Description
Two 18-inch Max Watt infrared heaters side by side for a deep, high-output heated pass.
The Hatco Glo-Ray GRAM-18D3 is the GRAM-18D Max Watt dual strip heater built with the 3" spacer, which makes it 15" deep. Two metal-sheathed elements put out 900 watts of pre-focused infrared heat, and Hatco rates Max Watt at 25% more output than Glo-Ray high watt. It has no lights. A remote control enclosure with toggle switches and indicator lights, plus angle brackets, are included. It runs on 120, 208 or 240 volts single phase; choose the voltage when you order.

Max Watt output
900 watts from two pre-focused metal-sheathed elements, 25% more than Glo-Ray high watt per Hatco.
Deep heated area
Two heaters with a 3" spacer between them cover a 15"-deep area. Hatco recommends a dual unit for a 20" to 24" deep pass-through.
Holds without cooking
The pre-focused heat keeps food at serving temperature longer without continuing to cook it.
Sag-free aluminum housing
The extruded aluminum housing does not sag, and heavy-duty insulation limits heat loss.
Remote controls
A remote control enclosure with toggle switches and indicator lights is included. Built-in controls are not offered on Max Watt dual models.
Safe wire guard
A protective wire guard supports the element without blocking the heat.
