Hatco HWB-43D Drop-In 4/3-Size Heated Well, Uninsulated, Standard Watt, with Drain, 120/208/240V
Description
A 4/3-size drop-in well that holds four third-size pans hot in one opening, wet or dry.
The Hatco HWB-43D is an uninsulated, standard-watt rectangular 4/3-size heated well that holds the equivalent of four third-size pans. Its thermostat reads the actual well temperature and adds heat only when needed. A 3/4" NPT drain with a flat screen makes emptying and cleaning easy. Order it for 120V, 208V or 240V, single phase.

Wet or dry holding
The 4/3-size well holds four 1/3-size pans, one full-size and one 1/3-size pan, or two 1/2-size and one 1/3-size pan with adapter bars, or two 11 qt. round pans with an adapter top. Pans and adapters are sold separately.
50% larger drain
The 3/4" NPT drain with flat drain screen empties the well quickly and keeps pans level.
Reads actual temperature
The thermostat reads the actual well temperature and adds heat only when needed. A separate lighted On/Off rocker switch keeps the dial setting.
Heavy-duty build
Thicker stainless steel construction and solid brazed drain fitting joints; the well is uninsulated.
Easy service
Elements and thermostats are easy to reach for a quick change.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco ships it with EZ locking hardware, a 3 ft. conduit between the control and the well and a remote control with lighted power switch.
- Have a qualified electrician wire the unit to the voltage on its label.
- Mount the control panel at least 6" from the well and no more than 72" away. Leave at least 3-1/2" from the bottom of the unit to combustible surfaces.
- For wet operation fill with hot tap water to a maximum of 1-1/4" deep, and preheat about 30 minutes.
