unit must be in a pass-through area, 10" above the surface, with no back wall installation.
- Hatco notes that 120V versions of this size may need additional switches (remote only). Confirm with Hatco when you order a 120V unit.
