Hatco GRSB-30-F Glo-Ray Built-In Recessed Heated Shelf, 31-1/2" x 17", 505 W, 120V
Description
A drop-in heated shelf that turns a 30-1/2" x 16" countertop cutout into a heated holding zone for pans and plates.
The Hatco GRSB-30-F is a Glo-Ray built-in heated shelf with a recessed top. It drops into a countertop opening and sits on a 3/4" flange, with a hardcoat aluminum surface recessed 1/2" and a blanket-type element underneath for even heat. The usable heated area is 30" x 15-1/2". A thermostat control box on a 36" flexible conduit carries the lighted power switch, and a 6 ft. cord with NEMA 5-15P plug runs to a 120V outlet. It draws 505 watts.

Check the countertop material: Hatco recommends metal counters; other materials must take temperatures up to 200°F.
Recessed hardcoat top
The hardcoat aluminum surface sits 1/2" below the flange, so pans and plates stay in place on the heated area.
Even blanket heat
A blanket-type element and fiberglass insulation keep uniform heat at the holding surface.
Semi-remote control box
The thermostat and lighted rocker switch sit in a control box with mounting brackets. Mount it under the unit or up to 36" away.
Clean drop-in fit
A 3/4" flanged edge sits on the counter around a 30-1/2" x 16" minimum cutout in counters up to 1-1/4" thick.
Pairs with strip heaters
Hatco says the next larger GRA or GR2A strip heater fits over the top, for example a GRA-36 or GR2A-36 over this 30" shelf.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco ships the shelf assembled and ready for installation. Have the countertop cutout made to the chart size before it arrives.
- Set the unit into the opening with a bead of NSF-approved sealant rated for at least 250°F under the flange, then snug the Z-brackets until the flange lies flat. Do not overtighten.
- Mount the control box outside the heat zone. Do not pull the conduit tight or cut the thermostat capillary to gain distance.
- Plug it into a grounded 120V NEMA 5-15 receptacle, switch it on, set the thermostat and allow about 30 minutes to reach operating temperature.
- Clean daily once it is off and cool: wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Do not slide pans or use rough-bottomed pans on the hardcoat surface.
Questions buyers ask
What size cutout does it need?
30-1/2" to 30-3/4" wide by 16" to 16-1/4" deep, in a countertop up to 1-1/4" thick. The overall size with flange is 31-1/2" x 17".
What does it plug into?
A 120V NEMA 5-15 receptacle. The shelf draws 505 watts, 4.2 amps, through a 6 ft. cord attached to the control box.
Can I put it in a stone or laminate counter?
Hatco recommends a metal countertop. For other surfaces, check that the material is suitable for temperatures up to 200°F. Hatco is not responsible for counter damage from the heat.
