Hatco HWBHI-7QTDA 7 Qt. Round Drop-In Heated Well, Insulated, Drain & Auto-Fill, High Watt, 120/208/240V
Description
A drop-in 7 qt. round 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-7QTDA is an insulated 7 qt. round heated well. It holds one 7-quart round pan and runs wet or dry. The 815W at 120/240V, 730W at 208V metal sheathed element sits in a stainless and aluminized steel housing, controlled by a remote auto-fill control box that fills the well and keeps the water level 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.
Auto-fill water level
The auto-fill system fills the well when switched on and keeps the water at the sensor level during service.
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.
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.
- Auto-fill needs a 1/4" NPT water supply at 25 to 100 psi and 60 to 110°F with backflow protection. Water from an RO system needs a working remineralization system or the well may overfill.
