Hatco GRNM-72 Glo-Ray Narrow Max Watt Stainless Steel Infrared Strip Heater, 72", 2075 W, 120/208/240V
Description
A slim 72" stainless steel overhead warmer, only 2" high and 4" deep, that puts max watt heat over a buffet line or pass.
The Hatco GRNM-72 is the 72" Glo-Ray Narrow Max Watt infrared strip heater in a stainless steel housing. Its tubular metal-sheathed element and pre-focused heat pattern hold food at serving temperature without cooking it further, and Hatco rates the Max Watt line at 25% more output than Glo-Ray high watt. It draws 2075 watts, single phase, in 120, 208 or 240V; the voltage is set when you order. It is hardwired and ships without a switch: order an RMB2 series remote control box with it.

Max watt output
2075 watts from a 72" heater. Hatco rates Max Watt at 25% more output than its Glo-Ray high watt line.
Slim 2" profile
The housing is just 2" high and 4" deep, so it keeps sight lines open over buffet and display areas.
Pre-focused heat
Specially designed reflectors and a pre-focused heat pattern hold food at serving temperature longer without continuing to cook it.
Stainless steel only
Housing, angle brackets and optional tubular stands come in stainless steel on GRNM models. Heavy-duty insulation minimizes heat loss.
Remote control
GRNM units use remote controls only. One RMB2 box can run more than one warmer (US and Canada).
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 16 lb., not including the remote control box.
- The heater ships without controls. Order the RMB2 series remote control box with it and mount the box outside the heat zone.
- A licensed electrician should hardwire the unit at the voltage on its specification label, in line with local electrical codes. A cord and plug is not available on GRNM models.
- Mount it 14" to 18" above the food in non-combustible surroundings only: 12" to the surface below, 3" to a wall and 1" below an overshelf.
- Clean daily once it is off and cool: wipe metal surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth, then dry.
Questions buyers ask
Does it come with a switch?
No. GRNM heaters use remote controls only and ship without a control. Hatco requires an RMB2 series remote control box, such as the RMB2-1R (11" wide) or RMB2-2R (14" wide), each with a toggle and an electronic infinite control. Order it separately.
What power does it need?
It is single phase, 2075 watts, in 120, 208 or 240V, chosen when you order: 120V 17.3 A; 208V 10 A; 240V 8.6 A. It is hardwired with 6" leads; longer leads up to 20 ft. are factory options.
Can I get infinite heat control at 120V?
Not with a standard infinite switch. Hatco says the infinite switch is not available on this size at 120V; use an RMB2-1R series remote control box for infinite control.
How high should I mount it?
Hatco recommends 14" to 18" above the food for Max Watt units, with at least 12" to the surface below.
Can it go under a wood shelf?
No. Hatco says GRNM units must be installed in non-combustible surroundings only.
Does it come in colors?
No. GRNM housings come in stainless steel only. Non-adjustable tubular stands with 14" or 16" clearance are available in stainless steel.
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, with 24/7 parts and service assistance in the US and Canada.
