Hatco HWBHI-43D 4/3-Size Drop-In Heated Well, Insulated, with Drain, High Watt, 1650W, 120/208/240V
Description
A drop-in 4/3-size heated well that holds steam table food hot in a counter, with a thermostat that adds heat only when the well needs it.
The Hatco HWBHI-43D is an insulated 4/3-size heated well. It holds one full-size pan plus one 1/3-size pan, four 1/3-size pans, or two 1/2-size pans plus one 1/3-size pan with adapter bars, or two 11-quart round pans with an adapter top, and runs wet or dry. The 1650W metal sheathed element sits in a stainless and aluminized steel housing, controlled by a remote control box with a lighted on/off rocker switch and temperature dial on a 36" flexible conduit. A 3/4" NPT drain with a flat screen makes emptying the water easy and keeps pans level.

Measure the cutout before ordering: the unit is voltage specific and its electrical needs are on the specification label.
Self-adjusting thermostat
The thermostat reads the actual temperature of the well and adds heat only when needed, so preset temperatures hold.
Separate on/off switch
A lighted on/off rocker switch and temperature dial sit in a remote control box on a 36" flexible conduit; 72" conduit is optional.
Wet or dry operation
Designed for wet or dry holding. Hatco recommends wet operation, with water up to 1-1/4" deep, for consistent food heating.
Larger drain
3/4" NPT drain with flat screen: Hatco calls it 50% larger, it simplifies cleaning and holds pans level.
Insulated well
Insulation on the sides and bottom keeps heat in the well and leaves surrounding surfaces cooler.
Easy service access
Elements and thermostats are easy to reach for service; EZ locking hardware speeds up top-mount installation.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco says the well must be installed by qualified installers to local electrical and plumbing codes; use a qualified electrician for power and a plumber for the drain.
- Install with ribbon putty gasket between the well and the counter, and keep at least 3-1/2" from the bottom of the unit to combustible surfaces.
- Mount the control box vertically, at least 6" and no more than 72" from the well.
