Hatco GRAL-84 Glo-Ray 84" Infrared Strip Heater with Lights, Standard Watt, 1,920 W, 120, 120/208 or 120/240V
Description
A 84-inch infrared strip heater with built-in display lights that keeps plated food hot at the pass.
The Hatco Glo-Ray GRAL-84 is the standard watt, 84" member of the GRAL family. A pre-focused metal-sheathed element spreads 1,920 watts of infrared heat evenly across the holding area, while 7 coated, shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the food. The extruded aluminum housing is 9" deep and 2.5" high and does not sag. It runs on 120, 120/208 or 120/240 volts single phase; choose the voltage when you order.

Measure the shelf or pass: the heater is 84" long and 9" deep, and the conduit leaves from the server's right end.
Even infrared heat
The pre-focused heat pattern covers the full 84" length with no cold spots, so food holds its serving temperature longer.
Built-in display lights
7 coated, shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the food and protect it from glass if a bulb breaks.
Sag-free aluminum housing
The extruded aluminum housing stays straight, and the reflector does not blacken, so the heat pattern stays consistent.
Simple controls
A built-in toggle switch sits on the chef's left side, the light side of the unit. Remote toggle or infinite controls are options.
Safe wire guard
A reinforced wire guard protects the operator without blocking the heat.
Mounting flexibility
Four stainless steel shelf mounting tabs come standard. Stands, angle brackets and chain kits are offered for other setups.
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.
- Follow the mounting heights and clearances in the Hatco installation manual. If you add a remote control box, install it outside the heat zone.
- Hatco notes that 120V versions of this size may need tandem (end-to-end) elements with an infinite switch, or additional switches. Confirm with Hatco when you order a 120V unit.
